Before Deepika Padukone took over the acting world, she was dominating the ramps with her killer walk. The actress was a professional model and one of the best at the time. She even left her career as a badminton player to pursue modelling and we’re so glad she made that decision. Deepika was a total boss on the runway, and these pictures are bound to leave you stunned!
Kickstarting Her Modelling Career
Deepika made her runway debut in 2005 at Lakme Fashion Week, where she walked for Suneet Varma.
Bollywood’s Jasmine
Deepika made heads turn as she walked the ramp for Satya Paul in 2006 in a stunning turquoise blue ensemble. The outfit was cinched at the waist with a gold kamarband. If Bollywood ever decides to make Aladin again, we know who they should cast as Jasmine!
A Saree To Remember
She once walked the ramp in a rather unique saree that she so elegantly pulled off. DP played muse to designer Maheka Mirpuri in 2006 in a floral saree that came with the most quirky blouse!
Boho Babe
DP aced the bohemian look on the runway in 2007 before it was even considered cool. I mean, only she could’ve pulled off this look.
Two Indian Beauties
Deepika once even shared the ramp with model Diandra Soares, who was considered to be one of the best models of the time. DP looked fierce and beautiful in a Bengali getup with a huge bindi.
Sheer Showstopper!
Deepika turned showstopper for the first time in 2007 as she walked the ramp for Wills Lifestyle at India Fashion Week. She wore a see-through white dress, which was quite bold for its time.
Watch Your Back!
Can you believe this is the same person who played Rani Padmavati and Mastani? Deepika would definitely make a great choice for a movie like Fashion.
Angelic In White
Only Deepika Padukone could make even a modest white dress like this look sexy.
Desi Girl Redefined!
Deepika wore a bralette blouse long before it was trendy, and damn, did she pull it off with grace! If only DP would wear this outfit now, it would take the internet by storm.
Sexy With An Edge
Although this outfit would be quite a faux pas if worn now, Deepika made it look so sexy back in the day.
