Sonam Kapoor takes her A-game to Cannes, reveals her secret

Sonam Kapoor is all set to make her Cannes red carpet appearance and she has a secret behind making them work. She reveals it all.

Sonam Kapoor impressed many when she flaunted an overwhelming nose ring at Cannes, and received brickbats for a lime green frou frou Elie Saab gown on the famous red carpet. But actress Sonam Kapoor, who is set to walk there again this year, says she doesn’t think about the feedback and concentrates on following the mantra, ‘Be yourself’.

From the overwhelming nose ring to going bold, Sonam Kapoor has been a style diva on Cannes red carpet.

“As opposed to what people would assume, I don’t really think about it at all. There is no pressure on me... I don’t take myself too seriously,” Sonam said in an interview. “I’ve always felt great in everything I’ve worn and it has always appealed to my sensibilities.”

The Neerja star also shared a tip to bring the best at the carpet. “The best way to bring your A-game on the red carpet is to be yourself,” Sonam said.

Known for creating chic fashion statements often with saris, gowns, dresses or even with casuals, the L’Oreal Paris brand ambassador will take to the 69th Cannes Film Festival red carpet on Sunday and Monday, as well as attend the amfAR gala -- a charity event -- there.

Asked to comment on how film festivals as big as Cannes see mostly women from Bollywood, Sonam said: “It is something to be proud about. Our films too are making a big splash at the festival and I’m happy to represent the country in whatever capacity I can.”

The Khoobsurat star is associated with the Cannes Film Festival for the sixth time and she says she looks forward to the experience. “It feels wonderful. I always look forward to the experience. L’Oreal is the best host,” she added.

On the work front, Sonam will next be seen in her home production, Veerey Di Wedding. At Cannes, actress Mallika Sherawat has already walked the red carpet for her film Time Raider. On Friday, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan owned the red carpet in a beautiful gold gown.
