Sonam Kapoor

Sonam Kapoor is the envy of Bollywood after becoming the first Indian celebrity to be dressed by fashion house Chanel. The exclusive dress was designed for Sonam to wear to the Filmfare awards.

Sonam said: "I just kept staring at the beautiful basic but simple white gown that they sent me. Yes, I think I’m the first Indian celebrity to be dressed by Chanel in Bollywood. I’m so excited. I felt like Cinderella before the ball. Never before have I been so excited about dressing up for an event."

Sonam adds: "My off-shoulder gown came from their special-celebrity collection."

"They just flew over three Chanel gowns for me to choose from. I liked the white one. I prefer light shades and I avoid accessories.They take away from the basic look of your clothes. And what Chanel sent me for the Filmfare Awards certainly needed no enhancement. It was divine per se."

It was Sonam's photo shoots for Verve and Elle magazine that caught Chanel's eye and they decided to specially send her the gown.

So you know what to do if you want a one-off Chanel gown yourself, just get yourself on the cover of a magazine. Easy right?
