In Marcell von Berlin
38
Deepika’s final event at Cannes 2018 was the Chopard party to which she wore a Marcell Von Berlin gown with emerald and diamond Chopard jewellery. Hair in a sleek top knot, her look was finished out with smoky eyes.
We’ve been hoping more pics would be released but no luck so far. Wish there were though, because she looked muy caliente. Even though the cape-sleeved gowns have been done to death.

“Even though the cape-sleeved gowns have been done to death.” talk about back-handed compliments. She looks amazing. Period.
It’s a fact though.
Gown is fierce but hair and makeup are underwhelming yet again. Would have loved to see her (previously) signature messy high bun.
She looks gorgeous but the look is a dead ringer for the Morticia Adams outfit
I know I will get a lot of flake for this comment- here are my two cents. A commoner ( you/me) or for the matter even DP without her security ppl will not even dare to walk on Indian streets with such a dress. Call me old fashioned/backward/whatever, many of us are moms to daughters here- a genuine question to you all- will you allow her to walk out of the house in such a dress/ or remotely close to this dress? What is fashion when common ppl can’t buy it/wear it.? I really never get it.
That’s a good question. But it can be debated that red carpet fashion is not wearable fashion. It doesn’t have to be like that and some celebrities are moving towards more practical sustainable choices but for now that’s the exception rather than the norm.
Why would you police your adult child’s body and clothes, and why would you think such body policing was a good or appropriate metric to measure fashion by?
Trying to understand the implication here…
Is it that the sleeves make it impractical to walk on the streets? Though this is never intended to be hang out casually on the streets dress
And a lot of red carpet dresses are meant to be high fashion and/or couture…where you appreciate the artistry of the designer. Most run way clothes are toned down into ready-to-wear
Or is it that the fact that she is showing cleavage that wouldn’t allow Mums to allow their daughters to wear it on the streets…or for DP to wear it without security guards? In which case – WHAT?? “Allow a daughter” to walk out? Is the implication that by showing skin, a woman is asking for attention and thus putting herself at risk? I’d say maybe mums of sons shouldn’t allow them to walk out of the house if they can’t keep their hands to themselves in that case!
I certainly hope you meant the former and not the latter
I think the commoners will be able to walk freely wearing whatever they want, when people like you won’t think that way. I mean the only thing that stood out for you in this look was her neckline. We will be able to wear any kinds clothes on street when people like you will stop staring at us and teach your children to not stare at someone wearing anything. Because someone wearing anything on the street is non of your business. And we talk about feminism….. in gender equality and fundamental rights…. a lady who is an adult… doesn’t need your or anybody’s permission to wear whatever she wants. She does not need anybody to ‘ALLOW’ her.
Genie: Your statement makes it seem as if the onus on not getting raped/sexually assaulted or cat called lies on women. It does not. We all see that women are assaulted and sexualized no matter what they wear: from a saree to a mini skirt and regardless of their age or socio economic status. I lived in India as a young girl and I experienced cat calling on a daily basis as I went to a school from the ages of 9-13 when I wore my school uniform. Instead of shaming women, perhaps we could spend a bit more time on raising boys who respect women and move from rape culture to consent culture. As far as Deepika is concerned, she looks va va voom in this dress.
Well, all the brave talks look good behind a screen on a virtual world. Reality is far far more different. Young bloods are brought up good, it’s the entertainment/media that’s corrupting their mind. Protraying women as just objects of desire( read ever so popular item numbers, even a 7 year old can sing/enact them oh so fluently) .Also the easy access to everything. Thanx to ever growing high speed internet. Next time when you are getting ready to attend a function- just think if you will be able to wear it to the crowd there. Typing here is much easy than actually executing it- I leave you with that thought.
I actually want to thank Genie for her comments because as a survivor and an activist who has been working to end violence against women for the past 20 years, I am reminded of how much work we need to do in our communities to change victim blaming attitudes and beliefs. I am not just writing from a virtual world. This is my every day reality and that of many of us.
Wow! This just blew my mind ..so all the rapists are brought up as good lads; It’s all these titillating media forcing them to gi around raping and molesting the babies/girls/older women?
@ genie So by your logic, its the “bad woman” who tempts the “man” into raping / assaulting other “good women”.. wow, way to go!!
if only women like you could focus more on making men responsible for their own actions than blaming women, it would be such a better world!
as someone already mentioned, rape is never about clothes (or else babies in diapers wouldnt ever be rape victims) – its about misogyny. Which your comment is a prime example of!
This reply reminds me of all the work that needs to be done to resolve rape culture. A women’s body is not an inherently shameful or sinful thing. Neither is the rapist an innocent mind led astray by media. These are all the sad tragic excuses used by misogynists to make themselves feel morally superior about their choices! I am so tired by this vitriol spewed by women so sold on their own subjugation, that they will raise the next generation of mal-adjusted innocent media tempted rapists and blame the daughters of their sisters for morally corrupting their poor rapist boys.
