Instagram is currently speaking in only two languages, weddings, and the FIFA World Cup. Literally, with every story that I tap on, the cheer of FIFA gets bigger. For the unversed (firstly why are you?), last night Qatar hosted the FIFA World Cup, where Argentina beat France to win the golden title. And everyone from Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh, Nora Fatehi, and Farah Khan to Kartik Aaryan flew down to Qatar to watch the finals. But amidst the madness of the game, what caught the Indian fans’ attention was Deepika Padukone unveiling the gorgeous gold trophy of the World Cup.
To unveil the absolutely gorgeous design, Louis Vuitton’s monogrammed distinctive LV luggage case was used as a carrier to escort the trophy to the pitch. And well, who better to unveil the trophy than Deepika, the latest brand ambassador of the luxury label. The actress made history by being the first Indian to unveil the trophy. As joined by former Spanish Footballer–Iker Casillas Fernandez, Padukone arrived in a semi-custom dress, designed by Nicolas Ghesquière. And while all that glory of being a part of that historic moment, shined on her face, what disappointed us the most was Padukone’s attire for the evening.
The piece as pulled from the label’s 2023 Cruise collection, was a chocolate brown, Parka oversized jacket. Coupled with the outerwear was a tailored black skirt in silk, and a white shirt. Layering at best, the metallic, latex fabric brought gloss to her silhouette, and a sporty spirit through a black, embellished shoulder patch. Cinching it all together, Deepika’s dazzling jacket featured a statement belt and baggy boots. Every oversized element in the ensemble added extra volume to the look. It felt like DP was like that corner chair in our rooms, that manages the hill of clothes we throw on it. What was a delight in the entire ensemble, was Padukone’s choice of a sleek hair bun, and red lips, well the only saving grace in the look.
The close-to-a-warrior’s armour like appeal of Padukone’s Louis Vuitton attire also received a lot of hate on the Internet. As soon as Padukone arrived to unveil the trophy, the internet screamed, “Louis Vuitton did her dirty.” Many also called out the brand for choosing the ensemble for such a momentous occasion. Check out some of these reactions.
Deepika has previously been dressed by the luxury label for important moments like the Cannes Film Festival this year, but never has our girl been packaged in a silhouette like this. Never. We definitely agree with the comments, and would love LV to think as many times as they want, before they put the global icon in a silhouette like that.

Besides all the buzz around her outfit, Padukone was joined by husband/actor Ranveer Singh, as he arrived to cheer for her, and of course Argentina.
