Deepika Padukone set the red carpet on fire when she stepped out looking glamourous in a deep green velvet gown. The 83-actress and producer’s custom-made ensemble was designed by Gauri & Nainika, who expressed that they wanted to create something very classic and timeless for Deepika. And velvet was the obvious choice! December has always been a month of celebration, be it weddings, festivities, or red-carpet season. Everyone loves to dress up and be super glamorous. “Velvet is an obvious choice as it is incredibly chic and luxurious and keeps you warm as well. Nothing like matching a velvet dress with a string of pearls or diamonds and some red lipstick,” add the designer duo Gauri & Nainika.
Celebrating Deepika’s style and giving the luxurious fabric a twist of their own, the designer duo wanted to create something very classic and timeless for Deepika. But at the same time, they wanted it to be extremely glamourous and sensual because that’s very much her style. “The plunging neckline and figure-hugging silhouette with the long train, all in a deep green velvet, was perfect for her tall and statuesque frame,” says Gauri & Nainika, adding, “We have always been inspired by old world glamour and there was no one better to carry it off than her. Shaleena [Nathani] was very keen on creating a super chic look for her and she styled it flawlessly with an old Hollywood hairdo, makeup, and a stunning necklace”
However, Deepika wasn’t the first one to give velvet the much-needed attention this December. Earlier this month, her husband and every stylist’s dream when it comes to experimentation Ranveer Singh’s donned a Gucci ochre velvet screen printed suit paired with a mustard velvet hat. Though we aren’t surprised with his avant-garde fashion choices, we love how he took velvet to another level.

Busting some myths about the chic fabric, the designer duo shared that some people think that velvet adds bulk to the body but that isn’t true. “It all depends on the cut and the design of the garment. There are many different kinds of velvet, and all have their own charm,” expresses Gauri & Nainika.
So, this festive season give your outfit the velvet touch and experiment away!
