Sonam Kapoor has officially turned 40! And while the actor has some impressive films and a National Award in her roster, there are other aspects of her personality that this Gemini is also known for.
Her foot-in-the-mouth chattiness, for one.
Her profound love of fashion, for another.
There is nothing when it comes to clothes that Sonam cannot wear well.
Nor are there fashion rules that she won't break if need be.
Even in her on-screen world, she has created fashion goals for not just herself but her co-stars too.
Her talented sister Rhea Kapoor, who is more often than not her stylist, and Sonam are a fashion-forward duo who have shone the spotlight on numerous international luxury brands though films like Aisha and Veere Di Wedding.
On her birthday, here's a look at some of her unforgettable fashion moments over the years:
