Sonam Kapoor's metamorphosis as a fashion diva came full circle on Saturday night at the Filmfare awards. She became the only Bollywood actress to wear a specially-designed gown by Chanel.
Feel like Cinderella
The ebullient actress could barely contain her excitement. "I just kept staring at the beautiful, basic but simple white gown they sent me.
Yes, I think I'm the first Indian celebrity to be dressed by Chanel in Bollywood. I'm so excited. I felt like Cinderella before the ball. Never before have I been so excited about dressing up for an event."
Apparently, after seeing Sonam's spate of sophisticated magazine covers, Chanel voluntarily decided to send her a gown from their special-celebrity closet.
"That's right. My off-shoulder gown came from their special-celebrity collection," laughs Sonam triumphantly. "They just flew over three Chanel gowns for me to choose from.
I liked the white one. I prefer light shades. And I avoid accessories. They take away from the basic look of your clothes.
And what Chanel sent me for the Filmfare awards certainly needed no enchancement. It was divine, per se."
A lot of designers are comparing Sonam to Penelope Cruz. "It was Sanjay Leela Bhansali who first compared me to her. I think it's a huge compliment.
It isn't as if I'm making a conscious effort to dress fashionably. I wear what I'm comfortable in."
Sonam loves dressing up in light shades and avoids accessories.
