MUMBAI: “All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players.” Shakespeare could well have been talking about Bollywood, when he wrote these lines thus in his epic ‘As You Like It’. And on the stage of Bollywood, two lovely ladies stole the show this week…

Modern Global Desi: Deepika Padukone was EVERYWHERE this week. With hectic, multi city promotions, the leading lady of ‘Chennai Express’ accompanied her man Shah Rukh Khan to every single promotional event, and her wardrobe kept up with her. Seen at two different promotional events, one in Mumbai and one in New Delhi, Deepika’s style statement was spot on.

For the elite Delhi party, Deepika wore a gorgeous floral printed mini dress. Her hair and makeup were done to perfection, and Deepika’s rosy cheeks took our breath away

For the final leg of promotions in Mumbai, Deepika kept it elegantly casual, in a polka dotted bustier, and a pair of white trousers. She accessorized the outfit nicely with an oversized pristine white blazer, and a simple gold bracelet. Impressive!

Maharani Sonam Kapoor: Sonam could well be mistaken for an erstwhile modern-day princess, based on her elegant ensemble at the IIJW finale. She was seen in a rich vermilion sari and elaborate maang-tika. A stunning neckpiece and armlets completed the desi royal look. We must say, we loved this look on Sonam!
