Dressing for highly publicized events can present a unique set of challenges, and striking a balance between elegance and excited-to-be-here is a difficult task, even for the most fashionable celebrities. Perhaps that’s why the refined personal style of Bollywood star Sonam Kapoor makes such an impact.

Wearing a creation from the Russian label, Yanina Couture, Sonam attended Manish Malhotra’s 50th birthday bash on Monday evening. 

Made for a rather classic and elegant look. Love!

The velvet black gown with its frilly sleeves providing the illusion of the skirt for the ballerina on the sleeve was just absolutely gorgeous. 

As acknowledged by Yanina,this fascinating fairy-tale portrait of a fabulous beauty from a legendary painting of the Russian artist gave the initial inspiration to the collection. 

Kapoor did complete justice to it by wearing it. She accessorized it with a solitaire diamond necklace and a box clutch. Middle parted updo and red lips finished out her look!
