She has effortlessly showcased the finest ensembles, from Anamika Khanna's intricately embroidered lehengas to Dolce & Gabbana's gowns, cementing her status as a fashion icon. Kapoor was named Face of the Year in 2011 and received nominations for 'Beauty of the Year' by Vogue and 'Woman of the Year' by GQ in 2013. In addition to her fashion presence, Sonam is known for her outspoken views on women's rights, LGBTQIA+ support, and mental health advocacy.

Each of their collections presents a truly unique vision with intricate craftsmanship, celebrating heritage in a way that deeply resonates with my own sense of style." She added that this partnership further deepens the cultural synergy between Dior and India, expressing excitement for the future. Sonam also attended the Dior show at Paris Fashion Week last month, where she was the only Indian celebrity present.
