A few voices from the desi designer brigade pick out their favourite looks.For Rina Dhaka, the white Ralph and Russo sari-inspired gown that Sonam wore on Day 1, and the black Ralph and Russo evening gown that she wore to the Chopard party were the actress’s best looks this year. "Although she looked fabulous in all the looks she donned, these two in particular would be my pick of the lot. She’s a wonderful model and is more confident now than ever. You can’t really fault any of her style choices. She’s an ultra tall girl with a good figure and a good face — and she works that really well in her garment choices, especially in terms of volume. She works the play of volume and fit very well,” she affirms.Anupama Dayal agrees with Dhaka’s first choice and says that the white Ralph and Russo gown with the half cape was the show-stealer. She avers, "Sonam looked spectacular. Polyester Knitted Fabric factory I love the dramatic outfit and how the cape spread like a magnificent bird’s wings. 

No jewellery and straight hair with just a little eye makeup worked very well for the whole look. It was a great example of something experimentally grand and yet very classic.”For Nida Mahmood, on the other hand, it was the black and blue sculpted sari that stood out. "It was a very bold and interesting choice. I quite like the futuristic fabric development that Rimzim Dadu has done. Made of molten wires, this sari looked like a complete piece of experimentation and reinvention. Sonam has a knack for knowing how to carry off very out-of-the-box, experimental looks. The side-parted hair simply tied in a bun really completed the effect of the whole outfit and the Suhani Pittie jewellery made her look really edgy and cool,” she says.Design guru Adarsh Gill agrees with both of them and adds, "This year at Cannes, Sonam’s choices have been quite dramatic but really well balanced with the minimalist make up. My personal favourite was the Ralph and Russo white gown. It was the right amount of drama and simplicity and elegance, and she looked absolutely stunning.”She continues, "It was a statement-making piece, and a definite standout.”
