For Karva Chauth, Sonam Kapoor reimagined festive dressing through the lens of traditional couture, wearing a creation from Ekaya Banaras’s upcoming collection. The ensemble, handwoven in the kadhwa banarasi technique and crafted from satin silk, styled with a cheongsam-inspired blouse, celebrated the label’s philosophy of bridging India’s rich handwoven heritage with a contemporary design language.
Her look featured a sari styled as an off-shoulder drape, cinched and knotted just below the bust. The red-and-orange palette, detailed with gold floral motifs, paid homage to the festive spirit while remaining unmistakably graceful.

Kapoor accessorised with jewels from her own and her mother’s collections: traditional kundan bracelets and chandbalis that echoed the timelessness of the garment. Her bag by Tribe by Amrapali added a hint of antiquity, while her Studded Spice juttis by Fizzy Goblet, handcrafted in India with oxidised silver and brown beads over aari jaali work, brought an artisanal finish.
Her hair was swept back into a sleek bun, allowing the dramatic neckline to take focus, while her makeup—a soft metallic eye, defined brows and rose-tinted lips—brought a radiant minimalism to the otherwise regal aesthetic.
