Deepika Padukone keeps India proud on the international fashion platform. From making waves at Cannes to being the face of leading global campaigns, the Bollywood actress has now made another big achievement becoming the first Indian to be a juror for the prestigious Louis Vuitton (LVMH) Prize 2025 in Paris.
A Historic First for India
Deepika, Louis Vuitton global brand ambassador, was part of a distinguished lineup of international fashion legends serving on this year’s LVMH Prize jury. Some of the other names present on the panel were Stella McCartney, Marc Jacobs, Nicolas Ghesquière, Pharrell Williams, and other industry stalwarts such as Sarah Burton, Phoebe Philo, Silvia Venturini Fendi, Jonathan Anderson, and Nigo.
Confirming her appointment, luxury group LVMH posted on Instagram:
“DEEPIKA PADUKONE FOR LOUIS VUITTON: 2025 LVMH PRIZE JURY MEMBER. We are thrilled to announce that the legendary Deepika Padukone will be on this year’s LVMH Prize final jury.”
The final of the esteemed competition will take place on September 3 at the Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris, where eight young designers will battle it out for the grand prize.
Deepika’s Bold Paris Look Steals the Show
Never one to be afraid of making a fashion statement, Deepika hogged the limelight in her striking outfit for the jury function in Paris. Dressed in a daring Louis Vuitton outfit, she sported an oversized silk shirt with abstract yellow and brown prints, complemented by a dazzling golden mini skirt with floor-length fringe.
She topped off her look with daring golden stud earrings, stylish black heels, a timeless LV handbag, and a nicely coiffed bun. Her Parisian-style makeup included nude shades, chiseled cheeks, and a rich nude-brown lipstick, reflecting a flawless mix of glamour and poise.
