As the saying goes: ‘jack of all trades, master of none’, but Vogue Singapore’s ‘Intentions’ cover star Deepika Padukone begs to differ. Aside from her expansive accolades on the silver screen, the Bollywood luminary heads The Live Laugh Love Foundation, advocating for mental health awareness, accessibility and affordability, as well as 82e–her brand that focuses on exemplifying holistic well-being through simplified skincare. In the fashion space, Padukone is front and centre as global ambassador for Louis Vuitton and Cartier respectively; her boldness and authenticity gleaming through as she works hand in hand with the French maisons for campaigns and red carpet extravaganzas alike.
Her true and uncompromising sense of self also sets her apart in the sartorial realm. Often paying homage to her heritage and thrusting Indian couturiers into the spotlight, white sarees seem to rule in Padukone’s favour as she donned a textured soft cream saree ladened with briolette crystal drops for the Manish Malhotra bridal couture show. Meanwhile, the NMACC gala in Mumbai saw Padukone dressed to the nines in a custom Anamika Khanna embellished ivory pantsuit accompanied with an organza cape.
For the most recent Oscars ceremony, Padukone looked regal in custom Louis Vuitton, presenting an award in a black velvet off-shoulder mermaid evening gown and gloves to match, as a pear-shaped Cartier necklace came into full focus. Her appearance at The Academy Museum Gala proved no different, with a custom-made velvet train trailing behind a deep violet one-shoulder gown, accessorised with Panthère de Cartier bracelets and earrings this time round.
The actor shows no signs of stopping in 2024, starring in two action blockbusters that are set to premiere early this year. As we await her red carpet appearances for Fighter and Singham Again, take a look at the best of her red carpet arrivals to date. If we’re sure of one thing, it’s that Padukone exudes true resplendent glamour, as evidently seen below.
