Deepika Padukone dials up drama with fringe twist at LVMH Finals but do we love it or leave it?

Deepika Padukone is not just another Bollywood actress, she’s a confident riot, celebrated not only for her sharp acting chops but also for her reigning international stardom. Ruling the glamour grounds both nationally and internationally, she has added yet another milestone to her global journey. The actor is now the first Indian jury member for the LVMH Prize 2025, creating buzz for all the right reasons. As the India brand ambassador of Louis Vuitton, the luxury conglomerate announced the news on Instagram, and the mother has finally touched down in Paris.

For the iconic event, Deepika wore a Louis Vuitton ensemble featuring an oversized, flowy silk shirt splashed with abstract hues of yellow and brown, complete with a deep neckline and collared detailing. The earthy-toned tie-dye pattern full-sleeve shirt was paired with a loose-silhouette mini skirt. But the real showstopper? A striking golden bottom with floor-grazing fringe detailing that added dramatic movement to the entire look.

This daring outfit might be chic or chaotic, but she styled it like a true icon. Deepika opted for bold golden stud earrings, carried a classic black handbag, and sealed the look with a pair of high heels. Instead of letting her hair down, she neatly tied it into a high bun, exuding powerful Parisian vibes with a hint of boardroom edge, all wrapped in her signature poise.

On the beauty side, she kept an illuminating base and sculpted her features with sharp contouring to highlight her side profile and jawline. A touch of brown blush was blended seamlessly with a shimmery highlighter, adding a natural cheek glow. For the eyes, she played with soft brown hues, winged eyeliner, and mascara-laden lashes. Completing the bold yet balanced look, she wore a mauve pink lipstick, proving once again that she knows how to own a moment.

While her international presence makes every Indian proud, her outfit choice sparked divided opinions on social media. Some fans accused Louis Vuitton of dressing her in unflattering looks, while others criticised her stylist. One user commented, “Why does LV always dress her in something brown and ugly?” Another wrote, “She needs to fire Shaleena; she even did SRK dirty at the Met.” Many recalled her 2022 FIFA World Cup trophy appearance, where comparisons to a brown ‘duffle bag’ went viral.

Controversy aside, Deepika served a completely different mood when spotted at Mumbai airport before leaving for Paris. She wore an oversized red knitted sweater layered over a pastel blue collared shirt, paired with sleek denim jeans and brown boots. Finishing the look with black sunglasses and a million-dollar smile, she looked effortlessly relaxed.
So, is Deepika’s oversized shirt and fringe skirt combo at the LVMH Finals a power slay or just another fashion gamble? Let us know in the comments section.
