Sonam Kapoor looked resplendent as a newlywed bride on the Cannes 2018 red carpet as thousands of cameras clicked in approval of her choice of outfit. Interestingly, for this particular look British fashion designers, Ralph & Russo created their first ever lehenga for Sonam. With light henna, diamond drop earrings and her hair braided, Sonam looked like a dream as she posed as Mrs. Sonam K Ahuja for the first ever time at the Cannes red carpet.

Sonam’s first ever Cannes appearance back in 2011, may have disappointed many since she didn’t choose an Indian designer. But, it definitely made heads turn and take notice of an emerging fashionista. Opting for a Jean Paul Gaultier couture gown, Amrapali ring and a big smile, she completed her look with Chopard earrings and Ferragamo shoes. We absolutely loved the sheer delicacy of the fabric and the way it just fell perfectly on Sonam’s petite frame.

4. The Futuristic Saree

Who better than Sonam to do justice to this dramatic Rimzim Dadu saree she wore at Cannes 2016. The metallic blue pallu almost looks like the sky and sea came together to fabricate an unreal creation. Interestingly, the same pallu was created by using hair-thin molten metal yarn exemplifying fashion as art. While the dramatic saree did the talking, Sonam paired it with statement jewels from Suhani Pittie and finished her look with a neatly tied-up bun, blue liner and a pink pout.

5. The Elaborate Nude Gown

Dressed in a stunning tulle gown by Vera Wang, Sonam channelizes her inner princess and looks nothing less than a fairytale. The elaborate trail with cream and yellow detailing was fitted with a strapless bodice. Setting major beauty goals, Sonam chose the unconventional gen-z yellow and sparkle eye-shadow, oodles of mascara, on-fleek highlighter and glossy lips. The look was complete with Chopard earrings and that million dollar smile!
