Deepika Padukone or Priyanka Chopra: Who wore the sparkly gown better?
While Priyanka Chopra’s Ralph Lauren number was a hand-embroidered gown, Deepika Padukone’s Naeem Khan gown was a sequin gold.
The easiest way to ruin the most stunning outfit in the world is to pick up a wrong fit. Actor Priyanka Chopra recently wore a sparkly gown with a plunging neckline at the Golden Globes 2017. And just a few days later, Deepika Padukone too, wore a gold gown at the premiere of xXx: Return of Xander Cage, in Mumbai. While Priyanka’s Ralph Lauren number was a hand-embroidered gown, Deepika’s Naeem Khan gown was a sequin gold, with a plunging neckline and low cut back. Beautiful as they were, poor fits turned their fashion choices into a fashion faux pas.
Priyanka’s gown was a stunner, but we really wish Priyanka had paid attention to its fit. Despite being a custom gown, it looked several sizes smaller, creating a bit of belly bulge. Priyanka also didn’t need that necklace with her gown. It was a distraction that killed the elegance of the gown. Her makeup, though, was flawless – we loved the deep oxblood lip shade and her centre parted hair left loose in soft waves.
Deepika’s gown, too, had a plunging neckline, and the low cut back made it interesting. But sadly, poor fit made it lose its sheen. The gown looked uncomfortably tight. We are also not a fan of her makeup. Deepika wore a nude lip colour teamed with sharply defined eyes. A dark lip shade would have spiced the look. The gown also demanded a more interesting hairstyle — something like the soft side swept waves that she rocked at Golden Globes.
