Lately, Deepika Padukone is going viral for all her stylish red carpet appearances at the Cannes Film Festival this year. Even though Padukone has aced all her looks, there has been immense pressure on the star to dress well which is why the Piku star opted to hire Elizabeth Saltzman, Contributing Editor to Vanity Fair as well as a London-based stylist.

Lately, Deepika Padukone is going viral for all her stylish red carpet appearances at the Cannes Film Festival this year. Even though Padukone has aced all her looks, there has been immense pressure on the star to dress well which is why the Piku star opted to hire Elizabeth Saltzman, Contributing Editor to Vanity Fair as well as a London-based stylist.

While Padukone herself hasn’t spoken up about the stress she was under, another Bollywood beauty who’s a regular at international red carpets, Sonam Kapoor spoke about how this year she wasn’t going to get pressurized regarding her red carpet looks at the Cannes Festival.

“I just believe in being myself. My sister styles me, but we haven’t really prepped that much this time. We have a brand that we are launching, I am shooting for two films, she is making Veere Di Wedding. For the past couple of years we decided not to pressurize ourselves and just have a good time and we have got the best reviews because of it. So, we don’t think about it too much. It’s not about the status quo, status symbol of being on the red carpet.”

She added, “We are going for a brand. If it was for a movie, I would’ve been so stressed out I would faint on the red carpet. But because it’s for a make-up brand, I enjoy doing it. It’s about being beautiful and you look beautiful only if you’re happy inside and confident.”

When asked what advice she would give Padukone regarding the red carpet, Kapoor responded: “I don’t think I should give any advice to someone who has already walked several international red carpets.”
