Deepika Padukone exudes ‘quiet luxury’ in an off-duty jersey dress at Mumbai airport

There are two kinds of travellers in the world: those who try too hard and end up in oversized sweatpants and then there’s Deepika Padukone, Bollywood’s ultimate style queen, who shows up at the airport like it’s her personal runway, flashing her signature smile and an outfit to match.

While her stylist Shaleena Nathani certainly deserves credit, there’s no denying Deepika’s own fashion intuition and the confidence with which she carries every look.

The reigning queen of understated glam was recently spotted at Mumbai airport, serving a quiet luxury aesthetic that was equal parts minimal and memorable. Radiating cool-girl energy, Deepika wore a full-length, half-sleeved cotton jersey sweater dress from ALAÏA, priced at a cool ₹1,08,856. The monochrome grey number, complete with chic side slits and pockets, was the perfect blend of comfort and runway-ready polish.



Adding an unexpected layer, she paired the dress with baggy navy blue jeans and white statement sneakers, nailing that effortless high-low mix.


Of course, no Deepika airport look is complete without her iconic accessories. She sported her black Louis Vuitton sunglasses (₹48,500) and dainty gold hoops, but the real showstopper was her wrist candy: a Santos De Cartier watch in yellow gold, valued at an eye-watering ₹40,40,000. It whispered quiet luxury while screaming old-money glamour.

With her hair neatly tied in a sleek bun and makeup kept fresh and minimal, Deepika nailed the balance between jet-set chic and laid-back luxe.
