Bollywood actress and global fashion icon Sonam Kapoor Ahuja turned heads at the Serpentine Gallery Summer Party in London. Held at the beautiful Kensington Gardens, this star-studded event saw Sonam wearing a stunning gold outfit by Dior that was inspired by the traditional Japanese kimono.
A Kimono Touch with a Dior Twist
Sonam Kapoor’s outfit was part of Dior’s latest collection, designed by the brand’s creative director, Maria Grazia Chiuri. The collection blends classic French tailoring with Japanese kimono influences. Her gold jacket kept the robe-like shape of a kimono, with wide sleeves and a loose fit. The design was inspired by origami—the Japanese art of paper folding—and featured sharp, structured lines.
What really made the outfit stand out was the luxurious gold fabric, decorated with delicate plant patterns and cherry blossoms (or sakura) in red and green shades. This floral theme paid tribute to Christian Dior’s love for gardens and nature. A black zipper around the waist added a modern, unexpected edge to the traditional-inspired look.
Styling It Her Way
Sonam styled the elegant jacket with fitted black leather pants that added a sleek contrast to the flowing top. She chose simple black Dior ballet flats for comfort and style and carried a classic Lady Dior handbag to complete the ensemble.
For accessories, she went with delicate diamond and yellow gold earrings by London-based designer Jessica McCormack, which added just the right touch of sparkle. Her hair was left loose, straight, and parted in the middle, keeping the overall look clean and polished. Her makeup was soft but glam: well-defined brows, smoky eyes, and a nude-pink lipstick to pull it all together.
Sonam Kapoor’s Stylish Dior Moments
This isn’t the first time Sonam has wowed in a Dior outfit recently. In Kyoto, Japan, where she was attending a Dior event as the brand’s global ambassador, she wore another elegant all-Dior look. That outfit included a high-neck belted jacket, a crisp white button-down shirt, and a black pencil skirt. To contrast the dark tones, she carried a white Lady Dior bag that added freshness to the look.
Earlier this year, Sonam was also seen at the Dior Fall/Winter 2024 show during Paris Fashion Week. There, she wore a sculpted black corset top paired with a flared skirt. Over it, she layered a tailored black trench coat, beautifully decorated with small floral embroidery from Dior’s Cruise 2025 collection. As always, she made a bold yet graceful statement.
A Fashion Icon, Effortlessly Elegant
Whether in London, Kyoto, or Paris, Sonam Kapoor Ahuja continues to impress with her fashion choices. Her ability to mix tradition with modern elements, and her love for detail and elegance, make her one of the most stylish celebrities on the global stage.
