Sonam Kapoor in Alexander McQueen - Cannes Film Festival Closing Ceremony

Sonam Kapoor made her highly anticipated red carpet appearance on the last night of the Cannes Film Festival, it was also the night of the premiere of 'Therese Desqueyroux', starring Audrey Tatou.

After last year's look, I have to say, I was a little underwhelmed by this appearance.  However, after my initial reaction subsided, I was able to see the beauty of this Alexander McQueen Pre-Fall 2012 dress.

The high neck dress had sheer sleeves with ruffles and an embroidered bodice and skirt.  There was beauty, drama and mystique to this look and Sonam played up the dark romance with her hair and red lips.

Sonam Kapoor posed for the photographers during the L'Oreal interview at Cannes.

She looked cool and collected in a Marni Spring 2012 ensemble which consisted of a mix of two eclectic prints.  

As usual, Sonam looked wonderful, and styled the look simply with straight, centre parted hair, hoop earrings and Roger Vivier pumps.

Sonam Kapoor in Naeem Khan - L'Oreal and Chopard Cannes Party

Sonam Kapoor made her first official Cannes appearance on Thursday at the L'Oreal and Chopard party.

She wore a Naeem Khan Fall 2012 ballgown.  The black, one-shoulder dress with dots was certainly charming on her.  She dressed it up with red accessories which included a Chopard ruby cocktail ring and a velvet clutch.

Sonam tends to experiment a lot with her looks but I love it when she's in her 'girly' element as it comes naturally to her.

Sonam Kapoor in Naeem Khan - Femina Miss India 2012

Sonam Kapoor attended a beauty pageant in Mumbai last week in a Naeem Khan Spring 2012 gown.


I love the combination of the tasselled silver bodice and the voluminous, bright pink skirt and it's suitably dramatic for a pageant event.

Sonam kept things classy by putting her hair in a loose updo & wearing diamond earrings.

Sonam Kapoor in Prabal Gurung - Maxim Anniversary Party

Sonam Kapoor attended the Maxim anniversary party in Mumbai on Sunday night.

She chose a Prabal Gurung Spring 2011 dress that had a a fully embellished front panel running through its length, ending with feathers.  I love the way the sequined sleeves fall too.

Sonam completed the look with bouffant hair, a bright lip colour, a purple clutch and suede pumps which I'm not too crazy about.

I like the fact that despite it being a Maxim event, Sonam opted for such an elegant dress instead of a something like a skin-tight, sparkly mini.

Sonam Kapoor In Masaba Gupta - 'Wassup' Fest Launch

Sonam Kapoor wore a fresh off the runway Masaba Gupta saree (Summer/Resort 2012) to the launch of the Wassup Fest (an art & entertainment festival) in Mumbai.

The green saree which featured a a thick, embroidered velvet hem & a printed, flutter-sleeve blouse was beautiful as were her hairstyle & accessories.

As lovely as she looks, I'm not sure I'd wear a saree to an outdoors event like this - I would have rather seen her in a great day-dress; her look is more suited to an evening event.

Sonam Kapoor at Milan Fashion Week

Sonam Kapoor was a front row regular during Milan Fashion Week.

The fashionista stepped out in three very different looks through the week.

She sat front row at the Salvatore Ferregamo Fall 2012 show in a vintage look.  A pussy-bow blouse was paired with navy coloured cropped pants and a collar-less coat.  A curled hairstyle, red lips, a tan satchel and heels completed the look.

At the Dolce & Gabbana show, she wore a whimsical sunflower & onion print Spring 2012 dress.

A ponytail, gold earrings, red bag and nude peep-toes were the finishing touches.

It was a complete change for her at the Roberto Cavalli Fall showing.  

Sonam wore a a snakeskin print maxi dress topped with a leopard print fur collared jacket.  In a very signature Cavalli way, Sonam wore her hair poker straight with a centre parting and smokey eyes. A studded bag was the finishing touch.

Sonam Kapoor In Salvatore Ferregamo - Salvatore Ferregamo House Visit

Sonam Kapoor, who's currently in Florence, Italy (presumably to attend a few shows during Milan Fashion Week) visited the Ferregamo house, and got herself a custom made shoe.

For the event, Sonam wore a Salvatore Ferregamo Spring 2012 suit.  

Sonam does menswear-inspired clothing superbly, due to her overall confidence & height; this was just another example.  The rich purple, satin jacket and raspberry top look great on the Indian actress.

An elegant updo, a gold brooch and her custom Ferregamo sandals completed the look.

Celebs at Burberry Fall 2012 Show - London Fashion Week

Alexa Chung took in the Burberry Prorsum Fall 2012 show at LFW in a navy trench from the label that she paired with menswear-inspired separates; I like her side ponytail & fresh make-up.

Indian actress & fashionista Sonam Kapoor sat front row at the show.  She wore a dove grey, pleated dress, topping it with a Spring 2012 trench from the label.  Sonam completed the look with a neat hairstyle, large earrings and gorgeous heels. Loving her yellow nail colour!

