At the 2017 Vanity Fair Oscars party, Deepika Padukone wore a gown by Monique Lhuillier. The actor’s floor-length dress came with a dazzling sequin embellished gold skirt, a black corset-style bodice, a strapless square neckline showing off her decolletage, a figure-hugging silhouette accentuating her svelte frame, a floor-sweeping train on the back, and a plunging back.
Deepika accessorised the ensemble with dangling earrings and killer high heels. In the end, Deepika chose shimmering smoky eye shadow, winged eyeliner, mascara on the lashes, glossy nude lip shade, blushed cheekbones, dewy base, feathered brows, light contouring, and kohl-lined eyes. Side-parted open wavy goddess locks gave a finishing touch to Deepika’s Oscars look.
