Deepika Padukone is well-known for her bold and elegant sartorial choices. Most recently, the Bollywood beauty sent fans into a frenzy and garnered international attention by showing up to the 26th Annual Crystal Awards in a purple Alex Perry gown, reported Vogue.
After flying out of Mumbai in a not-so-basic version of the classic trench coat (it's all about the sleeves after all), the Padmaavat star rocked the awards ceremony taking place in Davos, Switzerland.

The 34-year-old donned the sculpted Alex Perry gown from the designer's spring/summer 2020 collection, which made a bold impact for its eye-catching violet hue and interesting detailing.

The body-hugging number perfectly complemented Padukone’s curves and was accessorised with nothing but a pair of chandelier earrings by Mahesh Notandass.

"My love and hate relationship with this (mental health) has taught me a lot and I want to tell everyone suffering from this that you are not alone," she said. "One trillion dollars is the estimated impact of depression and mental illness on the world economy. In the time it has taken me to accept this award, the world has lost one more person to suicide."
