Cheers to Miss Padukone.

Hello,

So we are in the New Year already, with loads and loads of missions to fulfill. For me I am living each day as it’s approaching. Today was a beautiful day for me; it was gurupurab, went to Gurudwara with family, did Sewa, had langar and relished each and every moment.

In the afternoon after all this when I came home, I was just going through all my social media pages and realized that today is the birthday of our Bollywood empress who is a complete combination of elegance and sexy. She as an actress has grown with every movie and has given us fabulous style statements in the films.

Our one and only Deepika Padukone, so today on her special day here’s a quick recap of her top five films which gave us some serious fashion goals.

               COCKTAIL

This movie not only created news for its box office success but it was also the talk of the town for Deepika’s style. Firstly she dared to choose the role of Veronica instead of Meera. The rebel young girl living in London who is also an aspiring photographer had great fashion sense. From her full volume lioness hair to experimenting with hairstyles to her cool make up with smoky eyes and those heels and accessories were the picture-perfect accompaniment to her costumes. Few of my favourite from the lot were her olive green backless gown, her opening scene outfit (bralet with a sheer top and mini skirt) or a simple pallazo paired with a tank top, all the girls surely are guilty of trying atleast one look from Veronica’s wardrobe.

2          OM SHANTI OM

This was her debut film with King Khan of Bollywood Mr. SRK and not even once did she look a newbie. She shared the screen space with Mr. Khan with great poise. She looked like a delicate idol of sheer elegance in those over top bouffants with crystals and roses and that winged eyeliner, Uff, maar daala. Her beautiful retro outfits as Shanti Priya were definitely a style statement. Be it those Bell-bottom pants with tight fitted Kurtis, shararas or those polka tops with retro glasses, loved it all.

              PIKU

So this one is my personal favourite, be it the movie, the character of the film or her costumes. The idea was delivered with such simplicity we just fell for it. Piku was a mature independent woman taking care of her father and all the responsibilities in a city like Delhi. After so long saw a heroine in such a girl next-door avatar. She didn’t just create news for her glamorous roles but also was in headlines for her simple yet chic avatar. From her sweatshirts to her basic shirts with jeans and not to forget to mention her ethnic mix and match culottes with Kurtas and scarves. Her jewelry and that bindi was perfect to complete her look.

YEH JAWAANI HAI DEEWANI

How can I not mention this film when we are talking about Deepika and her style statements, her transformation from a young nerdy student in those printed tops and dresses layered with jackets to a liberated doctor in all the more sexy avatar in the second half of the film made us all go gaga over it. Her outfits were surely on the shopping list of all the brides and bridesmaids, be it those simple suits or sexy electric blue sari and not to mention that orange and pink one shouldered choli with a tiered lehenga, perfect for a summer wedding.

           

           RAM LEELA

Last but not the least, this film not only took Deepika’s career a notch higher because of some serious critical acclamation for her power packed performance and blazing chemistry with Mr. Singh but also made all girls fall in love with those earthy colored heavy ghagras all over again. The color story of those ghagras was completely different from deep reds to blacks to ivories, with that beautiful Gujarati style mini tattoos all over and not to mention that stunning temple jewellery she adorned with those outfits. Her song Nagade sang Dhol is still a hit with those dance steps during Navaratri season.

So cheers to Miss Padukone and wishing her happy birthday the Cine Closet way. We already can’t wait to see her do the Hollywood debut in XXX, releasing next week. Stay tuned for more fun posts.

Love,

Cine Closet.
