5 Times Deepika Padukone’s Looks Had Us Wondering What Was She Thinking?
Deepika too made her share of mistakes!

Her ever-changing personal style bridges the gap between crowd-funded trends and long-lasting classics. But in between award shows, special international appearances and visits to the airport, Ms Padukone is prone to taking risky chances with her sartorial experiments. Ever since her debut in Bollywood, Padukone has provided us with a plethora of tacky looks that range from weird saree looks, to red riding hood-inspired athleisure. Let’s take a look at some of these prominent worst looks served by Deepika Padukone.
FIFA
At this year’s FIFA finals, the actress was dressed by an international designer house–Louis Vuitton. As the newly appointed house ambassador of LV, Padukone dished out a not-so-impactful ensemble. The leather jacket with embellished shoulders, a white shirt and a weird midi skirt in black turned Padukone into the worst-dressed celebrity of that week. Many trollers also expressed their disappointment towards the brand for ruining the historic moment for the actress.

Airport Fashion
At times, Padukone’s colour choices make us believe that she certainly gets inspired by her husband Ranveer Singh’s fashion. For two back-to-back airport looks in the recent past, the actress picked mood-bursting highlighter hues. One of the athleisure designs featured red latex pants, a turtle neck jumper and a baseball hat of the same shade. The red riding hood look turned into the most loved meme of that week. Another of her most underwhelming airport look was a combination of neon green and electric blue. These colour combos certainly had us enquiring–”What were you thinking DP?”

Cannes Ka Kamaal
As the juror at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival, the actress was dressed by Louis Vuitton on various occasions. The actress picked some highly experimental couture designs, which indeed were impressive. But one look by LV that failed to win our hearts was Padukone’s feather-laden gown. Tailor-made using royal brocade, broad bird-like shoulders and feathers, the actress sported the LV look with gelled-up hair and minimal accessories. The silhouette failed to compliment the actress’ sporty form and was welcomed into the memes world.

Chandni Chowk To China UK Premiere
At the UK premiere of her film–Chandni Chowk To China, Deepika wore a powder pink fusion kalidaar with a little tulle and a bejewelled bodice. Appliqué work, stones and silver crystal work were combined with a Disney gown-like net attachment at the end. But what made the ensemble worse was the addition of a fur coverup in beige and coffee hues. The actress while posing with co-star Akshay Kumar, flaunted a crystal bindi, romantic hair bun and thread earrings.

Giant Awards 2016
At the Giant Awards 2016, Deepika Padukone wore another underwhelming look with tons of sequins, feathers and fabric play. Padukone’s ensemble featured a sequin-laden top, with a feather-embellished neckline and crystal, shimmer detail. Combined with the blouse were printed velvet pants in maroon. Trolling the outfit, memes called Padukone an “overly dressed fox,” and we couldn’t agree more!
