Ever
since
Sonam
Kapoor
made
her
Bollywood
debut
in
2007,
she’s
achieved
a
fair
amount
of
success
and
worked
with
the
cream
of
film-makers.
But
it’s
her
dazzling
fashion
and
gorgeously
put-together
movie
avatars
that
added
to
her
star
power.
On
her
40th
birthday
on
June
9,
Sukanya
Verma
remembers
the
10
times
she
wowed
on
screen
with
her
super
stylish
appearances.
Saawariya
Playing
the
quintessential
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali
heroine
in
her
first
film
itself,
Sonam
let
her
ethereal
face
and
exquisite
ethnic
wardrobe
do
the
talking.
Although
Saawariya
bombed,
it
made
instant
stars
out
of
Anil
and
Sunita
Kapoor’s
daughter
and
Rishi
and
Neetu
Kapoor’s
son
Ranbir.
Aisha
Aisha
fumbles
in
adapting
the
whimsy
of
Jane
Austen’s
Emma
but
Sonam’s
designer
allure
ensured
its
place
in
history.
As
the
poor
little
rich
girl,
the
actress
is
a
picture
of
upscale
va
va
voom
rocking
one
chic
vibe
after
another
years
before
Call
Me
Bae
would
call
dibs
on
haute
couture
monopoly.
Delhi
6
Beaming
with
luminous
innocence
and
carefree
ardour,
the
Masakali
woman’s
closeup
friendly
perfection
makes
her
the
most
attractive
inhabitant
of
Delhi
6.
I
Hate
Luv
Storys
From
girl-next-door
working
behind-the-scenes
of
a
movie
production
to
having
her
own
dream
girl
moment
straight
out
of
a
Bollywood
fantasy,
Sonam
proves
she
can
go
from
sweet
to
steamy
within
seconds
in
the
2010s
rom-com.
Raanjhanaa
From
a
demure
small
town
girl
rebelling
in
love
to
a
young
independent
woman
engaged
in
active
student
politics,
Sonam’s
bittersweet
romantic
experiences
in
Aanand
L
Rai’s
drama
ensue
in
much
darkness.
There’s
little
doubt
on
how
lovely
she
looks
through
it
all,
especially
as
the
kohl-eyed,
silver
trinkets
loving,
shawl-draped
campus
campaigner.
Mausam
Whether
it’s
sporting
simplicity
at
its
most
disarming
or
old
school
glamour,
Sonam
paints
quite
a
stunning
picture
on
screen.
Mausam‘s
a
yawn
but
the
actress
looks
fresh
as
a
daisy
in
every
single
frame.
Prem
Ratan
Dhan
Payo
Sonam
effortlessly
slips
into
the
image
of
a
resplendent
royal
in
vintage
fineries
and
ornate
wonders
to
up
the
lavish
quotient
of
Sooraj
R
Barjatya’s
Prem
Ratan
Dhan
Payo.
Khoobsurat
In
this
jazzed
up
reboot
of
Hrishikesh
Mukerji’s
Khubsoorat,
it’s
natty
trends
over
nirmal
anand
as
Sonam
curates
a
mix
of
quirky
and
edgy
in
her
wardrobe
to
play
a
ditzy
physiotherapist.
Dolly
Di
Doli
As
the
con-woman
posing
as
a
bride
of
her
various
victims,
Sonam
lets
her
love
for
dress
up
do
all
the
talking
whilst
donning
gorgeous
trousseau
pieces
from
all
cultures
and
communities.
Veere
Di
Wedding
Whatever
one
may
feel
about
her
shrill
performance
in
the
girl
bonding
drivel,
Veere
Di
Wedding
scores
big
on
all
the
cosmetic
fronts.
Sonam’s
stylish
streak
has
a
ball
letting
her
hair
down
and
playing
pretty
in
a
confection
that
favours
gloss
over
guts.
