Guess What's Common Between Sonam Kapoor and Meghan Markle's Weddings?!

It seems to be the season for celebrity weddings everywhere, with Prince Harry getting married to Megan Markle and we in India gearing up for the wedding of our very own Bollywood princess Sonam Kapoor. It may surprise you to know however, that both these weddings have someone or something in COMMON (Gasp!!!)

Can't imagine what? Let us give you a hint, the common thread here is not just one but TWO people and they have something to do with Sonam's favourite topic, fashion.

Ralph and Russo

That's right, we are talking about Sonam's favourite international design duo Ralph and Russo, who actually did their own bit in foreshadowing Sonam's wedding by dressing her as a bride for their Paris Fashion week show last year.

We always knew designers could predict the future of fashion, whoever knew they could predict real life future as well!

The designer duo of Tamara Ralph and Michael Russo, are also headed to Mumbai to witness the big fat Punjabi wedding. Sonam shares a relationship with the designer duo both personally and professionally. Ralph and Russo had designed outfits for Sonam for various events in the past, which also included the Cannes Film Festival.

Though Sonam Kapoor is reported to be wearing outfits by Anuradha Vakil, Abu Jani-Sandeep Khosla and Anamika Khanna during her wedding, rumours also have it that she will be also seen in a Ralph and Russo outfit on her wedding reception. Maybe one that looks like this?

And, drumroll please! Reports are in that Meghan Markle will also wear a hand-stitched and heavily beaded dress for the post-ceremony reception hosted by Queen Elizabeth II in St George's Hall at the Windsor Castle. Meghan's dress reportedly costs Rs 90 lakh, and will be paid for by the Royal family.

Megan Markle

Meghan had worn a Ralph & Russo creation for her and Prince Harry's official engagement portrait too.

Maybe Sonam should have done one as well.

So there you have the common thread. Meghan Markle and Sonam Kapoor, both getting married to their princes and both wearing Ralph and Russo reception outfits. Isn't that just something straight out of a fairy tale?
