Bollywood fashion icon Sonam Kapoor has shared a BTS video from her recent photoshoot in Kyoto, Japan, where she’s seen wearing Dior’s Pre-Fall 2025 collection. The actress posted the elegant photos on her Instagram, capturing a moment of tranquility amid the historic city’s centuries-old ambiance.
In the captivating video, Kapoor is seen getting ready in an exquisite outfit from Dior’s Pre-Fall 2025 collection. The visuals highlight a blend of contemporary fashion and traditional Japanese aesthetics, offering a subtle yet striking fashion moment tied to Dior’s global showcase..
“Wrapped in serenity, surrounded by centuries of stillness. A quiet moment in Kyoto wearing @dior Pre-Fall 2025,” Kapoor captioned her post, perfectly encapsulating the peaceful atmosphere of the shoot.
The photoshoot was orchestrated by a team of professionals, with hair styled by Hiral Bhatia, makeup by Arti Nayar, and styling by Rhea Kapoor and Abhilasha Devnani. The stunning images were captured by photographers Apeksha Maker (The House of Pixels) and Hiro Yamaguchi for British Vogue.
As a Dior ambassador, she has been actively representing the brand at various international events. In a previous post from the show, Dior highlighted how Kapoor “effortlessly personifies the elegant allure” of the latest collection by Maria Grazia Chiuri, the brand’s creative director.
The choice of Kyoto as the location for both the fashion show and this subsequent photoshoot is significant, as the ancient Japanese city is known for its rich cultural heritage, traditional architecture, and serene aesthetics, which align well with Dior’s artistic vision for the season.
Sonam Kapoor has established herself as one of India’s foremost fashion icons over the years. The daughter of actor Anil Kapoor, she made her acting debut in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s “Saawariya” in 2007 and has since appeared in numerous films. However, it’s her distinctive sense of style and fashion-forward choices that have earned her international recognition.
Known for her experimental approach to fashion, Kapoor has become a regular at global fashion events and has represented various international luxury brands. Her collaboration with Dior has been particularly notable, with the actress frequently spotted in the French fashion house’s creations at high-profile events.
In recent months, Kapoor has been actively engaged in various brand collaborations and fashion events. Just recently, she opened House of Masaba’s largest bridal destination in New Delhi, celebrating “15 years of friendship, collaboration and iconic motifs” with designer Masaba Gupta. She was also seen unveiling the new Magnum Pistachio ice cream at Lakmé Fashion Week, showcasing her versatility as a brand ambassador.
In early April, Kapoor was also announced as the face of Runwal Realty, with the real estate company stating that she “embodies the grace, trust, and timeless elegance” they believe in. This association adds to her growing portfolio of brand partnerships across various industries.
Sonam’s continued partnership with prestigious global brands like Dior reinforces her status as a fashion influencer who transcends geographical boundaries. Her ability to blend traditional Indian aesthetics with international high fashion has made her a unique voice in the global fashion landscape.
