Sonam Kapoor Ahuja continues to captivate with her consistently stunning fashion choices. Following a series of show-stopping appearances, including her exquisite Rohit Bal ensemble for Diwali and a vibrant tie-dye creation by Bloni Atelier, she’s further cemented her status as a style icon, recently being named the face of Dior.
This past weekend, Kapoor Ahuja took her fashion game to new heights, gracing an event in a breathtaking emerald green silk gown designed by the incredibly talented London-based Korean designer, Sohee Park. The gown, a masterpiece of semi-couture, is a testament to Park’s unique design philosophy: extravagant yet understated. The dress itself features a subtly boned corset that holds the flowing silk in place without feeling restrictive. A gracefully scooped neckline and a dramatic train complete the elegant silhouette, evoking the regal air of a duchess.
The sumptuous fabric and rich emerald hue perfectly showcase Sohee Park’s signature style. A quick look at her Instagram reveals a penchant for vibrant, reflective fabrics, dramatic ruffles, exaggerated silhouettes, and nature-inspired embroidery – all elements that clearly influenced this stunning creation for Kapoor Ahuja. The actress herself enhanced the whimsical and ethereal quality of the gown with her naturally flowing hair and subtly smoky brown eyes.
Kapoor Ahuja chose to accessorize the look with a single, yet powerful statement piece: a Victorian-era inspired cross pendant encrusted with Ethiopian emeralds. This minimalist approach allowed the gown to truly take center stage. However, Vogue India’s Fashion Associate, Manglien Gangte, offers some insightful styling suggestions for those seeking to experiment with similar looks. Gangte suggests swapping the green cross necklace for contrasting diamond or emerald earrings to achieve a more balanced aesthetic. A statement bracelet or a stack of rings could add further dimension, and a metallic strappy sandal in gold or silver would provide a striking contrast and depth to the outfit, rather than blending into the existing color palette.
Sohee Park’s designs represent a fascinating intersection of high fashion and wearable art. Her focus on semi-couture allows her to create pieces that are both breathtakingly beautiful and surprisingly accessible, in terms of their elegance and the way they can be styled. Sonam Kapoor Ahuja’s recent appearance highlights the versatility and allure of Park’s creations, further solidifying both the designer and the actress’s position at the forefront of the global fashion scene. The look is a reminder that sometimes, less truly is more, and that a single statement piece can elevate an already exquisite design to legendary status.
