Soft knit, leather edge: Sonam Kapoor’s pregnancy look is quietly changing maternity fashion rules

Sonam Kapoor doesn’t “take a break” from fashion - pregnancy or not. If anything, she’s quietly rewriting the rules of maternity style, one effortless look at a time. At a recent book club evening with author Kiran Desai, where The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny was the centre of discussion, Sonam showed up looking calm, chic, and completely herself. No over-the-top glam. No forced drama. Just really good fashion, done her way.What stood out wasn’t just how good she looked, but how comfortable she looked in her skin and her clothes. Sonam has been embracing pregnancy dressing on her own terms - relaxed, intentional, and far from the usual “maternity wear” clichés. Her outfit for the evening felt like a reminder that expecting moms don’t need to switch to boring basics or floaty silhouettes if that’s not their vibe. Styled by Rhea Kapoor (because of course), Sonam chose a soft, bark-toned knit dress that skimmed over her baby bump beautifully. The fabric moved with her, the fit felt easy, and the colour palette was soothing without being dull. She grounded the look with matching boots and threw on a slouchy leather biker jacket, adding just the right hint of edge. The contrast between the fluid dress and the structured jacket made the outfit feel modern, cool, and very “Sonam.”Her accessories stayed low-key but thoughtful. A deep-toned Chanel bag added a luxe touch without stealing attention, while her go-to Zoya jewellery - stacked bangles and minimal earrings - brought in warmth and subtle shine. Nothing felt forced. Everything felt intentional. Even her beauty look followed the same mood. Hair pulled back into a neat bun, soft glowing skin, and minimal makeup let her outfit (and the evening’s literary vibe) do the talking.Sonam later shared how meaningful the night felt to her - about slowing down, letting conversations breathe, and finding joy in words again. And somehow, that calm, reflective energy came through in her outfit too.If there’s a takeaway here, it’s this: Sonam Kapoor is proving that pregnancy style doesn’t need to be boxed in. You can be comfortable, you can be thoughtful, and you can still set trends - without trying too hard.
