From Cannes to Hollywood premieres, Deepika Padukone has long been a global fashion force, proudly representing India on international red carpets. Now, the actor has added yet another milestone to her glittering journey by becoming the first Indian to serve on the jury of the prestigious Louis Vuitton Prize 2025.
As a global ambassador for Louis Vuitton, Deepika joined an illustrious panel featuring fashion stalwarts including Stella McCartney, Marc Jacobs, Sarah Burton, Nicolas Ghesquière, Phoebe Philo, Silvia Venturini Fendi, Nigo, Jonathan Anderson, and Pharrell Williams. Top LVMH executives Delphine Arnault, Jean-Paul Claverie, and Sidney Toledano also form part of the jury. The final round took place on September 3 at Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris, where the jury selected a winner from eight talented finalists.
Sharing her excitement on Instagram, Deepika wrote: “Congratulations to all the winners! I cannot wait for the world to witness your magic!” Her warm message reflected both her pride in the emerging designers and her enthusiasm for the platform that champions new talent.
For the occasion, the 39-year-old star made a dazzling fashion statement in a head-turning Louis Vuitton look. She wore an oversized silk shirt splashed with bold abstract prints in shades of yellow and brown, featuring a deep collared neckline. The loose silhouette was perfectly balanced with a shimmering golden mini skirt designed with floor-sweeping fringe details that added drama to her ensemble.
Accessorising with her signature flair, Deepika opted for chunky golden stud earrings, sleek high heels, and a classic black handbag. Her makeup exuded understated sophistication with nude eyeshadow, winged eyeliner, and a touch of blush paired with a rich brown-nude lipstick.
