Sonam stuns in mint green

As the nation celebrated Karwa Chauth with great excitement, B-town wives also joined the festivities. On Sunday, Sonam Kapoor was spotted arriving at her father Anil Kapoor’s residence to celebrate the special occasion.

Instead, she wore a beautiful mint green ensemble. Her outfit included a saree-styled lehenga with a V-neck jacket blouse decorated with detailed embroidery, mirror-work, and soft floral designs. She paired this with a matching pleated skirt and a long cape. For accessories, the actress chose a pair of statement multi-layered, three-piece moon-shaped earrings that extended down to her shoulders.

Earlier, Shilpa Shetty, Raveena Tandon, Geeta Basra, Neelam and Mira Kapoor, were spotted arriving at Anil and Sunita Kapoor’s residence on Sunday evening for the traditional Karwa Chauth puja. All of them were dressed in ethnic attire.While Raveena donned an Anarkali suit, Shilpa opted for a red saree. Maheep Kapoor and Bhavana Panday came together.
