Let’s spend a moment tracing Deepika Padukone’s fashion history with Indian clothing. With her assortment of Kanjeevaram weaves or the hand-painted six-yard and sequined cocktail numbers, she has made saris her signature. The actor has also successfully worn a variety of kurtas, changing things up with flared shararas or dhoti pants. But it’s difficult to discuss any of her eye-catching appearances without bringing up her love of lehengas. The 34-year-old has taken delight in wearing items that promote and maintain the nation’s crafts, whether it’s the crimson lehenga she wore for her Sindhi wedding ceremony that brides-to-be continue to bookmark or her monochromatic creations. Here is a list of all of Padukone’s signature statement-making lehengas.
Deepika Padukone pays homage to traditional lehengas.
Deepika Padukone has demonstrated a consistent preference for traditional silhouettes. In 2016, she took advantage of the appeal of a crimson Sabyasachi lehenga for the IIFA Awards. The separates included a full-skirted blouse with no sleeves and gold flower embroidery on both. She chose a white and blush pink dress by designer Varun Bahl for another awards show. The lehenga’s flouncy and feminine qualities were enhanced by floral appliqué work. Her preferred technique for making an impression? combining an unusual color with a traditional form.

The Chhapaak actor certainly has a keen eye for vintage pieces, but for Padukone, it’s all about perfecting a certain blend. The champagne-colored Sabyasachi lehenga she wore to the IIFA 2016 awards ceremony in Madrid, Spain, exhibits her love of opposites.
The diva continued to favor the form-fitting skirt, choosing a richly adorned black lehenga with a slinky shirt for an occasion. Her simple dupatta was tightened by a belt with metal spikes. She wore a cobalt blue Anamika Khanna lehenga for another occasion, replacing the choli with a bandeau-style top layered under a long metallic jacket.
