Be it ethnic or western attires, there's no base that Sonam Kapoor Ahuja has not touched upon, to not be known as a style icon. Over the years, she has served a plethora of ethnic styles, but what made her stand out in a trend that has been there for eons - the unique saree draping techniques she mastered.


Giving a contemporary twist to a saree, she has served with a myriad of blouse designs, to begin with. When in the mood for an Indo-western look, she has paired a solid-coloured red saree with something as generic as a matching red shirt, however, she made sure that it looked modern and chic. On days she wanted to channel a vintage vibe, she went for a gorgeous cream saree but added the twist of a blouse featuring flouncy mutton sleeves. Cannes was her very own playground where she made a goddess-like appearance in an ivory saree and a long floor-sweeping cape to layer it that featured exquisite gold threadwork. Pretty blue pastels and pink sarees with cut-out blouses and lacy fabrics have been a top favourite in her wardrobe as well.


She might as well be hailed as one of the few actresses who have aced the double-drape look. Carrying it off effortlessly and making a statement every step of the way. She was also clicked playing with structures and silhouettes as she went for a rather edgy look in a black and blue sculpted saree a few years back making heads turn with how saree styles can also be experimented with.


Pleated capes and embroidered jackets - she's done it both. Keep it modern but with a traditional touch to it. While the colour hues ranged from pastels to blacks, ivory to prints, beiges to even denim fabrics. She sported a pant-saree look when people were still being made aware of it, and she made it easy and effortless in equal measures. Fringes and ruffles, risque-inducing blouse designs, and glam exuding drapes became a constant in her wardrobe as she made women fall in love with the elegance that only comes with a craftily draped saree.


While her OTT western looks are always on point, her choice of sarees is also a favourite in the eye of fashion critics. Not only because they are unconventional, but because it is a bold move toward Indian fashion that only Sonam could bring forth into the limelight.


Her latest ivory draped saree from an ace designer has become the most fashionable maternity look ever. Posing for a photoshoot that looked right out of a vintage Indian historical portrait - Sonam was a vision to behold in the ivory drapes complemented with statement golden temple jewels.
