In Gaurav Gupta
Deepika walked the IIFA Awards green carpet on Wednesday night wearing a custom Gaurav Gupta gown. The detached sleeves were already a bit much for my taste but then add to that the feathered mile-long ghunghat-train (what else am I gonna call it?) and all love was lost.
Only thing to like for me here was the color. Your thoughts?

Can someone please tell DP and her team that her wedding is over?
And that she’s not at the over exaggerated amfars, met, cannes and all that.
I mean…sure but who in their right mind would wear it anywhere let alone a wedding!
Ranveer is her new stylist
like Kanye is Kim’s!!
Nahiiiiiiiiiiiiii
No no no no no…
(This is me finally coming to terms that she is a lost cause as a big fan.. I know I’m very late.)
So long DP… I wonder where we lost you along the way.
She’s trying too hard off late.. to be this diva/superstar/goddess.. she needs to calm down and be the relatable & lovable star she was..
Exactly my thoughts. She is trying way too hard to a result like this. Feathers, exaggerated sleeves, dupatta on the head and a tram. Seriously??
True..it seems she has this image that she thinks she needs to live up to with every appearance..be it at a temple or an awards show..it would do her good to tone it down few notches at times..
She’s having her “I’m too beautiful I can pull off anything” phase
Looks like Kylies Met gala look hangover? This is pathetic beyond imagination..
It looks like a cheap replica of it!
O.o
Sis, no.
Now that’s serving so serious drama on the carpet. Keep ROCKING the carpet. Thank god. No STATUS QUO. ???
She looks like those hoarding hobos who have all thier possessions on them.
Needs to take off those sleeves, that ghunghat (rightly called), those ugly earrings, wipe of that extra eye makeup, loosen up the hair. And replace all that with a smile.
But why?
I actually love it! The dress looks great on her figure and the colour compliments her so well. And that dress is so extra just like her!
she has never been extra..so it’s exactly opposite of her
GOOD LORD. Why does Shaleena Nathani insist on putting Deepika in such over the top gowns?
i am convinced it is DP who wants it..
CAN DEEPIKA PLEASE CHANGE HER STYLIST.
This is beyond ridiculous.
Can she please wear a normal gown for once?
How did/will she sit for hours with so much material?
Deepika and Shaleena has a far greater love story than Deepika and Ranveer/Ranbir. Otherwise how can she keep Shaleena around after all these disasters?
get rid of that veil thingy and the sleeve thingy and maybe, just maybe, this would’ve earned a pass. i’m not sure at all about that weird lilac/mauve colour on her gorgeous skin either.
sigh. so much gorgeousess. so much cluelessness.
So true.. that’s a beautiful color on her. There’s a comical video of her crew managing and placing the extension cloth on floor for her walking behind her while she poses n all
why is she trying to be like ranveer. ranveer has a personality to pull off these funky multi color looks but deepika is not made for this
Is this what happens when you become a big/rich/successful enough star? She is living in her own little bubble where this is somehow a “look.” SMH
Why does she keep wearing possible met gala looks to other events?? Nahiiiiiiiii bhagwan ke liye CHOD THO
She looks like the Fairy Godmother waiting for her Cinder”fella” to arrive in a converted watermelon.
This is a different level of extra.. bordering on tacky .. Her on the other hand, divine !
Probably flipping Priyanka Chopra the bird…pun intended. If not in Hollywood, I can outdo you train with my purple feathered one! Joke apart, the outfit is so attention seeking for IIFA awards.
I repeat, these guys have no sense of style. They just try to copy Hollywood stars and fail miserably!
So true!! These guys AND girls, I must add..
Well someone arrived to the MET gala a few months late…..no words for this custom faux pas.
Reminiscent of Kylie Jenner’s Met Gala Versace gown in head to toe lilac / lavender. Instead of purple hair though she went with a purple train….but of a miss. She doesn’t have the boobs to fill out this silhouette.
Just because she can carry off a lot of ridiculous stuff, doesn’t mean you have to put her in ridiculous stuff on purpose!
Designers and stylists be like: we got DP, time to use the ridiculous outfit that no one else can wear.
Well said! Perfect example of the designer going crazy with his imagination and then expecting her to pull it off.
I love the gown…the train is a bit too dramatic though.
Oh no !
She has started looking like a joker just like her husband. The desperation for attention is too damn high.
This is beyond ugly. So tacky that they copied Kylie’s look and made it 10 times worse and then paraded on the red carpet as if she did something amazing.
I got a hearty laugh thanks to this ‘costume’. Halloween came early!!!!
Hr stylist lost the memo yet again…dressed her up for Cannes instead of IIFA. Deepika evidently favours excess but that ghunghat trail is a serious eyesore…the gown minus the hanging sleeves and that ghunghat could still have been salvaged. As is…its just too much going on. Soonzy middle parted oily hair and big earrings yet again. Lord!!!
This is way too exaggerated with all these dramatic elements..ghunghat, feather trail etc.etc. all in one look..esp.at an awards show..Had it been some event asking for high drama like the MET gala or something, one could have made peace with this outfit..
It’s disappointing that these stars do not have a sound judgements as to what and how much they should go for and where they should STOP..As a result they end up looking like this..
