Sonam charms Cannes red carpet with her distinct and elegant look

Sonam Kapoor showed off another iconic look from her Cannes fashion diaries as the actress slayed the gala's red carpet in a striking Elie Saab ensemble.

This is 31-year-old actress' seventh year at the French Riveria movie carnival and she made sure that her outfit stood out from the rest.


The diva appeared coruscating in the exquisite pink gown with a long train and bell sleeves. Teaming it with custom made rose gold jewellery from Kalyan Jewelers and hair tied in a loose bun, Sonam carried the look with a lot of panache.

She accentuated her eyes with La Palette Nude eyeshadow in gold and True Match Lumi Power in rose, finishing it with superliner black lacquer and dollops of superstar mascara.

Sonam, who walked the red carpet as L'Oreal Paris India brand ambassador, posed with actresses Andie MacDowell and Araya A Hargate at the event.

The actress also took to Instagram to share her red carpet look from the festival.

"I know who I am. I am not perfect. I'm not the most beautiful woman in the world. But I'm one of them. Mary J. Blige #sonamatcannes #sonamatcannes #kalyanjewellery," she wrote alongside one of the photos.

For her day appearances on Monday, the actress opted for two opposite looks.

She first flaunted a mustard and red outfit by Anamika Khanna and Apala by Sumit. She added a bohemian touch to her look by sporting a red headband and chunky jewellery.

Sonam then went breezy with a white and aqua blue kaftan gown by Indian designer duo Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla.

For her first appearance at the festival this year, the actress had impressed with her unicorn coloured sari.
