Oscars 2023: Deepika Padukone misidentified in photos as Brazilian model Camila Alves

Indian actor Deepika Padukone made a stylish appearance at the Oscar Awards 2023, becoming only the third from the country to be named a presenter.

She is globally known as the face of Louis Vuitton but was still misidentified as Brazilian model Camila Alves, who is married to actor Matthew McConaughey.

On Twitter, users shared screenshot of the Getty Images feed, which confused the Indian actor with Alves.
