Sonam Kapoor celebrated Diwali in London with her family in a custom-designed angrakha anarkali kurta set from designer Anavila Misra’s namesake label. Known to add a contemporary edge to an otherwise Indian silhouette, Kapoor’s look felt modern because of the layering and the minimal embroidery details on her outfit, especially on Diwali, when most people veer towards ornate looks. Her white look featured pinkc-coloured, handblocked roses and vines, embellished with sequins and thread embroidery. She finished the look with a matching dupatta khadi silk dupatta, draped over her shoulders like a cape.

She accessorised with jewellery from her mother Sunita Kapoor’s collection. The white look with accents of pink was elevated with her multi-strand, pearl-embellished rani haar featuring showstopping centrepieces set with emeralds and kundan. She completed the look with a pair of chandelier earrings and several statement rings.
The ornamental potli by Motifs by Surabhi Didwania was a reimagined take on the classic. It had a square bottom in gold with antique-finish detailing, topped with a classic potli in pink that tied in perfectly with the blush in her outfit. Her juttis by Fizzy Goblet stayed in a muted palette of gold and white.
Her hair, by Miffy Does Hair, was pinned back in a half-up style with pink and white flowers, while makeup artist Maria Asadi kept things all pink: lots of blush, a pink lip and little to no eyeshadow. It was a soft, romantic look, a mainstay in Kapoor’s HMU routine, who believes in keeping it clean and understated. As per Diwali customs, she also applied henna on her hands for festive season appeal.
