5 Looks By Sonam Kapoor For Some ‘Sari-torial’ Inspiration
If there’s one thing we know for a fact it’s that Sonam Kapoor’s Instagram is a gold mine for sartorial inspiration. The actress is a trailblazer when it comes to style and fashion in the country and, when it comes to occasion wear, there’s nobody doing it like her.
Amongst her many standout examples, her love for draping a sari is evident. Kapoor, however, likes to play around with the traditional outfit, oscillating between all-out-traditional looks and experimental ones that cement her status as a fashion icon.
If you want to step out-of-the-box and try something new with the six yards, then look towards the Neerja actress for some inspiration. Here are five times she bowled us over with her sari styling…
Sonam Kapoor in JJ Valaya
When she layered her sari with a jacket
At the recently held opening of the Neeta Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre (NMACC), the actress opted for a custom-made JJ Valaya sari. Keeping the theme, ‘India with its Royal Twist’, in mind, the regal ensemble consisted of an ivory sari with a red floral print paired with a raw silk jacket. The actress paired the look with a sleek low bun and traditional jewellery.
Sonam Kapoor in a Good Earth sari
When she wore a contrasting blouse with her sari
For Armaan and Anissa Jain’s post-wedding celebrations, Kapoor picked an ivory Good earth sari and paired it with a contrasting lilac blouse. Admittedly, it’s not the most out-there of Kapoor’s looks, but the styling of the sari and the cohesiveness of the gold work on the sari and the blouse makes this one worth bookmarking for future reference.
Sonam Kapoor in an Anavila sari
When she showed us how to get it right during Summer
The relentless heat of the Summer might make you think twice before pulling out the six yards for an event, but Kapoor’s recent outing in a linen sari might be the perfect way to pull it off. The actress wore a hand-woven and block-printed yellow linen sari by Anavila and paired it with a loose-fitting white blouse. She overlaid it with a yellow silk dupatta to give it a dressier feel.
Sonam Kapoor in Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla sari
When she wore a strapless blouse and looked like a vision
It wasn’t a surprise to anyone when she flipped the rule book on maternity style and gave us one memorable look after the other. One of the best ones out of the many was an Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla sari that she wore for Abu Jani’s birthday bash. The actress paired the ivory sari with a strapless blouse, statement jewels from her mother’s collection, and her glowing baby bump.
Sonam Kapoor In Green Sari
When she shunned a regular blouse in favour of a shirt
The actress is known to favour a statement blouse frequently, like the time her blouse was actually a button down collared shirt. In the past, Kapoor has also paired her sari with a plain white shirt. The blouse/shirt and sari pairing is versatile and can be worn for different occasions, depending on the way you style it.
