Shah Rukh Khan’s private bash celebrating his 58th birthday boasted a guest list that included Bollywood’s who’s who. However, it was his Pathaan co-star’s look that triggered a déjà vu moment of her iconic character Veronica from Homi Adajania’s Cocktail. Deepika Padukone stepped into her glam bag for the party in a sleeveless floral mini-dress from Giuseppe di Morabito. The shimmering silver, adorned with intricate rhinestone detailing throughout certainly embodied the bold and edgy spirit of Veronica. To complete her look, Deepika Padukone paired the outfit with silver danglers and strappy silver heels from Aquazzura.
While the ensemble was undoubtedly head-turning, it was makeup artist Kritika Gill’s touch to the glam quotient that truly stood out—smoky eye makeup in sultry shades, the bold, feathered brows, and a cherry-toned nude lip to go with the floral print on the dress. As for Deepika Padukone’s relaxed waves, we are willing to bet that they are simply day-old curls that fell into the textured hairstyle overnight. Yianni Tsapatori deserves credit for giving her mane a sense of volume and movement, and an effortless edge to her look.
Whether you call it messy hair, the ‘I woke up like this’ look, or tousled locks, this ‘dirty hair’ trend, a noticeable presence on the Spring 2024 runways, seems to have officially arrived, with Bollywood (and Hollywood) celebrities leading the way in showcasing the beauty of effortlessly tousled locks. From Alia Bhatt and Janhvi Kapoor to Kareena Kapoor Khan and even Kylie Jenner, whether it’s a casual day out, a red-carpet event, or a star-studded party, leave it to the stars to show us how to make even bedhead look glam.
To get the look, start with well-textured hair. Use a curling wand or iron to create loose, uneven waves, leaving some sections straight for that perfectly imperfect effect. Avoid overly precise styling and embrace the imperfections, as they add character to the hairstyle. A spritz of texturising spray can help hold the waves in place and give your hair that carefree, tousled look.
