From Reel To Real: How Deepika Padukone’s On-Screen Characters Inspire Her Beauty Transformations

Deepika Padukone didn’t attend the Oscars, Shanti Priya did. The founder of 82°E didn’t attend Paris Fashion Week either. Veronica did. Do you see a pattern? The actress’ glamm has always been inspired by a character she has played and each look is proof of how far she has come.

The result is a nod to Padukone’s career. You’ve got to see it for yourself because Deepika’s character-inspired beauty looks are epic.

Shanti Priya At The Oscars

The thick cat-eye flicks were there. The barely-there lipstick made an appearance. The elegant ‘do with a centre part claimed the spotlight. Deepika even did the wave! 16 years between Om Shanti Om and the Oscars, but some things haven’t changed at all.

Veronica At Paris Fashion Week

Imagine Veronica from Cocktail at Paris Fashion Week. Veronica was bold and outspoken. She exuded that energy through her looks. The smudged, intense kohl, thick voluminous hair, and the nude lip colour. Deepika just tapped into that energy IRL.

Rubina At A Pathaan Photoshoot

Rubina from Pathaan had a thing for wet, slick-back hair. Deepika developed an affinity for the look and wore it to one of Pathaan’s promotions.

Meenamma At A South Indian Wedding

Deepika once attended a South Indian wedding and intentional or not, her glamm stirred memories of the iconic Meenamma from Chennai Express. The sleek, basic bun, the gajra in the hair and the soft, subtle makeup. It’s all there.

I cannot believe I’m just seeing the connection now! But it’s clear – Deepika Padukone’s characters are iconic.
