What Should Deepika Wear At The BAFTAs?

February 15, 2024 09:36 IST

Last year, Deepika Padukone made her debut at the Oscars as a presenter and wowed everyone with her elegant style choice.

Now, she's all set to present at the BAFTA Awards on Sunday, alongside David Beckham, Dua Lipa, Cate Blanchett and many more.

While we are sure Dips will make a style statement at the red carpet, Namrata Thakker presents some looks we think she should definitely consider for the starry event.

If Deepika wants to raise the temperature at the red carpet, she should wear a form-fitting gown in velvet and finish off her look with minimal makeup and a sexy hairdo.

Or she can channel her fiery personality and opt for a red outfit, with matching shoes and statement red lips.

We would love it if Deepika flaunts her desi avatar at the BAFTAs by draping six yards of elegance along with some dramatic eye-makeup.

Something ethnic in black and gold with heavy embroidery would look just as stunning.

How about Deepika slaying a well-fitted billowy floral gown with a deep neckline? She sure knows how to make florals look uber stylish.

If there's a particular look that the actress can never go wrong with, it's a black body-con, floor-length gown with exquisite diamond jewellery.

Leather outfits are never easy to pull off but if Dippy wears one, she'll own it like a queen!

A mermaid style gown in a bold, bright colour with eye-grabbing structured sleeves would grab everyone's attention for all the right reasons.

A heavily embellished pantsuit with a floor-sweeping cape is the perfect blend of Indian craftsmanship with Western style.

For a change, wouldn't it be nice to see the gorgeous lady promote androgynous style on the red carpet? Ms Padukone would kill it in an oversized power-suit with a sleek hairdo.
