The dark-green velvet gown was custom-created for the actress by designer label Gauri & Nainika.

Nainika Karan, one half of the fashion label, said:

“We wanted to create something very classic and timeless for Deepika.

“But at the same time, we wanted it to be extremely glamorous and sensual because that’s very much her style.”

The fashion designer added:

“The plunging neckline and figure-hugging silhouette with the long train, all in a deep green velvet, was perfect for her tall and statuesque frame.

“There was no one better to carry it off than Deepika.”
