Bollywood star Deepika Padukone made India proud as she made her debut at the Oscars 2023 presenting an award.
She reflected old-Hollywood glam by wearing an off-shoulder jet-black Louis Vuitton velvet gown.
She complemented her oh-so-Audrey Hepburn look with a center-parted messy bun, Opera gloves, and statement diamond jewels.
Padukone also flaunted her new neck tattoo dedicated to her skincare brand 82E.
Sizzling entry

Custom-made by Shantanu & Nikhil, the outfit's main highlight was the stylish golden broach.
