Actor Sonam Kapoor attended King Charles III's Coronation Concert in London on Sunday night. She introduced various choir performers of the Commonwealth and also Steve Winwood, who performed the modern version of his iconic song 'Higher Love' with a 70-piece orchestra.

Sonam began her speech with 'namaste' and emphasised the diversity of the Commonwealth during her spoken word performance. She also talked about the oneness that binds the diversity of the nation.

Sonam's video was shared by her mother Sunita Kapoor on social media with the caption, 'So proud! Such an honour.'

Ahead of her performance, Sonam shared a series of photos revealing her look for the event. The actor donned an elegant Bardot gown for the occasion which was designed by Anamika Khanna and Emilia Wickstead. Sharing the pictures on Instagram, Sonam wrote, ‘Historic moments call for fashion moments. I'm honoured to mark the unforgettable occasion of the #Coronationconcert by wearing the collaborative vision of two of the most incredible designers from the two countries I'm lucky to call home..@anamikakhanna.in @emiliawickstead.’
