Actress Deepika Padukone is busy promoting her upcoming release Gehraiyaan (2022), and we are busy keeping up with her sartorial game which is a perfect balance of class and cool. The actor consistently pushes the envelope when it comes to her appearances and gives us looks that are packed with the trendiest pieces. Be it adding a matching trench to a bright blue midi dress or a frilled crimson blouse to a lustrous leather legging, Padukone has a knack for elevating everyday pieces to sophistication.
While we kick start 2022 with the yearly ritual of priming our wardrobes for the trends of the year ahead, we naturally take a scroll through the trendiest star in Bollywood’s Instagram for instant inspiration. Padukone’s style, steeped in trends but served with glamor and sophistication is making our 2022 fashion mood board. Read on to see key trends the stylish star has been sporting.
1.That jacket dress
Boxy blazers took over our wardrobes last year when we were slowly heading back to work, but still reluctant to commit to a full 5 days work week. Making for a perfect evening look, the boxy blazer dress will be your best friend for the day-to-night transition. Opting to wear her monochrome blazer dress with a pair of black over-the-knee suede boots, Padukone added a pop of color via bright pink lips. The blazer dress with a box will be the ideal companion for transitioning from day to night for a chic nighttime look.
2. Artistic cut-outs
I’m a believer. We’ve seen everything with this style, from catsuits with cut-outs to cut-out dresses over the last year. This trend will undoubtedly continue to be popular until 2022. Padukone is dressed in a bright orange dress by David Koma, the icon of cuts David Koma. It was styled with a striking strap-on pump in black. The actress finished her outfit with an impressive pair of gold shoulder grazers from Misho.
3. Leather in striking red
We’ve all witnessed Padukone’s eternal love for everything leather. In addition to showing her passion for the luxurious material, she was seen on the red carpet promoting her film in a scorching red outfit of Milo Maria. The crisscross neck bodycon outfit was completed with a set of pumps in red. Padukone made a conscious decision not to spend money on accessories and make her dress the focal point of her outfit.
4. Print on print
Deepika made a statement with a print-on-print Adidas sweatshirt with a pair of twinning sweatpants. This Adidas Marimekko tracksuit in super-soft fleece became a trendy piece this winter. While Deepika kept her look fuss-free, she upped her fashion game with a trendy ponytail hairstyle and a pair of dainty earrings.
5. Black velvet number
Deepika attended the premiere of Ranveer Singh’s much-anticipated film 83 in an off-shoulder black velvet gown. The black velvet number by Gauri and Nainika featured a plunging neckline and a long train. Deepika accessorized her look with a diamond necklace. For makeup, she went the vintage way and opted for bold winged eyeliner with a dab of metallic eyeshadow.
6.The pleasure of frill
The actor was seen wearing a red frilled neck top and leather leggings; Padukone made a splash on Instagram with a different look with a touch of sophistication. By combining two other elements, leather and frills, the actor created the perfect balance of style and edge. She finished her hairstyle with a simple braid and dangling gold earrings.
