Only an icon can give such a jaw-dropping ode to another icon. Sonam Kapoor recently made history by becoming the first Indian A-lister to recreate Jennifer Lopez's renowned Versace dress that she first wore at the Grammy Awards in 2000. The famed green outfit has been recreated by several Hollywood stars, including Emily Ratajkowski who recreated the outfit for Halloween last year. Sonam has emerged as the first Bollywood diva to wear a version of the dress for a recent magazine cover shoot.

In a video leaked online, Sonam oozed confident and oomph as she posed in the stunning outfit. Unlike Jennifer Lopez, Sonam opted for minimalistic make-up and tied her hair into a neat bun, letting the dress do all the talking. Check out the video here:

Jennifer Lopez made the look popular 25 years ago. Take a look at the iconic look that was recreated years later for Lopez:

Sonam has had a memorable year on the fashion front so far. She has not only featured on the cover of Vogue India magazine, she has also represented India at fashion events such as the Paris Fashion Week and Dior's Pre-Fall Show in Japan.

Sonam Kapoor on borrowing clothes

Sonam Kapoor revealed, "I just wanted to wear what I liked from the designers I knew. It was just me being myself, influenced by the education I got from my mom and my passion for fashion. I considered fashion designers, both international and Indian, as stars because I grew up admiring them through my mom. This wasn't about projecting an image; it was about my genuine love for fashion."

She adds, "I realised people didn't often borrow clothes, so I started borrowing them. It didn't make sense to buy everything all the time. I did buy a lot, but borrowing was more practical. This practice was common internationally but not in India, so I just did what felt right at the time. I was a 20-year-old girl, just following my passion for fashion without any strategic intent."