Kate Bosworth left everyone behind in a Fall 2012 ensemble (the owl-print top & pencil skirt formed a major part of the collection). A  messy hairstyle, tan suede booties and a textured clutch completed her look.

Rosie Huntington Whiteley wore a light colour knit sweater top with maroon pants and donned a grey jacket to keep herself warm.  The brand's bag and heels were the finishing touches.

Sonam Kapoor In Dolce & Gabbana - Cosmopolitan Fun Fearless Awards

Sonam Kapoor wore a Dolce & Gabbana gown for the Cosmopolitan Fun Fearless Awards in Mumbai, where she won the award for the Best Dressed actress.

The strapless, berry coloured, silk-chiffon gown is adorned with multi-colour flowers which is pretty but makes her look front-heavy.

I like her styling though - glossy, curly locks,a hair-clip & red lips.

Sonam Kapoor In Halston - Club Liv Opening

Sonam Kapoor wore a Halston maxi dress for a club opening in Mumbai last night.

Sonam loves Halston and she wears the pink, pleated, one-shoulder dress quite well;  the gold accessories also work. 

However, this is hardly what one would wear to a club opening.  It's a look that's better suited to a resort event or a summer party.

I would have loved to see her in this fab DKNY Resort 2012 dress.  It fits her style bill perfectly:  classy but fun and who can say no to sequins?

Sonam Kapoor In Paule Ka - Standard Chartered Mumbai Event

Sonam Kapoor continues her affair with Paule Ka dresses.

Sonam Kapoor In Jean Paul Gaultier - 'Players' Dubai Premiere

Sonam Kapoor amped up the glam factor for the Dubai premiere of 'Players' in a white Jean Paul Gaultier Fall 2011 Couture dress.

I absolutely adore this off-shoulder dress with tassel detail and a signature cone bust on Sonam and it fits her perfectly .

She went jewelery-less, just putting her hair up in a braided style & finished the look off with sultry make-up.

Sonam Kapoor In Paule Ka - 'Players' Press

Sonam Kapoor has taken affinity to designer, Paule Ka, for the promotional tour of her upcoming movie 'Players'.

The actress first wore a purple frock with a statement gold necklace, side parted hair & red lips.

Then yesterday, it was a plain black sheath, spruced up with a sharp ponytail & gold baubles.

The nude pumps go with both dresses but I hope Sonam gets out of this rut.

Sonam Kapoor In Elie Saab - 'Players' Press

Sonam Kapoor is busy promoting her movie, 'Players'.

For an event in Delhi, the actress wore a beautiful dress from the Elie Saab Fall 2011 collection.

The scarlet hued dress had full-sleeves, a sculptural neckline & a plunging back.

Sonam wore it with a neat, side ponytail & nude pumps.

I wish she'd have more fun with her choice of footwear.

Sonam Kapoor In Victoria Beckham - 'Players' Press

Sonam Kapoor wore yet another design by Victoria Beckham for a promotional event in Pune for her upcoming movie called 'Players'.

The tangerine coloured shift was paired with an equally eye-catching turquoise neck piece (LOVE).

Sonam wears the look well as always, this time opting for gold Fendi sandals instead of the nude peeptoes.

Sonam Kapoor In Masaba Gupta

Sonam Kapoor wore a jacket by one her favourite designers - Masaba Gupta.

She wore the silk, hand-print jacket with cobalt blue accents with a light white blouse & black pants.

The hair is glossy, the chain-link necklace is great, as are those brogues but the make-up is too harsh for this day look.

Sonam Kapoor In Elie Saab - Marie Claire Fashion Awards

Sonam Kapoor attended the Marie Claire Fashion Awards in Mumbai, wearing an Elie Saab Spring 2011 gown.

The off-white, chiffon halter-neck gown also had cap sleeves and a plunging neckline.

Sonam looked statuesque in the floor-skimming dress, and added a braided updo, and Celine cuffs to finish off her look.

Sonam Kapoor In Victoria Beckham - UTV Stars Photoshoot

It was a Victoria Beckham dress for Sonam Kapoor for a photoshoot.

The figure-hugging sunny yellow dress had a boat-neck and white accents.

Sonam wore it with side-swept waves, diamond studs, a slight smokey-eye & nude Jimmy Choo peeptoes.

The dress is great on Sonam and really accentuates her curves, but I wish she'd worn some interesting heels instead of the predictable peeptoes.

Sonam Kapoor In Chanel - Chanel's Paris-Bombay Show

Sonam Kapoor made a surprising appearance at Chanel's Prefall show which was called the 'Paris-Bombay' show, because of the ethnic Indian inspiration.

Sonam took in the show at the Grand Palais in Paris, wearing a Chanel Spring 2012 dress.

The white frock with black lining and exaggerated sleeves was all frou-frou and dramatic enough without the statement necklace.

I wasn't a huge fan of the aging hairstyle either.  She wore tights, which makes sense but I like how the dress was presented on the runway.
