Sonam Kapoor to promote 'desi' brands at Cannes 2014 red carpet (view pics)

Flaunting international brands is actress Sonam Kapoor's everyday style statement -- but promoting 'desi' designers and Indian elements is the motto for the young and stylish diva whenever she makes an appearance at foreign venues.Set




During her past appearances at Cannes, Sonam has been one of the favourite Indian celebrities for the International media, thanks to her choice of clothes. Be it the white Jean Paul Gaultier couture she wore in 2011 or the Alexander McQueen black lacy gown in 2012, the actress received accolades for her look.

But the actress has never tried too hard to remain stylish.

“I try to dress up according to my size. One shouldn't follow trend and try to be something that you are not and this is what I have been telling to all the regular girls. I have regular kind of body for instance I have got big hips and I have Punjabi arms so I need to dress-up according to my body.”

“I remember a couple of years back, I did an interview and they asked whether I will wear a swim suit or bikini... so my answer was 'why not, of course, I will wear it as a real girl'. In one of my latest films where I wore a bikini, I didn't try to become like really skinny and then go for a swimsuit. I wanted to be like a regular girl.

“As soon as you embrace your body the way it is, you will look beautiful. It will be harder in the beginning but eventually they will accept you,” she said.
