In Swapnil Shinde & Tutla
Wearing a Swapnil Shinde shirt with patent pants from Tutle, Deepika attended the GQ Men Of The Year Awards on Thursday evening. I really do want to like this look but to me, it feels like her stylist saw an image of a celebrity/influencer do this combo, really liked it on them, and decided that she should try it on Ms. Padukone.
I have said this before, when talking about Priyanka (Chopra), and I am going to repeat it, I wish our ladies would take a piece of the runway and make it their own, than looking like a mirror image of their Hollywood counterparts. The celebs tend to look like they are chasing a trend and that is never a good thing.
And along with that note, those pants seem heavily inspired by the Proenza Schouler ones, which in itself is bizarre, considering she has worn the cotton versions of them already!

My eyes! The outfit looks so tacky – those leather pants in the scorching heat?! So much ‘posing’ as well. As you said, I wish the stylist didn’t just try to blindly follow trends!
She would definitely want to hide these photos and shoudl!!!
OMG that shirt, leather pants and the weird poses. Nothing is working.
A very unfortunate shadow. The shadow makes her look extremely “healthy”.
Wow , That’s a shadow ?! Thank u .. Cos here I was wondering how on earth does DEEPIKA PADUKONE look fat that too in leather pants . The shadow is so so subtle here . You have to realllllly concentrate and see to make out the shadow falling around her . And DP, Please. Fire. Shaleena
OMG !! It takes a lot of effort for Ms Padukone to look bad. She looks great even in a rag but this outfit is next level.
And I agree this is just not her.
This outfit just doesn’t work in real life. It doesn’t tell you anything about the person wearing it other than they have money to spend on clothes and no personal style.
Adding to the woes is the fact that the outfit by itself is tacky.
What is she doing there? Magic tricks?
is it just me or does she look reeealllly similar to Shaleena in these pics?
shaleena is busy promoting herself on social media and she makes deepika just like herself or what she would wear. this is such a bad look
A miss. Can’t believe that Deepika dressed so tacky.
Fine, she dressed up with the whole hair and makeup, but couldn’t she just take a glance at the mirror and ditch those pants for a simpler wide leg version? Like is that so hard to figure out when one piece is clearly not working? Mind boggling stuff. The posing is so desperate too.
Neck up though, I think this non-chipkoo hair and make up looks good on her.
The worst she has ever looked.. n boy she doesn’t have bad days. I feel her face …she knows it too
It’s my firm belief that shaleena and Deepika are not a good fit. Everything comes out over styled. And I think you do a disservice to your client if your own looks come off more polished and together than your bread and butter’s. DP’s track at GQ events has been a bit in the “huh! What” area.
The makeup and. Hair adding to her woes. The pants are the best part of the look. The shirt is very costumy and ill-fitting. The worst part is the dreaded necklace and earrings shudder tackastic.
Why Deepika why? Such a beautiful girl and what a waste of a look.
Shaleena really needs to up her game. I’ve lived Deepika when Anaita styled her but last 2 years her looks are getting boring same old same old, frumpy and plain tacky now
Who else actually misses Deepika and her poofy Ponytail and the softer styling? These pictures made me really upset. Not being dramatic, but of all the outfits she could have donned… She was given this?
Would love to see some simple styling on her like what Alia al rufai is doing with anushka or even like the Ami Patel-alia combo. Please change your stylist Deepika!
Forget the stylist….Y dint DP look into a mirror??!! Horrid make up, tacky outfit. A major let down this !
Another example of how money can buy you clothes/designers but it cant buy you elegance/creativity.
Just wrong. This.
Hey Payal!
Loved what you just wrote. Bang on. Have always felt that all the Indian celebrities ever pictured with an ‘Off-white’ design just don’t seem to own it ever. From the malaikas to the alias. Exactly what you said.
On this occasion I guess the stylist was inspired by some hip-hop artist. Just didn’t land well. At all. And that shirt! Seems to be the job of a glorified tailor called designer.
She literally looks like she’s wearing a fat suit
Was she standing like this the whole evening….
Wannabe Beyoncé.. head to toe
Congratulations Deepika now you are qualified to be featured on diet sabya!
YUUUUUCK!!!! Fire Shaleena . oh sorry! Deepika does not have a mirror at home
Please for God sake hire a new stylist.
Agree, Shaleena, whoever her stylist, god she needs to change her.. Deepika is fab, why cant she wear some nice linen sarees or some stylists like Jukaler:) she should hire him.. he is superb. also Deepika is looking very uncomfortable OMG, those ear rings..Please Save her.
Just one advise…FIRE Shaleena. She does absolutely nothing for DP & they are just not a harmonious match. This looks comical actually and what’s going on with the desperate posing? Btw, this is by far the most constructive analysis of a look/trend posted by P&P on this forum.
Ho do you manage to make deepika look fat??? HOW?
I know imagine how golu-molu us regular folks would look in this monstrosity!!
Those pants do nothing for her!
Unbelievable. Multiplying the effect of horrific styling was the pose by deepika. How can a stylist spoil the reputation of a gorgeous Diva continuously on all major events including Metgala. As somebody wrote, I still love the Deepika with a poofy pony, Smokey eyes and simple girl look.
all sorts of tacky and the beyonce pose is something that only bey can pull off
Is it just me…she looks like she has huge bottom and legs ? But she is opposite wit no skin ..has that to do with styling or photograpahy/posing ? 😛
It’s the shadow caused by the camera flashes and not proper lighting at the event.
Okay, I am a big time DP fangirl BUT this is too hard to take.
I gave her chipku hair a pass and even the tassle earring monstrosity she wore at Mtv awards or something just because she can carry it off decently. But THIS IS TERRIBLE.
The top, hair, makeup, pants everything is so so so so so bad. People are fed up and everyone knows Shaleena by now..the terrible stylist of DP.. even my mom knows her. She made DP go from fab to drab to desperate.
I wonder why she always sticks with her. I just hope and pray Shaleena doesn’t style her for her wedding or some memorable occasion.
Go back to Anaita Shroff Adjania NOW. Excuse me while I refresh my eyes with some Cocktail looks.
Yes please please please fire Shaleena. DP looks so nice in her self styled casual appearances you don’t need this Nathani chick! Please look in the mirror and trust your own gut… and speak out!
Yah I still remember her Cannes look .. simple white T-shirt with jeans and she looked amazing in it … so effortless and chic … nothing overdone
During cocktail days, Deepika came across hip, confident & just fab! It was also the time when DP could do no wrong & became the national crush! She seems like a different person these past couple of years! Pretty much all her looks seem ‘wannabe’ & her signature confidence is GONE GONE GONE! 🙁 sigh!
It’s time people stopped blaming just Shaleena for these monstrosities of looks. DP is a grown-ass adult, been in the industry for many many years, and should have at least some idea of what works for her (as an actress, a former model, and just on a human level because everyone looks in the mirror once in a while?!) Shame that someone that was once so stylish now looks like this in spite of being one of the most beautiful faces in the business!
Co Sign! One can fault a stylist only so much! After all this time one can only conclude that DP has no sense of style of her own (so mindlessly follows what the stylists puts out). Also, that she does not own a mirror and lacks friends who call a spade a spade!
I love the blouse but pairing it with those leather pants just looked awkward !!
