While we wait to see what the stunning actress will opt for on Sunday, here’s looking back at Sonakshi acing the style game in many shades of red.
Lehenga Set by Payal Singhal
During the promotions of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s magnum opus series, Heeramandi, Sonakshi Sinha was styled in a magnificent dark red lehenga set designed by Payal Singhal. The dupion silk bagh embroidered choli and lehenga was paired with a mukaish organza dupatta. Sonakshi exuded royalty with a timeless allure in this traditional ensemble.
Couture Gown by Ohaila Khan
Sonakshi Sinha looked ravishing when she stepped out in an exclusive art deco couture gown designed by Ohaila Khan. Fitting her like a glove, the opulent gown featured 20,000 pieces of crystals. The embroidery on the shimmery, sparkling red gown took 1000 hours to create. Glamorously chic, the ensemble was further enhanced with feather detailing on the sleeves. Dramatic in red is what describes this extravagant piece of art.
Choga Set by Punit Balana
Simple and elegant just like Sonakshi’s aura, the surkh laal choga set is the perfect look this wedding season. Designed by Punit Balana, this classic ensemble features a bell-sleeved choga (kurta), a delicate dupatta and matching pants. The kurta is adorned with exquisite applique patra work. Looking fresh as a rose, Sonakshi complements this ensemble with her enchanting smile.
Cape and Sharara Set by Arpita Mehta
Sonakshi is one star who has experimented with many contemporary Indian silhouettes. Minimal yet captivating, this Arpita Mehta ensemble is a true winner. The stylish, easy-breezy red cape paired with classic sharara pants, makes for a fun festive look.
Saree by Anamika Khanna
There’s nothing more magical than a saree in the magical shade of red. Sonakshi looked a dream in Anamika Khanna’s contemporary draped red saree. The rich texture of the embroidery, the chic styling of the saree drape, the sexy bralette and the ivory cape accentuated Sonakshi’s style quotient.
