With big branded deals, Padukone soon escalated to take the top spot and attended various fashion weeks hosted by Louis Vuitton. And not just that, she also signed up contracts and became Qatar airways’ new face. While there’s so much that we already are proud of, she broke the internet with the news of being a presenter at the Oscars. Yes, quite a moment for Indians. Hence, we’re looking at the many times Deepika made us proud on the global stage and dished out excellent looks.

The actress also made some head-turning choices as the best-dressed juror and turned muse to Louis Vuitton for most occasions.
Joining Hands With Louis Vuitton
By being the first ever Indian to be signed by global luxury fashion houses for Louis Vuitton and Cartier in 2017, she set the stage for the country’s growing influence globally and has further paved the way for other Indian celebrity faces to join the wave in subsequent years.
As the house ambassador of the brand, Padukone filled every big billboard and endorsed the LV Dauphine bag. Following the announcement and signing the contract, she also arrived for the various fashion shows by LV, and took a front-row seat.
