A Hit & A Miss! Deepika Padukone’s First Two Looks From Cannes Have Left Us Underwhelmed

It’s showtime, fashion gworls! The 2022 Cannes Film Festival has officially begun and Deepika Padukone can finally be spotted in the French Riviera town. The actress joined the jury panel last night and gave us two “interesting” looks while at it.

From joining the competition jury at Festival de Cannes to her appointment as Louis Vuitton’s new House Ambassador, Deepika seems to be riding a career-high at the moment. With all eyes on her, we expected some internet-breaking looks, but her first day has left us a little underwhelmed. Here’s why:

Look #1: Of Airport OOTDs & A Constant Accessory

Yesterday, Deepika made it to Cannes in a denim-on-denim fit. The look comprised deep blue jeans folded at the hem (take notes!), a drop shoulder jacket by Louis Vuitton, and a crisp white shirt. It is the cropped jacket that stood out for us with its textured finish and cropped style. Barring her now constant Dauphine bag, DP opted for basic black accessories including slingback heels and oversized sunnies.

The styling is bang on, it is perfect for the airport and we love that Deepika is not trying too hard. Even the bag fits right in and is elevating the look just right.

Our verdict? It’s a hit!

Look #2: Of Jury Duty & An Incoherent Fit

For the 75th edition of the Cannes Film Festival, Deepika is part of the eight-member jury which will reward one of the 21 films in competition with the coveted Palme d’Or on May 28th. The actress joined the rest of the jury members at Hotel Martinez last evening in a head to toe LV look. We are happy to report that Deepika FINALLY did away with her Dauphine bag after carrying it for almost a week. Sadly, that’s the only saving grace for her second look from Cannes.

For look #2, Deepika channelled her Louis Vuitton Ambassador mode in a modified ramp outfit from the brand’s Fall 2021 collection. The ensemble included a white sleeveless shift dress that was layered with a knit top. The multi-coloured separate did nothing for Deepika and is actually making the entire look fall apart. It does not go with her chocolate boots and sits incoherently with her gorgeous Petite Malle bag as well. We do like DP’s chocolate-dipped hair and her signature nude makeup, but that’s about it.

Our verdict? This ain’t it.

NGL, while look #2 did fall a little flat, we’re pretty confident that the leggy lass will step it up soon. After all, the show has just begun!
