Bollywood actress and style icon Sonam Kapoor recently made a show-stopping pregnancy announcement, and true to her fashion-forward persona, she did it in a way that had the fashion world talking. The actor, currently in the UAE for work, revealed her second pregnancy at an event hosted by luxury watch brand Audemars Piguet, dressed in a Barbie-pink vintage suit that could easily be mistaken for a modern masterpiece. Styled by her sister and stylist Rhea Kapoor, Sonam’s ensemble paid homage to none other than the late Princess Diana, who herself was celebrated for her impeccable sense of style and iconic power dressing.
The suit, designed by Margaretha Ley in 1988 for the German fashion house Escada, is a tailored skirt suit in pure wool, featuring oversized padded shoulders, large black buttons, and a black pocket square. Its silhouette and detailing mirror the elegance and authority that Princess Diana carried in public appearances between 1988 and 1990. Sonam completed the look with sheer black stockings and YSL black pointed-toe kitten heels, while accessorizing with a black Escada clutch with gold hardware and minimal gold jewelry, including thick hooped earrings and gold rings on both hands. Oversized black sunglasses added a modern edge, proving that vintage fashion can feel contemporary and bold when styled thoughtfully.
The actor’s Instagram post announcing her pregnancy was met with adoration from fans and celebrities alike. Her husband, Anand Ahuja, affectionately commented “double trouble” and “Baby ma.. also chicccccc mama!” while her mother, Sunita Kapoor, and friends from the industry showered love in the comments. This chic and deliberate fashion choice underscores Sonam’s position as a trendsetter, blending timeless fashion with personal milestones.
Sonam Kapoor, who previously welcomed son Vayu in 2022, continues to inspire with her sartorial choices, demonstrating that pregnancy style can be both glamorous and empowered. With this Princess Diana–inspired announcement, Sonam has reinforced her reputation as one of Bollywood’s most fearless and influential fashion icons.
