Rhea Kapoor has never played by the rules, whether it is the distinctive sartorial choices she’s made for sister Sonam Kapoor Ahuja on the red carpet or the women-led, chancy movies she’s put her weight (and money) behind as one of the youngest producers in Bollywood. Among the various hats, she’s busy wearing at the moment, the newest is playing muse to designer Anamika Khanna for the 15th edition of the Blenders Pride Fashion Tour. We caught up with the ultimate #BossBabe to ask about the fashion hacks she swears by, rookie mistakes she’s guilty of, and why she loves a certain Lady Dorris’ old jackets.
Cosmo: Tell us about your association with the latest Blenders Pride Fashion Tour?
Rhea Kapoor: “It’s such a great platform for the industry, and it’s always interesting to see how innovatively they put fashion out there. This time, they have some incredible designers on board, like Anamika Khanna, Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla, and Manish Malhotra—all so different from each other. I work with Anamika a lot, but I’m her muse here, which is something new for both of us...I’m usually behind the scene, so it’s an honor, really.”
C: And who is your style muse?
RK: “Sonam [Kapoor Ahuja], always! Not because she’s my sister, but because she’s genuinely happy to experiment. And that comes across in the way that she carries her clothes. I admire stylists, too. Samantha McMillen, for instance, is fantastic. She’s done such great work with the Fanning sisters [actors, Dakota and Elle]. So is Law Roach. But my ultimate style icon is Rihanna. She’s the only person who can make me starstruck.”
C: Got a favourite trend?
