Sonam Kapoor's 9 yards of glory in Paris

Whatever Sonam Kapoor wears grabs as much headline with desi fashionistas as Lady Gaga does internationally. The young actress attended the Elie Saab couture show during Paris Fashion week on Wednesday followed by a private dinner with the designer.

Sonam lived up to her status of a fashion icon, looking picture perfect in her powder-pink net sari with an intricate white border. She teamed the Deepti Pruthi sari with a white halter blouse that had collar detailing. The stylista kept her accessories simple- pearl hoop earrings, a pearl ring and an elegant clutch.

Sonam glamourised the look with smoky eyes, hot pink lips and tied back hair in a bun.

If Frieda Pinto is India's answer to Hollywood then Sonam Kapoor may very well be India's answer to international fashion, with magazines such as The New York Times Style Magazine stating: "Elie Saab's haute couture show, presented in the Grand Palais to an audience of Bollywood stars (Sonam Kapoor, looking gorgeous in kohl- lined eyes and a pale pink jewelled sari), Oscar hopefuls (Berenice Bejo) and clients from all the global wealthy pockets" ensures that all eyes back home and abroad are firmly fixed on the young star.

Sonam completed her look with a peach Elie Saab long sleeved lace shrug that complimented her ensemble.

She is not the first actress to don an Elie Saab, even international icon Aishwarya Rai Bachchan chose to wear an Elie Saab dress with a similar shrug from the designers Spring 2011 collection when she attended the Prix de Diane Longines at Hippodrome de Chantilly in France in June last year, just before she announced her pregnancy.
