On Thursday, Padukone was spotted wearing red tie-and-dye denims by French designer Isabel Marant at an event in Mumbai. The look was well coordinated with a white tank top and fishtail braid. Internationally, actors Jessica Alba, Drew Barrymore and model Elle Macpherson have recently sported colourful tie-and-dye pants.

Indian designers see it as the ‘it’ trend. Designer Anupama Dayal says, “After being severely criticised, tie-and-dye has still been a popular trend with tops and kurtis. And now it’s refreshing to see Deepika being experimental and donning a tie-and-dye bottom. In fact, these days at various fashion weeks across the globe, you’d find tie and dye bottoms in all different styles. It would soon be picked up by youngsters and fashion-forwards.”
