Corsets are a dominant motif across her recent photoshoots – worn over shirts, sarees, or as standalone tops with wide-leg trousers.
Before Deepika Padukone, Bollywood actresses dressed either "traditionally" (for festivals) or "Western" (for parties). Her erased that binary. In a single Deepika Padukone fashion photoshoot , she can wear a Kanjeevaram sari with a leather jacket, then change into a Schiaparelli gown with safety pins as earrings.
Domination of black and nude tones in 2025-2026.
