Sonam Kapoor has been dazzling India with her chic fashion sense and authentic style statements. Buzz is that the young glam diva has now joined the list of 500 people who influence the fashion industry.

Interestingly, this is for the first time any Indian actress has featured on this list. As a matter of fact, the survey is done by an online portal called the Business Of Fashion.

Every year there is a list drawn by BOF 500, of 500 people worldwide who build the fashion industry.

The BOF 500 is a live, visual index of these talented shapers of the global fashion industry, curated by the editors of The Business of Fashion and powered by social media.

This list consists of people from designers to entrepreneurs to behind-the-scenes catalysts, hailing from 27 countries and representing 50 different nationalities.
