When it comes to high fashion, Sonam Kapoor wins; always. As the first South Asian global ambassador for Christian Dior, the Bollywood actor attended the French luxury house’s show at the ongoing Paris Couture Week in a black mesh ensemble from their Spring/ Summer 2025 collection, pairing it with a maximalist faux fur coat from the Resort 2025 collection.
At Dior's Paris Haute Couture show during the ongoing Paris Couture Week, Bollywood actress Sonam Kapoor captivated attendees with her distinctive style, particularly highlighting a bespoke black gajra (kaala gajra) adorning her neatly pulled-back bun.
This unique hair accessory was crafted by Diaries of Nomad, led by designer Harshita Gautam. The creation process involved ten artisans over four days, resulting in approximately 350 handcrafted pieces. These pieces were made using shankis (shells) covered with handwoven chanderi fabric, strung together on a silk rope (dhuri) and connected with motis (pearls).
Sonam's ensemble featured a black mesh outfit from Dior's Spring/Summer 2025 collection, complemented by a faux fur coat from the Resort 2025 collection. Her makeup included pops of pink on her lips and cheeks, a smokey eye, and sharp contouring. She accessorized with pearl chain earrings and statement ear cuffs, with the black gajra adding a dramatic flair to her overall appearance.
The collaboration between Sonam Kapoor and Diaries of Nomad underscores a fusion of traditional Indian craftsmanship with contemporary fashion, bringing cultural elements to an international platform like Paris Couture Week.
