Edgy and experimental

Flaunting shades of pink in a hibiscus silk asymmetric one-shoulder gathered knot tie blouse with an extended sash and cotton relaxed work wear trouser with the hibiscus patent leather belt from Prabal Gurung’s Spring 2018 collection for Padmavati promotions, Deepika chose a non-fussy minimal hairdo and a subtle makeup to compliment her edgy look.
