February 22, 2024 10:09 IST

Sonam Kapoor Ahuja has found a place on Britain's Top 40 Best Dressed Celeb list alongside Harry Styles, Kate Middleton, Rosamund Pike, Sienna Miller and Kate Moss.

Since Sonam is already a style icon in India, it's not surprising that the actress is now being recognised globally for her chic taste in fashion.
