Bollywood fashion icon Sonam Kapoor Ahuja turned heads as she stepped out in a striking ensemble by designer Gaurav Gupta. The look featured a bold metallic gold breastplate and a dramatic black tulle tutu; it is Gupta’s new signature sculptural design.
The tutu, a silhouette rooted in 19th-century ballet, was a unique choice for Gupta, known for his structured, form-fitting gowns. This outfit comes from his recent couture collection, ‘Across the Flame’, which explores themes of trauma, grief, resilience, and hope, inspired by a personal life-altering experience.
Adding to the statement look, Kapoor Ahuja accessorized with an artistic ear cuff inspired by the trompe l’oeil technique – French for “trick the eye” – a style made famous by Schiaparelli’s surreal jewel designs. The cuff sat elegantly over her helix, perfectly complementing her classic solitaire earrings.
With this breathtaking ensemble, Sonam Kapoor Ahuja once again proved why she is one of India’s most celebrated fashion icons, seamlessly blending tradition, artistry, and modern couture in one unforgettable look.
