When we think about fashion in Bollywood, Sonam Kapoor’s name appears at the top of the list. She is the ultimate fashionista who knows how to turn heads at every outing and public appearance.

She is often referred to as the Fashionista of Bollywood and is known for setting trends on various occasions with her outfit choices. Sonam Kapoor credits her sister Rhea Kapoor who styles her outfits for her gorgeous looks. Meanwhile, Rhea acknowledges Sonam’s beauty and confidence, which makes it possible for her to experiment with her attire.
Sonam knows how to rock a red carpet look as well as she knows how to look stunning in casual clothes without any makeup on. She is one such actress who has always been vocal about showing her real side to the audience as well.
So, let’s take a look at twenty times when Sonam Kapoor ditched her bronzer and highlighter and killed the no-makeup look with absolute confidence.
Sonam Kapoor posted this picture on her Instagram handle and wrote,
“So, for every teen girl leaning into her bedroom mirror, wondering why she doesn’t look like a celebrity: Please know that nobody wakes up like this. Not me. Not any other actress. (Not even Beyoncè. I swear.)
Here’s the real deal: Before each public appearance, I spend 90 minutes in a makeup chair. Three to six people work on my hair and makeup while a professional touch up my nails. My eyebrows are tweezed and threaded every week. There’s concealer on parts of my body that I could never have predicted would need concealing.
I’m up at 6 am every day and at the gym by 7:30. I exercise for 90 minutes and some evenings again before bed. It’s someone’s full-time job to decide what I can and cannot eat. There are more ingredients in my face packs than in my food. There’s a team dedicated to finding me flattering outfits.
After all of that, if I’m still not ‘flawless’ enough, there are generous servings of Photoshop.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll keep saying it; it takes an army, a lot of money, and an incredible amount of time to make a female celebrity look the way she does when you see her. It isn’t realistic, and it isn’t anything to aspire to.
Aspire to confidence. Aspire to feel pretty and carefree and happy without needing to look any specific way.
And, then, next time you see a 13-year-old girl gazing wistfully at a blemish-free, shiny-haired Bollywood actress on a magazine cover, bust the myth of flawlessness for her.
Tell her how beautiful she is. Praise her smile or her laugh or her mind.
Don’t let her grow up believing that she’s flawed or that there’s anything she’s lacking for looking different from a woman on a billboard. Don’t let her hold herself to a standard that’s too high, even for the women on those billboards.”
Now, that is QUEEN BEHAVIOR!! She spoke and how!! Spitting facts!!
Sonam Kapoor attended the funeral of a Bollywood veteran when she donned this white kurta along with pants and chose to stay without makeup. Though she looks tired and sad for obvious reasons, we can’t help but notice how flawless her skin looks. She kept her hair open, which is totally adding to her beauty.
This is the same actress who has left our jaws dropped with her glamorous and elegant appearances on the red carpet in India and at the Cannes Film Festival, and she sure is capable of turning heads with her no-makeup look as well.
This is Sonam Kapoor at the Delhi house of her husband, Anand Ahuja’s family. Sonam shared this no-makeup and natural selfie on her Instagram while she was on her maternity break.
It’s extremely difficult to keep our eyes away from the natural pregnancy glow on her skin. Sonam likes to keep it real with her fans and consciously makes it a point to post her no-makeup, natural, and ordinary-looking pictures along with her numerous dazzling images on her Instagram feed.
The fashionista Sonam Kapoor at a rally in a casual look without makeup looks like the ‘girl next door’. A purple top, a black shrug, blue jeans, a sling bag, and hair tied in a bun serve the purpose of her visit very well.
Sonam opted for this casual look as she said there is a time and place for everything because of her profession. She is often seen getting ready for every small event, but she was there at the rally for a cause like every other person, and that’s how she would like it to be.

While every other actor gets ready and tries to look their best for the camera, even if it’s an Instagram live, Sonam decided to go for a no-makeup, free, and easy-going attire for her Instagram live.
She interacted with her fans while keeping it as natural as she could in a simple black t-shirt and hair tied in a bun. Sonam Kapoor’s natural no-makeup look didn’t go unnoticed, as her fans applauded her for keeping it real without any filters with them. Many young girls also comment on her no-makeup pictures for making them believe that flawlessness is a hoax and that perfection lies in one’s flaws.
Sonam Kapoor with a gun, how often would you see that outside of a movie set? Rarely… To add the cherry on top, her cute smile and those playful eyes are just making it picture-perfect.
This picture was clicked right before her makeup began, and she looks oh-so-beautiful!! Sonam Kapoor is getting ready for an event, and you can see a sneak-peak of her outfit under her white robe.
Here’s one lesser-known fact about the Bollywood actress Sonam Kapoor, she started working as a teenager, and her first job was as a waitress at the age of fifteen.
Sonam Kapoor looks absolutely adorable with those cat-eyed glasses and that shy smile. A black kurti, with half-tied hair, gold earrings, and a pretty smile, can never go wrong for a girl, and Sonam Kapoor’s look validated it.
The unironed look on her kurta is, in fact, a design and it is made to give a crumpled look in the front and a straighter look at the back. Here you may see the diva in a simple black kurti but when it comes to luxury fashion brands, her taste is as exquisite as it can get. She loves to shop from brands like Dior, Chanel, and Jean Paul Gaultier.
Sonam Kapoor lazes in bed on a Sunday afternoon… She often shares no-makeup selfies and pictures on her Instagram to promote the idea of young girls not succumbing to the beauty standards set by society.
Isn’t this how most of us are at home? Care-free, in casuals, without makeup obviously, and just happy in ourselves.
When asked about what her lazy Sunday afternoon looks like, she said that her perfect way to spend time when she is not working is with a good book sitting by the window in the presence of her pets. If not this, then she likes to chill with her husband, family, and close friends. Well, now Anand and Sonam have a cute little addition to their family, their son Vayu, so we are sure all her Sunday afternoons are spent with him.
Sonam Kapoor looks charming in her relaxed and easy-breezy outfit. Sonam Kapoor’s look comprises a simple black top, dark blue jeans, black glasses, straight hair, and a watch. Her casual look is made ten times prettier by her beautiful smile.
The actress has zero inhibitions and is often stuck in controversies, given her outspoken nature. But she has never shied away from speaking for what she feels is right. Sonam Kapoor is of the opinion that if you have a voice and an audience to influence, then it is your moral duty to speak for the right causes.
Continuing the streak of dropping one no-makeup look after another… Sonam Kapoor posted this picture on her Instagram handle with the caption,
“Bare नो मेकप”
She can be seen traveling in a car, donning a magenta outfit and leaving her hair open with soft curls to seal the deal.
The style icon is known for being the trailblazer in breaking the stereotypes and taking a stand for social issues she feels strongly about. And one thing that she has talked about very openly on various occasions is how one should have the right to love whoever one wants. She is an ardent supporter of the LGBTQIA+ community.