Ok that just made me crack up – “young bloods being corrupted by media”. The media is not in the business of educating our sons, we are
The media is for entertainment and fashion. Sure there are somethings I’d love to change like “item songs”…but can’t blame the very apparent rape culture of our country on the media
It is in the upbringing of our boys and girls. Where we place the onus of ensuring thier safety on just girls like you do here while forgetting to focus on teaching boys respect. That men and women are equal and have body autonomy. So a girl or woman can wear whatever she wants and makes her feel good. It does not mean she’s asking for it
So yes this not just “brave talk”… in reality i choose to wear what I like when I like. My body my choice
I didn’t even know what to say , looks like the awesome people on here did the job. How dare you blame “media” and ” easy access to internet” and “item songs” for the horrific rape culture that seems to be so prevalent in India ( and other countries where women are seen as a commodity)? No love, its people like you who aren’t raising their boys right – I live in LA and Dubai and I assure you, I dress however I want and i don’t have to worry about people thinking I’m ‘asking for it’ in doing so. The guys I’ve come across would NEVER presume something based on my attire – this should give you an insight of nature vs nurture. Raise your kids right – a person’s moral compass is their own to wield. Don’t be part of the problem.
Yes why not.. Commoners like u n me can wear such dress at high fashion parties, fashion shows, even i have seen people wearing such clothes at wedding.. Its really normal when occasion appropriate..
Just a thought. Rather than all of us policing Genie, we should understand what are her fears deep down. Lets not fight one-woman-against-another. She is afraid to wear such dresses or let her daughter wear such dresses, not because she is promoting rape culture, but because everybody wants to safeguard themselves against being THE VICTIM. Nobody wants to be the victim, right? And of course, the rapist doesnt care if u are in a saree or shorts; if u are old or an infant. But even when u step out, lets say in shorts- all those people staring at you like they are gonna eat your legs.. like u r titillating them somehow..It shakes your very existence..! There r times when me n my friends covered ourselves with dupattas- not ‘because we were doing anything wrong by wearing shorts’ ; but because we were tired of people staring us like a piece of meat. Even take for example goa, I am not comfortable wearing bikini in Goa.. Whereas, take me someplace abroad, I wouldnt bit an eyelid. So my point is even though women are not the cause of rapes; even though your dressing is immaterial – yet there are times we fall to more conservative choices not because we are wrong, but because of people who make us feel like piece of meat, who ruin the whole experience for us.
This was what Genie meant (I suppose).. And till we are faced with a world who doesnt STARE OR MAKE US FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE for what we are wearing, there would be times when people would be scared to dress in a particular way.
Why do you expect that art, in any form, should only imitate or depict real life? Why to put art in a small, narrow box? Fashion or any other art form is an expression of someone’s creativity and imagination – both of which, ideally, should be boundless. You either like it or not – thats subjective.
Secondly, are you implying that girls/women, anywhere in the world, are not harassed or molested if they are covered from head to toe? Are you saying that a woman walking down the road wearing a neckline as above, is asking for it? I think its time we make men/boys/sons responsible for their actions. Lets raise our sons to be respectful and know that they are not privileged beings walking on earth, who can get what they want when they want it.
P and P – sorry for this rant and off topic comment. I usually try to shy away from discussions on this blog which are not pertaining to the post and fashion, but this just got my goat. As for Deepika – she looks smoking hot!
Someone mentioned in previous post that heavy smokey eyes are making her look tired. Now, even I agree!
She should have worn this for metgala, with a black crown/tiara.
I dunno. The choices are correct, the dress fits beautifully, makeup on point, etc. And yet, dislike this look. Probably because in my view, Deepika is most attractive when she looks like a 70s Italian movie star- big hair, glowing skin, bright colors. This makes her look like an exquisitely beautiful vampire bat.
She seems to channeling Shaleena’s Morticia Adams! Also, in her flower maxi look for the previous day.
She looks fabulous!
She looks great…but the dress is underwhelming
Genie is right in that media does portray women as objects of desire….and the standards are too hight for the commoner. Objectively speaking- most middle class Indians would not wear this to a wedding in India. It is passes for France.
You’re contradicting yourself. It passes for France, but people in India would not wear it? Is France in India?
Maybe what you both are saying is true, but that doesn’t make it (objectification of women and victim-blaming culture) right. And let’s be real, if celebrities wore what commoners wore, would you even care to visit this site? Then you’d say they have all the resources but don’t use them effectively. Cannes is all about high fashion, and from that perspective this qualifies. Now it’s a different thing that I personally don’t love this look because of the hair and makeup.
Hi namesake! I was pretty taken aback when i saw a comment i hadnt made with my name and then realised that am not the only person named Alisha hahaa :p
Again V-neck ? Just that this time with wings !!!
I must say she looked really good but it was repetitive
P&P I say u must feature Araya on ur site .. she took Cannes to another level and every year I must say !
The poses in the first two pics are Halloween-worthy. Also, this a truly boring look. Could have covered someone else instead.
#fireshaleena
“muy caliente” would imply she’s very horny! 🙂 The phrase you’re looking for is muy rico.
“muy rica” – my bad!
Not convinced about the neckline for Deepika and not sure if it’s the most flattering for her. But for the rest, girl is bringing it!!
She looks incredible!!!
The commentary on this site is so bizarre. Horrid makeup and her face looks awful yet only adulation….
