Sonam adorns the cover of Elle

Now, even international fashion blogs are following our very own fashion forward Sonam Kapoor.

The actress may play the girl next door in her movies mostly turning up in ordinary desi attires, but when she is not facing the camera, Sonam is a surefire fashionista in sexy and fun outfits.

The fashion glossy Elle has got splendid numbers from the season's best couture by Indian designers, and who else than Sonam Kapoor to wear them for their shoot.

Much to our awe, the actress looks every bit sensuous and resplendent in the photos, posing against the backdrop of a scenic city like Istanbul which exudes the old world charm.

For the cover, Sonam has worn an Amit Aggarwal couture gown, while the rest of the shoot has her in dresses by Tarun Tahiliani, Sabyasachi Mukherjee, Manav Gangwani, Shantanu Nikhil and even her favourite Anamika Khanna.

The fashion buffs can even notice some interesting accessories like ears cuffs and head gear on Sonam. The actress not only follows fashion but understands it too.

Though the shoot has her in awesome attires, the actress has styled each look differently, paying a lot of attention to make up, hairdo and accessories. And the result has us bowled over.

The magazine writes, Sonam Kapoor looks every bit like Bollywood royalty as she takes in the inimitable splendour of Istanbul in our October issue.

Here is Sonam Kapoor sizzling in sensational couture on Elle.