She can be seen nailing a black top, silver hoops, and wavy hair tied in a ponytail resting on her left shoulder. It seems as if the paparazzi left Sonam Kapoor open-mouthed for clicking her while she was still in the car.
Sonam Kapoor takes care of her skin and hair, and its effects can be seen in her naturally glowing skin and healthy hair. When it comes to her skincare and haircare, she sticks to generations-old Indian homemade recipes for face masks and hair masks.
Here’s a cute picture of Sonam Kapoor pouting and wearing a pair of big cat-eyed black glasses. Sonam Kapoor looks endearing and so lovely in this picture with her cutesy pout, puppy eyes, glasses, and no-makeup natural skin. Without a doubt, she is one of the very few actresses who carry the glam look as well as the de-glam look.

Sonam Kapoor looks super fit and pretty in this long black top and grey tights. Sonam was out for her chores when she sported a no-makeup look and decided to tie her hair in a bun and opt for big hoop earrings and a black bag to complete her casual look.
While Sonam is super fit now, she used to be obese before she decided to enter the industry and apparently lost 30 kgs before the shoot for Sawariya commenced. Even today, Sonam is a flat-out foodie by self-admission!! She loves to savor the desi Indian food but never skips her gym to maintain her fit body.
Another selfie of the Bollywood Diva without makeup from her pregnancy days. It seems as if Sonam Kapoor ditched her makeup for those nine months and lived her life like a regular woman going through one of the most beautiful phases of her life.
Here you can see Sonam Kapoor snuggled up on the bed in her blanket in chilly winters with a temperature of 3° Celsius. Though Sonam Kapoor is without makeup in this picture, we can’t help but adore her perfectly shaped brows!!!

This is Sonam’s post-workout no makeup selfie. And the post-workout glow is pretty evident, making her look bewitching. Sonam Kapoor’s skin looks as pretty as it gets, but the diva has under-eye bags like any normal person. She could’ve very well hidden her dark circles with makeup or filters, but she chose not to, as she wants her Instagram to be as close to reality as possible for her 34.8 million followers.

This is another picture of Sonam Kapoor(Padman ) without makeup from her pregnancy days. Sonam Kapoor and her husband, Anand Ahuja, are spiritual beings and follow the path of simplicity and gratitude ardently.
Her spiritual journey can be one of the reasons why almost every picture from her pregnancy journey is without makeup, as she would have wanted to keep her body and skin chemical-free and healthy for the baby.
Sonam Kapoor(Bhaag Milkha Bhaag
She looks absolutely precious, like an ordinary student going to attend tuition or college!!
In the movie Ranjhana, Sonam essayed the role of a 16-year-old schoolgirl when she was 28 years old. This speaks volumes about the fact that she has what it takes to essay any role that comes her way while making it seem believable.
Did you also notice that Sonam’s every other outfit is black? It seems as if the diva also prefers black to any other color when it comes to casual outfits, just like most of us…
This picture is from her pregnancy days when she and Anand were awaiting the birth of their son, Vayu. Anand Ahuja and Sonam Kapoor were on their babymoon in Italy when this picture was taken. Sonam Kapoor’s no-makeup selfie with a golden choker, small hoops, and a black top is making her look pretty.
Sonam Kapoor attends a dinner party in a white floral dress paired with a shrug. She opted for a small pendant and golden-colored hoops to complete her no-makeup look. Sonam looks regal in this attire and perfectly rocks that no-makeup look at an intimate dinner.
Well, it may be hard to believe now, but being an actor wasn’t Sonam Kapoor’s childhood dream. One must assume, especially because of the family that she comes from, that Sonam grew up with the Bollywood dream, but it isn’t true… In fact, Sonam wanted to be behind the camera and also worked as an assistant director to Sanjay Leela Bhansali in the movie Black. Mr. Bhansali convinced her that she had the looks and talent to be an actress; hence she took on Sawariya, her debut film with Ranbir Kapoor.
