Pregnant Sonam Kapoor Glows in Chocolate-Brown Amit Aggarwal Gown at Zoya Launch

Sonam Kapoor turned a jewellery unveiling into a maternity fashion moment, arriving on the beige carpet at Zoya Jewels' My Embrace launch in a custom chocolate-brown Amit Aggarwal gown that "spoke volumes through its quiet sophistication," News18 wrote. The draped silhouette followed her form instead of fighting it, presenting a calm, old money tonal moment in contemporary couture.

The gown married saree-inspired fluidity with sculptural construction: a deep V-neck balanced the weight of the fabric while fine, tonal pleating added soft texture across the dress. Hindustan Times described it as "a masterclass in understated elegance, wrapped in rich, earthy tones," and highlighted that "the fabric featured fine, tonal pleating that created soft texture and dimension, catching the light with every movement."

Movement was the point. Rapid Read noted "fine pleats ran throughout the fabric, adding subtle texture and movement that shimmered gently as she walked," and photographers captured the pleats catching flashes of light as Sonam posed. The look favored restraint over ornamentation: sleek, pulled-back hair framed the deep V and let the gown's construction read like quiet tailoring rather than showy red carpet drama. News18 observed the outfit "balanced softness with structure."

Maternity styling was central to the moment. With "calm confidence, she gently held her baby bump, allowing the fluid silhouette and her natural glow to take centre stage," News18 wrote. ETVbharat went further, noting Sonam is "currently expecting her second child" and quipping that the "baby bump [was] gently cradled like it was a limited-edition clutch." News18 also positioned the image as a chapter: "Sonam Kapoor continues to embody effortless radiance as she steps into this new chapter of motherhood," and the outlet identified the actor as 40 years old.

The Zoya appearance wasn't the only outfit rotation that day. ETVbharat documented earlier looks: an ivory Dhruv Kapoor ensemble with a structured white shirt-jacket, padded shoulders, a low-rise voluminous maxi skirt, aviator shades and gold jhumkis; and a monochrome black set featuring a turtleneck crop top, floor-length skirt, structured blazer, a waist chain and stacked rings. Visual confirmation circulated on Instagram via posts from Manav Manglani and Sonam A Kapoor, where the caption excerpted as “… AmitAggarwal #ZoyaJewels #FinalAppearance ... Sonam Kapoor stepped out in a breathtaking chocolate brown custom gown by Amit Aggarwal.”

At Zoya's My Embrace launch on February 25, 2026, Sonam made the case that elevated maternity dressing can read like old money tonal dressing translated into modern couture. Between the pleats, the deep V and the composed gestures toward her bump, the moment felt intimate and intentional rather than performative, a clear reminder that craftsmanship and quiet luxury still do the loudest work.
