No, Sonam Kapoor is not just having her Barbie moment; the mother of one (soon to be two!) announced her second pregnancy via Instagram, and her ensemble of choice hinted at her love for vintage and archival pieces. To share the happy news with the world, the actor slipped into a hot pink Escada suit, designed by British designer Margaretha Ley back in 1988, and one that carries a distinct legacy – having been worn by the late Princess Diana to London’s Marlborough Hotel for the start of the Push 2 wheelchair race.
The suit, a signature power-dressing look, boasted a structured long jacket with pockets and big black buttons, paired with a matching hot-pink pencil skirt. Styled by sister Rhea Kapoor, Sonam chose a black Escada purse, black sunnies from Phoebe Philo, fishnet stockings, matching kitten heels from YSL and an Audemars Piguet sitting on her dainty wrist. The look was kept chic and minimal with a clean face, hints of blush and a pink lip.

Her first pregnancy
Sonam Kapoor and Anand Ahuja had tied the knot back in 2018 and welcomed their first son, Vaayu, in 2022. Taking to Instagram, Sonam had announced her pregnancy with a provocative shoot, captioning it: “Four hands. To raise you the very best we can. Two hearts. That will beat in unison with yours, every step of the way. One family. Who will shower you with love and support. We can’t wait to welcome you.”
In the photos, she is seen wearing a black full-sleeved one-piece, resting her head on Ahuja’s lap and cradling her baby bump, while he supports her head with his palm. This time around, while Ahuja is missing in frame, he is tagged in the post captioned, “MOTHER😘”.

Sonam’s standout maternity looks
Kapoor’s maternity looks have always been the talk of the town – whether she is paying homage to a Western fashion icon or slipping into Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla’s threads for a regal photoshoot.
For example, back in 2022, Sonam Kapoor chose an off-white satin ensemble with delicate sequins and pearl detailing to strike a pose for her maternity photoshoot. And a few days later, the Aisha actor had slipped into an ivory silk sari by the designer duo, paired with a matching strapless blouse and jewels from her mother’s personal collection, for her birthday dinner.
Whether it is to celebrate motherhood or herself, Kapoor has always chosen to dress the way she feels, powerful, bold and beautiful.