If you saw how bizarre ranveer Singh looked, you would realise that they are going in for the most ridiculous couple of the year award.
So many elements competing- the veil which salman nearly tripped over rightly so, the pointy neckline, the sequins then the feathers then the arm bands.
This is a woman who wore a bland princess gown to the Met Gala and then this over designed absurdity to iifa, Mumbai.
Just proves how inept her stylist is and she herself has no sense of style herself.
hahaha ..yes i saw the video where Salman had this WTF! look on his face when he saw the
veil. Maybe she was like hey i also need a very long veil like PC but since my wedding is long over i will wear it at IIFA. What is her obsession with birds? She dressed like one in Cannes and last year also she dressed like a prehistoric microraptor in that pink dress with her tongue sticking out at Cannes. Does she equate lot of feathers = high fashion/innovative?
I agree with every comment here. Ridiculous! Does she not have the guts to tell her stylist, uhh may be no the head piece Shaleena, can we do it without it? why does she have to say yes to everything she’s asked or suggested to wear? I do agree that ranveer may be her stylist and what the hell was HE wearing? Uffda!!
absolute disaster… better not attend and save us some nightmares….
feel bad because her potential is endless…
The dress is fun. Gets the attention it deserves. Hopefully she dint carry this trail to the main event. And cmon what is red carpet without any fun and surprise.
Even colour is not suiting her! Major fail!
She has officially lost it! hence proved, even someone with her gorgeous face cant carry off EVERYTHING
OTT weirdness. different is good, but this is wayyyy too odd
WOW. Dont these celebs have mirrors? How could anyone agree to step outside like this. The mind boggles
I can rightly say, I’ve seen it all.
Fresh hell on earth.
I think her make up and hair are getting repetitive. Her hairstyle and eye make up reminds me of that metgala look where she wore that white satin dress. She has tried a different colour than her usual black or white. I think she likes these puffed up dramatic sleeves. If you go through the archive she wears similar structured dresses!!
May be its time to bring down critique on Shaleena a notch. In her recent interview, Deepika did mention that to go with the hairpiece with the Cannes Green gown was her decision and that her stylist was sceptical. Perhaps, it is the star who wants a particular look and Bollywood isn’t accustomed to leaving styling to stylists to do their jobs ( look at Aishwarya and Aastha). I was once in an elevator with a leading actor who asked his entourage about weather and they were too reverent to tell him it was raining outside, hence his scheduled performance was going to get delayed. In Deepika’s as well as many others, It could very well be a case of Emperors new clothes.
how the hell does one walk about in that monstrosity !!
I think she is bored of all. so she went with Ranveer’s foot steps;)
Skip the train, veil and the detached sleeves, it would have looked much better…and yes Shaleena, the wedding is over !
Forget the stylist, wasn’t there a mirror somewhere on the way??!!
Strangely DP does not have a personality that can pull off these OTT looks. Such a fab body, yet she does this to herself!
Sorry didn’t mean this to be a reply. Comment got posted here
Why try to transform yourself into half bride, half peacock, half JLo, half Kylie.. wait how many halves were it?
Ugh – what was she thinking??! This is possibly her worst ever look.
Deepika, tsk, tsk. smh.
Straight to comment s 😉
Are these designers using real feathers? I hope not. Killing birds for such useless drama 🙁
it’s too early for Halloween
I saw her interview & she said she likes to wear such stuff and has been consciously trying to wear something different (horrendous IMO) but yeah if she wants to wear it, she will continue to do so and we get to witness and gossip?
That’s not a train, it’s a train wreck. there’s drama and then there’s straight out nautanki. And this borders on that.
Everyone of you have has already written everything and really her stylist needs to see the result of making this disaster. I am amazed that if non-celebrities like us normal people can hunt the best gowns, outfits even from high street fashion brands needle and thread, Topshop unique ,HM wedding dress (new collection beyond amazing ) , going bit higher Self Portrait ,Zimmermann , Ganni, Acne studio . Damn, what happens to the brain of celebrities why do they show up disastrous ! its unanswered question for me. I dont work in glamour industry but make sure before stepping out or attending any event that i dont do blunder . Just saying 🙂
I think the answer is , they are trying to stand and out , be noticed, so can’t wear what we or anyone else is wearing . So they tend go OTT. And that’s what Deepika was aiming for IMO. Failing miserably though. She has zero sense of style ( never did) and am guessing she isn’t listening to her stylist. Coz no stylist in their right mind would churn out this atrocious look .
I think that normal (non-celebrities) people who dress well, do so because of one or a combination of the following factors- inherent taste, cultivation and honing of said taste, access (to trends, social media, money) and time invested in all the above.
Deepika’s problem is a lack of taste, over confidence and trust in Shaleena and (this might be recent) a stupid desire to keep in tandem with her husband’s style. I was looking at her earlier IIFA appearances and she looked so good.
Very well said 🙂
For once I don’t envy her _/\_ Thank God I am myself 😀
What the heck was Deepika thinking? such beauty and yet zero personal style!! Its during such drama episodes that you end up valuing actors like Anushka who dresses with character which reflects in her styling.
