Deepika Padukone turned heads at a high-profile Cartier gala in Dubai, stepping out in a striking custom Gaurav Gupta couture ensemble.

The look featured a deep-neck, sharply tailored black jacket paired with a sleek, floor-length skirt, creating a powerful yet elegant silhouette.

Her outfit was a reimagined version of Gaurav Gupta’s iconic ‘Starfall’ silhouette, specially customised for Deepika.

The original Starfall design debuted at Paris Fashion Week as part of the designer’s The Divine Androgyne Spring/Summer 2026 couture collection.

Deepika’s version elevated the concept with precision tailoring and sculptural shoulder detailing, adding a commanding presence.

As Cartier’s global brand ambassador, Deepika complemented the outfit with extravagant high jewellery.

She finished the look with a statement diamond-encrusted necklace and matching studs, perfectly aligning couture with Cartier’s iconic sparkle.
