When it comes to luxury fashion, Deepika Padukone is leading the runway. In 2017, Deepika made history by becoming the first Indian face to be signed by a global luxury brand – Louis Vuitton. That partnership wasn’t just a fashion flex, it was a full-blown industry reset. Since then, the gates of ambassadorship have opened, and Indian faces have been front and center on the global runway radar.
If it’s fashion week, Deepika’s there – and she’s making it count. From Paris to Milan, New York to London, the biggest fashion capitals are now no strangers to Indian elegance, confidence, and couture.
At Paris Fashion Week 2025, Deepika turned heads at the Louis Vuitton Fall/Winter show in a vintage-inspired look – an oversized coat, dramatic scarf, structured hat, red lips, gloves, and heels. It wasn’t just a look; it was a moment. The kind that lands you in headlines, not just front rows.
But Deepika’s presence is more than just an elegant statement – a signal to the industry that India is a whole fashion chapter. Her appearances at Fashion Weeks from 2022 to 2025 have been power moves, each one carving space for other Indian stars to follow suit.
With ambassadorships for both Louis Vuitton and Cartier under her belt, Deepika isn’t just walking into rooms – she’s making space for a whole new crowd to enter behind her. From designers like Rahul Mishra to fresh faces like Avanti Nagrath, Indian representation isn’t the exception anymore—it’s part of the front-row fabric.
India’s influence is only getting bolder, brighter, and more bespoke. And with Deepika setting the pace, let’s just say – if she’s on the guest list, it’s going to be a showstopper!
