Bollywood actress and internationally recognized style icon Sonam Kapoor has showcased Dubai’s burgeoning fashion influence through her latest high-profile campaign. As Lancôme’s newly appointed international brand ambassador, Kapoor selected a meticulously tailored celestial pantsuit from Dubai-based luxury label Alina Anwar Couture for the beauty giant’s prestigious global campaign.
The ensemble, drawn from Alina Anwar Couture’s Autumn/Winter 2025 collection, features a sharply structured jacket with an innovative detachable cape component, complemented by perfectly tailored matching trousers. This fashion choice represents more than mere aesthetic selection—it signals a significant shift in the global luxury landscape where Middle Eastern designers are gaining unprecedented international recognition.
Kapoor’s deliberate selection of a Dubai-based designer for a major international campaign underscores her reputation as a fashion visionary who consistently spotlights both emerging and established talent. Her fashion decisions carry substantial weight within the industry, often triggering increased visibility and commercial success for the designers she champions.
Alina Anwar Couture, founded by its eponymous designer, has built its reputation on creating bold, confidence-inspiring designs for cosmopolitan women who navigate global fashion capitals with ease. The brand’s inclusion in a Lancôme international campaign marks a milestone for Middle Eastern fashion houses seeking broader global reach.
Beyond her fashion influence, Kapoor maintains an active acting career, most recently appearing in the 2023 thriller ‘Blind.’ The daughter of Bollywood veteran Anil Kapoor began her industry journey as an assistant director on Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s acclaimed 2005 film ‘Black’ before making her acting debut in 2007’s ‘Saawariya.’ Her diverse filmography includes notable performances in ‘Neerja,’ ‘Sanju,’ ‘Raanjhanaa,’ and ‘Veere Di Wedding,’ demonstrating her versatility across genres.
