It looks like it was shot around the same time as her cover for Elle India, because it's the same hair and makeup

Apparently she's attending the London Film Festival next week and then going into hiding before Dilli 6 promotions start

She looks amazing in that ad!
When will Dilli 6 finally premiere?

Promo's start in December and the film should finally be out in January.

Sonam is the face of Elle's Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign

Sonam is the face of Elle's Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign

Sonam Kapoor not only has a gorgeous face she also has a beautiful heart. She has been named the face of Elle's Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign. Sonam said, "One of my friend's mother had breast cancer and I have seen what she has gone through. Few women after menopause, tend to get susceptible to breast cancer and it is very important for them to be aware of the issue in order to cure it. As a face of Elle in this campaign I will use my celebrity status to tell women to be progressive and not regressive."

A press release from the company said, "The Estee Lauder Companies' 2008 Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign, "World Pink. World Without Breast Cancer. Wear a Pink Ribbon. Make a Difference." encapsulates the spirit of bringing people together from all walks of life to find a cure for breast cancer. Fifteen of The Estee Lauder Companies' highly sought-after brands will sell Pink Ribbon products to raise money for The Breast Cancer Research Foundation. This October, the BCA Campaign will be present in over 65 countries and will unite around a common goal: to reach every corner of the world with the message about the importance of early detection and to raise significant funds for research in order to attain a world without breast cancer in the not too distant future."

Speaking of that gorgeous face, Sonam is seen looking extremely hot in this exclusive first look of the shoot by Atul Kasbekar for the campaign.

We applaud Sonam for being part of this initiative!

Is Ranbir Kapoor responsible for Sonam Kapoor not doing the Yash Raj film?

Director Shimit Amin was keen to cast the “Saawariya” stars for Yash Raj's next project. Ranbir was inked first and then Sonam was to be signed.

However, Sonam started having second thoughts about the film and ultimately refused to do it.

It can be recalled that all was well between Ranbir and Sonam till Deepika entered Ranbir's life. Post that, Sonam and Ranbir even stopped talking.

They recently patched up, but Sonam reportedly is still not comfortable shooting with Ranbir and hence she refused the project.

If this is true, then this sucks! I would've loved to see her in another movie with Ranbir.

 

[indian_rose]

Hhhmm both Sonam and Ranbir have said in the past that they will do more films together, but they will only sign something that they feel is right for them....im sick of the media trying to make out as if Sonam is scared of Deepika or something.

I think they will sign something in the future, guess we will just have to wait and watch!

She’s Got the Look

Despite a slow beginning, actor Sonam Kapoor is well on her way to becoming a style icon

At the Elle Breast Cancer Awareness do in Mumbai a fortnight ago, actor Sonam Kapoor made an appearance in an abbreviated baby pink Christian Dior gown, looking every bit the prima donna she’s aiming to become. Cut to Kunal Rawal’s show at the Lakme Fashion Week and the bubbly actor turned up in a chic purple houndstooth dress by Marc Jacobs, her hair permed ever so slightly to add a carelessly stylish touch. Ever since her debut last year, the 5’ 9” beauty has featured on almost all the covers of leading fashion magazines, walked the ramp for designers like Tarun Tahiliani and Anamika Khanna (for whom she is now the brand ambassador), and has been impeccably turned out in Lanvin and Stella Mc Cartney for significant social outings.

While industry insiders are betting on Kapoor to be the next trendsetter in Bollywood, those who know the actor well are hardly surprised. Designer Anuradha Vakil, for instance, still cannot get over her first meeting with the actor during the making of Saawariya. “She would listen to me attentively and then ask such technically sound questions about cuts, silhouettes and drapes, that I was quite floored,” says the Ahmedabad-based designer, who had done the costumes for the movie, and has been designing for Kapoor’s personal wardrobe ever since.

Kapoor believes her mother has a lot to do with her sense of style. “When we were kids, mom (Sunita Kapoor) used to be a full-fledged designer, supplying to stores like Glitterati and Ensemble in Mumbai. I would watch models like Nayonika and Aishwarya, before she became Miss World, come in for fittings and discuss outfits and international designers. I saw the kaarigars at their embroidery stations for hours
together. I think that’s how my interest in garments grew,” she says from London, where she is currently on a vacation.

Stylist Anaita Shroff Adajania says that Kapoor has developed a distinct fashion sensibility for herself. “I won’t call her a style icon yet, but she has an individual flair and she wears her clothes with confidence,” says Adajania. Vakil adds that Kapoor’s dedication to fitness helps. “Sonam has a phenomenal body, so she looks good in almost anything,” she says. Designers like Tahiliani talk of how the actor’s innocence works to her advantage. “Sonam has freshness and spontaneity that’s refreshing, a flawless dusky skin, long black hair and the most endearing giggle. She’s very conscious of being curvaceous. Once she starts celebrating that, she will be way ahead of the curve,” he says.

It’s a concern, that Kapoor admits, plagues her. “I would be lying if I said I am naturally thin. I work really hard on my body, but I feel I am too curvaceous. So I am careful to dress in a way that leaves something to imagination, rather than accentuating my assets. That’s not my style at all,” she says. India’s answer to Brigette Bardot, perhaps?

Bollywood's most stylish hotties

To quote celebrated designer Yves Saint Laurent, Fashion fades, style is eternal. Show business is a trade of breathtaking glamour and overwhelming glitz; where looking good is a 24/7 requisite. Our stars know this more than anyone else.

Whether they are walking down the red carpet, promoting their million-dollar movies, attending a charitable cause, waiting to board a flight or window-shopping in Oxford Street, you'll almost always find them in a spic and span state.
Call it price of stardom or image consciousness, Bollywood loves fashion. But sporting trendy designer labels alone do not make an individual stylish. Style, as the late YSL rightly put, is eternal. And need we add, internal too. With this thought, rediff.com presents Bollywood's Top Ten fashionable stunners and hunks.

Sonam Kapoor
We dig her hair. We dig her smile. But most of all we love her off-beat sense of fashion. Whether it's the way she sets her tresses or does complete justice to wacky outfits, Anil Kapoor's vintage fashion-obsessed beti is a complete original.

^ I love that ad that she's standing in front of. What event was this for?

 

[indian_rose]

It was the Elle Breast Cancer Awareness Event...and the ad (i think theres a full pic a page or so back) is because she is the face of the campaign in India. Very similar to her Elle cover a few months ago
