Unquestionably the resident fashionista of Bollywood, Sonam Kapoor Ahuja confirmed her second pregnancy in a style statement befitting her title, using fashion to make a poignant, personal point. The actress, who is married to Anand Ahuja and already has a son, Vaayu, officially announced the happy news on social media by posting a series of chic photos on Tuesday. Sonam was seen wearing a vintage hot-pink suit by the luxury label Escada, a design famously worn by Princess Diana on multiple occasions.

The Lady Diana fashion reference
Sonam Kapoor’s announcement was an undeniable tribute to royalty. She chose a striking fuchsia button-up, split blazer and suit look created by designer Margaretha Ley for Escada, a luxury brand that was one of Princess Diana’s favorites for semi-private engagements in the early 1990s. Diana was pictured wearing the bright pink power suit in at least four public appearances between 1988 and 1990. By selecting a piece with such historical significance and elegance, Sonam reinforced her sophisticated fashion game and paid homage to the timeless style of the late Princess.Styled by her sister, Rhea Kapoor, Sonam’s look was complemented with a quilted bag, sunglasses by Phoebe Philo and Vendome slingback pumps by YSL.The deliberate choice of an archival piece, rather than contemporary couture, speaks volumes about Sonam’s deep appreciation for fashion history. The simple yet powerful caption, “MOTHER,” coupled with the vintage Escada suit, instantly created a viral moment, affirming Sonam’s status as a style icon who uses clothing to narrate her most personal chapters.According to the Princess Diana Museum website, the original Escada suit worn by Princess Diana has its own charming history. After its public appearances, Lady Diana, known for her charitable giving, donated the suit to a local charity store to help raise money. The item was later preserved by the shop owner and eventually auctioned off.
