Deepika Padukone creates history as first Bollywood star to feature in a global Louis Vuitton campaign

Deepika Padukone, on Thursday, became the first Bollywood star to feature in luxury fashion giant Louis Vuitton's global campaign. Two days after being honoured with the Crystal Award at the 50th edition of the World Economic Forum in Davos, for her contribution towards creating mental health awareness, Padukone added another feather to her cap.

The 'Chhapaak' star joined actors including Laura Harrier, Emma Roberts, Sophie Turner, Zhong Chuxi, Chloë Grace Moretz and Urassaya Sperbund for LVMH creative director Nicolas Ghesquière's pre-fall 2020 campaign that pays tribute to classic horror books and films.

Padukone, dressed in a checkered black and white dress, grey coat and green boots, features in a reimagined poster of 'Don't Turn Around'. The actress shared the news on her Instagram handle, and actor-husband Ranveer Singh was quick to leave a comment on her post.


"I am beyond thrilled to be joining the Louis Vuitton family! To be a part of Nicholas Ghesquière's vision for the world’s most iconic brand is not only exciting but also very humbling!," the actress captioned the post.
