A Bang & A Fizzle: Deepika Padukone’s Recent Cannes Looks Have Left Us Confused

Deepika Padukone set our expectations high on the first day of Festival de Cannes 2022 with two head-to-toe Sabyasachi looks. However, deep down we suspected that it is as good as it gets and that’s exactly what seems to be happening now. The actress has been glitching in the style department for the past couple of days. While some of her outfits continue to be show-stealing, others do not align with her persona. Take, for instance, her latest posts on social media. Earlier today, Deepika took to Instagram and shared pictures of her recent looks from the French Rivera town and they have left us torn on what to say about her Cannes style. Here’s why:

Score: That’s A Serve!

Bodycon silhouettes should be your default fashion mode when you have an athletic bod like DP. Form-fitting garments on the actress never disappoint and it holds true for her latest all-black look as well. In her recent pics on the ‘gram, DP can be seen rocking a floor-length straight gown complete with full sleeves and a defined, off-shoulder neckline. The ensemble has been completed with a delicate necklace and matching danglers by Cartier. This is a strong look and DP’s red lippie and messy chignon add the perfect finishing touches. We honestly would have nothing to complain about if the actress could maintain the same energy with all her Cannes appearances.

Bore: What Even Is This?

When it comes to Deepika Padukone, what started with a bang seems to be going down with a fizzle especially in the case of her Louis Vuitton looks. They just aren’t landing anymore. Yesterday we spotted her in a rather unremarkable shorts-turtle neck fit and we just stumbled upon another disappointing look. This Louis Vuitton outfit comprises a fuchsia pink skirt that stops at the knees, a printed white tee, knee-high chocolate boots, and a handbag. Look closely and you’ll also spot a linked Salman-Khan style bracelet.

To begin with, nothing in this outfit was supposed to be styled together. Seriously, what even is this look and how did DP let it happen to her? This just did not land!

Well, here’s hoping Deepika goes back to Indian designers for her upcoming Cannes appearances. It certainly worked for her on Day 1.
