Hot or Hot Mess: Sonam Kapoor in Chanel at the Paris-Bombay Chanel Show

By Charlotte

Rising Indian actress Sonam Kapoor joined pal Freida Pinto at the Chanel Paris-Bombay show at the Grand Plaza in Paris on Tuesday. She, of course, wore Chanel — choosing a frock from the Spring 2012 line.

The dress is typically Chanel, in white with black accents and ruffled details. The actress paired the dress with black tights and black pumps.

Things I like: The fact that she has made a very Sping-y dress look perfectly wintery with the black tights and shoes. In fact, it almost looks winter-perfect. Very festive! I also quite like the dress. I love the shoulder details. It looks fabulous on the catwalk, but it just doesn’t translate too much to real life.

But I don’t like the accessorizing. The necklace is just too much, and adds colour that isn’t really necessary to the outfit. It’s just all a bit too-much with such a stand-out dress. I would also have taken the earrings out. As Chanel herself said, take a piece of jewellery off before you leave the house.

I would have loved to see long flowing locks here, but I do like the makeup. Some have said it’s too heavily applied but I think it complements her face nicely.

I’m gonna go with fab dress on the catwalk, but not so much in real life.

But what do you guys think- hot or hot mess?
