Padukone’s look echoes the broader themes artistic director Nicolas Ghesquière has been evolving across seasons, from the sculptural contrasts of Fall/Winter 2025 to the theatrical edge of Cruise 2026. The molten textures, shimmering fringe and sharp accessories all tap into the house’s ongoing play of past and future, structure and ease.

Jewellery was kept minimal, with gold textured studs offering just enough gleam. Her bronzy beauty look featured a high bun with locks coming loose at the back, brushed-up brows, terracotta-toned lids, cheeks and lips set against radiant skin.

Deepika Padukone’s fashion evolution with Louis Vuitton has been one to watch. Initially appointed as the brand’s global ambassador—making her the first Indian woman in that role—she has worn the brand’s most standout looks on global stages like Paris Fashion Week. Now, stepping into her new role as a jury member at the LVMH Prize 2025, she has moved from being the face of the brand to helping define its future.

From Vogue’s fashion desk:

“Keep the high knot to elongate the silhouette, and swap the oversized tote for a sleek, structured clutch. Ground the drama with metallic heels that mirror the movement of the streamers. No necklace needed but instead, opt for bold geometric earrings that tie into the futuristic, tribal-regalia energy. With pared-back makeup and a glossy lid,” says Vogue India fashion associate Manglien Gangte.
