Sonam Kapoor Gives Barbie-Core in Princess Diana Outfit 

Currently in the UAE for work, the actor made her pregnancy announcement at an event by Audemars Piguet, a luxury watch brand. For the event, Sonam was styled by her sister, stylist Rhea Kapoor. Sonam channelled the late Princess Diana, who some might call the ‘original Mother’, for this event. She wore a Barbie-pink suit, designed by fashion designer Margaretha Ley in 1988 for the co-founder

of the German fashion house Escada. The tailored skirt suit is a reflection of the age of ‘power dressing’ that was popular in the late 1980s and early 1990s

This vintage ensemble comes with a storied past, as it is strikingly similar to the outfit worn by the late Princess in at least four public appearances between 1988 and 1990. The pure wool suit features oversized padded shoulders, large black buttons, and a black pocket square peeking out.

Sonam, who will soon be seen on the big screen in Battle for Bittora, an adaptation of Anuja Chauhan’s novel, styled this power look with sheer black stockings and YSL black pointed-toe kitten heels. She wore a pair of large black sunglasses.

In August this year, Sonam had penned a heartfelt birthday note as Vayu turned three. “Happy Birthday my baby boy. May you always be this curious, kind, thoughtful and sweet. I hope you are always surrounded by so much love, music and happiness. Mama loves you to the moon and back and again,” she wrote.
