The pressure to take fashion risks at Cannes is something that has challenged all celebrities making their red carpet appearances, but Deepika seems unfazed by all the pressure and stated that she doesn’t see it as a challenge and is present there to soak it all in and enjoy the experience.

So, it is safe to say, do not expect over the top high fashion, statement making appearances from Deepika Padukone, who is brushing off the expectations and fashion critics’ pressure and enjoying the platform she has been given.
Stay tuned for more updates from Cannes 2017!
