Deepika Padukone serves jaw-dropping look at Elvis premiere at Cannes Film Festival. Ranveer Singh calls her a ‘queen’

Deepika Padukone has been surprising her fans with her fashion choices at the Cannes Film Festival each day. She took her red carpet style a notch higher on Wednesday as she walked the red carpet in a bulky golden and black gown with massive sleeves. She is a jury member at the festival this year and walked the red carpet for the screening of the film, Elvis.

As Deepika shared a few pictures of her regal look on Instagram, husband Ranveer Singh called her a “Queen” in the comments section. Her fans were awestruck at her latest appearance. A fan commented, “I don’t know how many times my jaw has dropped at this point.” Another said, “Really Amazing, Fantastic, Gorgeous !!!!Don’t have a word.” One more fan said, “Giving out those MALEFICENT vibes!!!” A fan even called her, “The Mother of Cannes.”

Wednesday was perhaps the glitziest evening of the 12-day festival as the world premiere of Elvis was an event to remember. The highly anticipated film from Australia’s Baz Luhrmann is a typical explosion of colour and break-neck editing. Baz wore a rhinestone Elvis belt buckle and a shiny ring with his tuxedo as he walked the red carpet.

Other who made an impression at the premiere were Sharon Stone in a pair of Elvis-like aviator shades, and Brazilian model Adriana Lima with her baby bump, in what appeared to be a homage to Princess Leia’s slave outfit from Return of the Jedi.

Earlier in the day, Deepika had shared pictures of her in a floral off-shoulder dress with matching floral boots. She was accompanied by Ranveer in Cannes since several days but the latter was spotted at filmmaker Karan Johar’s birthday bash in Mumbai on Wednesday.
