Salman Music Lover Blog: 20 Style Tips We Gleaned From Deepika Padukone’s Red Carpet Appearances

Deepika Padukone isn’t what you’d call a typical fashionista. Sonam Kapoor is one – with her multiple handbags and monogrammed scarves. You could also call Aishwarya Rai, Priyanka Chopra and Katrina Kaif style stars because they know how to work clothes to their fab bodies. And the new girls Jacqueline Fernandez and Kangana Ranaut, just whizz by in their delicious crop tops and palazzos. But Deepika stands alone in her stylish splendour. Shoulders out, head held high and legs that stretch into the horizon.

Her own style, thanks to the diligent efforts of stylist, Anaita Adajania Shroff has truly evolved over the years. From an Aw-OK-maxi dress to high slits to blazing blazers, Deepika Padukone is now on the top of the fashion ladder. Alone and all mighty – she can take on any fabric, any cut and can experiment with any kind of makeup only because she can and will pull it off. Beautifully.

So we put together 20 tips this style queen has given us mere mortals. Read and remember – self-confidence is your biggest accessory, don’t go out without that.

1. Ruffles on the skirt are always a good idea. Especially if they show off your legs in a good way.

2. Bug-eyed sunglasses + sweaters and scarves = perfect for flying.

3. Monogrammed capes and big boots make any vacation worth it’s time!

4. Choose beads over sequins, any day! They add glamour without going over-the-top.

5. Cut-outs on Indian wear is a great idea. But first, get your abs in shape.

6. Soft feminine pastels combined with satin make great red carpet choices. Add a pop of colour to the look to make it yours. Case in point, bright earrings.

7. A delicate victorian dress might just look too conservative, so break it up with a bright orange lippie.

8. Black is boring, unless you opt for a black mesh pencil dress. Makes you look slim and sexy with a side of adventurous.

9. Crops tops are ok. But off-shoulder crop tops paired with midi skirts are what the gods ordained for divas.

10. There is no need to always head out in heels, even if you’re a celebrity, Keds and sneakers paired with red lips will do the job just fine.

11. If you are bored of pencil skirts, mix and match fabrics. Faux leather is an excellent option for those looking to try bold looks.

12. Red might be the most predictable colour when it comes to saris, but you know pairing with an orange blouse is not. Try to match your sari to a new colour blouse.

13. White denims + white shirt = awesome. What’s better is cutting through the subtlety with a nicely fitted jacket – embroidered one that too.

14. When in doubt, wear sweatshirts with Indian motifs instead of the usual monograms. Boho at it’s best!

15. Fuchsia pink lips can make any plain outfit look like a million bucks. Add it to give your look some oomph.

16. How to look like a modern day princess? Just wear a gold dress and add an oxblood lip to the mix.

17. When wearing a plain dress, always accessorize well. Statement necklaces will always add an edge to the look.

18. Net saris should always be worn with an embellished blouse. The higher the neck of the blouse, the better.

19.Jhumkis will always make a statement on your sari but then, make sure your sari is modern and avant-garde. Opt for a blouse that’s the same colour as the sari too to look understated.

20. Wear separates together to create an entirely new look altogether. You never know what you might end up with.
