The ensemble was meticulously styled by Sonam’s sister and frequent collaborator, Rhea Kapoor.
- The Outfit: Sonam wore a stunning black and gold Banarasi saree handwoven by the artisans of Swadesh.
- Design Details: The saree featured bold borders, adorned with intricate beige-gold and silver Zardozi work, elevating the classic textile into a statement piece. The designers, Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla, described the ensemble as a “maximal wonder in black and gold” and “yet another expression of their golden imagination.”

Following the Bold Pregnancy Announcement
Sonam’s debut of her baby bump in the black saree follows her viral and equally fashionable pregnancy announcement.
She had previously confirmed her second pregnancy with a bold look featuring a hot pink skirt suit. The outfit consisted of a vintage hot pink blazer and a matching skirt, intentionally echoing one of the favorite looks of Princess Diana. Sonam captioned the announcement post simply: “MOTHER,” followed by a kiss emoji.
Sonam and her husband, Anand Ahuja, welcomed their first child, Vayu, a son, in 2022. The actor continues to use her personal milestones to make powerful and memorable fashion statements.
