For some odd reason the Cannes film festival has become a fashion event. Who wore what and offended our sensibilities no end captures more newsprint than the films shown.

In this light, the fact that Sonam Kapoor whose red carpet appearances seem to be the bedrock of her career wore a Ralph & Russo gown, for her second appearance on the highly watched red carpet is apparently significant. “Having made a breathtaking appearance on the Cannes red carpet in a Ralph & Russo gown, Sonam chose to don another creation from the haute couture house,” said her spokesperson.
