While Vidya Balan continues to look traditional and adorns a nose ring, Sonam Kapoor made a statement in her Dolce and Gabana gown
Our Indian representatives at Cannes are turning heads. But for all wrong reasons. While Vidya Balan seemed hell-bent on not making a skin show in her neck-raised, full sleeved blouses, Sonam Kapoor struggled with her image as an Indian fashion diva. After Anamika Khanna’s sari, she wore a Dolce and Gabbana gown, inspired by Hollywood fashion of the 50s.
The design bore a strong resemblance to what Nicole Kidman wore.
latest shots from the 66th Cannes Festival reveal that Indian actresses’ fascination with the nose ring is more evident. After Sonam Kapoor, it was Vidya’s turn to adorn one.
We wonder if there is a secret common stylist working on both for Cannes!
Actors Claire Julien and Emma Watson, who appeared at the screening of Young & Beautiful, flaunted their long, trailing gowns.
