Hot alert! Deepika rocks a bikini on mag cover

Deepika Padukone has all the inspiration for a stylish summer in a bikini. 

Summer is all about staying stylish and cool. With her Elle India mag cover, Deepika Padukone serves up serious style inspiration. 

'Our March cover star, Deepika Padukone is a dream,' wrote the mag as they unveiled their latest issue on Instagram. 

For the cover, the actor chose a silk crepe dress, and rounded off the look with 18K gold earrings, above. 

Dressed in a tulle outfit by designer Amit Aggarwal, below, Deepika soaked up the sun for her second look. 

She completed the look with a sterling bracelet and earrings from Tiffany. 

Flaunting her toned legs and famous curves, Deepika is the perfect inspiration for one's poolside look this summer.
