Deepika Padukone has played a Queen in Bajirao Mastani and channeled her inner Leela in some of the most magnificent costumes, but she makes an entirely different message off-screen. While she still loves sarees and traditional features, she’s been seen moving out of her comfort zone and risking her style with some of the most fashionable outfits. While we all know she’s usually one step ahead of the curve in terms of fashion, one trend that has stayed with her is strangely connected to the accessories she wears. Layered necklaces have crept their way into every celebrity’s wardrobe, and it appears like they’re here to stay for Deepika.

1. For the event, Deepika chose a solid black sleeveless bodysuit with a plunging V neckline and a figure-sculpting shape. She wore the shirt with a pair of tapered black denim jeans with a high waist. Deepika accessorized her all-black ensemble with a beautiful Christian Dior gold-finish metal chain with the initials ‘CD.’ Choker for the Danseuse Étoile.

2. Padukone has certainly raised the bar on how to sport this style, as she came out in an all-black ensemble with a high hairdo and just let her jewelry do the talking. We weren’t kidding when we said she adores her jewelry!

3. She took her affinity for stacked necklaces to a whole new level when she walked down the red carpet with letters made of diamond chunks dangling from her neck.
