A Quick Change
Looks like there wasn’t much time to spare between the mahurat shot of Rana and the subsequent press meet for Ms. Padukone. The actress kept the choli blouse from the colorful half sari she donned for the mahurat, pairing it (the blouse) with a red sari for the press meet later on.
She looked great in red. Again.
Update: Deepika is in Neeta Lulla. Neeta is the costume designer for Rana.

really with the half boob drape? i thought u guys hated it
hair,makeup allright, eyebrows need a little improvement.
I agree. She looks tacky. And that red sari…well.
i agree…if not for the half boob show, i wld have liked these looks. but right now, its ewwwww…cheap and tacky…
This is one bad b*tch! (in a good way)! She is just smoking in the red sari! Love the blouse too! Great look!
haha..i know what you mean..!! as much as i hate one-boob-drape..she is looking too good for me to care about that!
She is just too beautiful not to look good in indian wear. Well, some people don’t have to try hard.
For someone who looks as classy as Ms Padukone, is it too much to ask that she NOT adopt the blatant, one-boob drape?
As soon as I see that awful one boob drape, I write the whole look off as a failure.
That draping style just disgusts me
The blouse is gorgeous but it doesn’t match the sari.. Deepika looks beautiful though.
Is it just me or does the first outfit look more like a lehnga that she’s worn the dupatta over like a sari?
While I think she looks great in both, I think the red look would worked better if she had chosen a more maroon shade of red, rather than the fire engine red to go with the choli.
Though I have to say, for once, she got her make-up incredibly right. Her face looks flawless at both events!
The first outfit is called a half-sari, a popular dress for young South Indian women 🙂
Yes it is actually a lehenga..
Its called a ‘Half saree’ in the South and most actresses there..
I think they also call it a ‘Pattu’ saree.. Not sure..
Half saree is the way of wearing the duppatta like that. It is a lehenga worn in half saree style. It is traditionally worn by girls from adolescence/puberty to just before marriage. It is even a school uniform in small towns in the south.
Pattu = silk. Pattu saree is silk saree.
Its called a “lehenga sari”.
Its found everywhere these days and is quite gaining in popularity.
Well, the first outfit is a half-sari, which by definition is basically a lehenga with a dupatta draped in that fashion.
I agree with you that the shade of red isn’t quite right, but she looks so great that it’s a small complaint.
thats it. i HAVE to have a half-sari in my wardrobe. they are so elgant.
looking fab in the red sari!!!
the first pic is an over doze of tacky! bad…….
i love it. love the colours..her skin is so nice… hair make up is aweome. she did well.
the “lehenga that’s she worn the dupatta over like a sari” IS a half-sari. rather, the lehenga is a half-sari with the dupatta worn differently.

Apart from the face , I dont like anything ….
hair and clothes in the first one is yuck
in the second pic the blouse seems to be a complete mismatch
for me , its a pathetic dressing sense
The Blouse is awesome………
she can really carry off any look in my opinion .doesnt matter if the blouse doesnt match the sari she looks great . And frankly i like this dis jointed look .
she looks gorgeous. i love her in the red.
Wow in red! I mostly hate the one-boob drape, but the blouse design is okay for this kind of drape. She looks gorgeous!
she is so beautiful, looks fabulous in red. Love the hair and make up.
Props for not wearing brown lipstick!
She looks soooo beautiful, i am totally not concerned about the one boob look. wish she had picked another color for the saree that would complement the colors in the blouse better. she rocks the look!
i’m going to ignore the half boob because actresses are incorrigible and putting their assets on display seems to be mandatory. but the whole pallu itself looks so poorly draped that it puts me off.. .
