Sonam Kapoor lives by these style rules

Grazia's cover girl for October Sonam Kapoor Ahuja poses in a Gucci jumpsuit as she cuts an elegant pic in the black-and-white.

Sonam Kapoor Ahuja will catch your attention on the black-and-white cover of Grazia.

Dressed in a Gucci jumpsuit with a white shirt, she completed the look with diamond and rose gold earrings.

Reflecting on matters of beauty, the actor has revealed secrets about her style to the mag.

'Over the years, I've avidly followed blogs and magazines, Paper has been a personal favourite.

'I've drawn from pop culture -- I love Rihanna and Lady Gaga for their unabashed style, but also Jane Birkin and Grace Kelly for their individuality,' she shared in an interview with the mag.

'I don't think anybody is impervious to criticism. I sometimes look at constructive criticism that will make me grow more. Trolls do get to me though. Eventually it's all about just switching off.'

When quizzed about trends, this is what she had to say: 'I don't believe in following trends. You need to be authentic, true to who you are and never ever let anything sway that self-belief, especially since social media has entered such a prolific space.

'While it's always great to experiment, I don't believe in wearing anything that doesn't feel like me, and I think that should apply to everyone.'

'Since I was a kid, I’ve been exposed to fashion, my mother used to be a designer. All the women in my family, including my maasi and nani have possessed very strong aesthetics,' she added.
