Bollywood’s most fashionable couple, Deepika Padukone, and Ranveer Singh did it again.
Renowned for their unique and sometimes polar opposite styles, the couple recently went viral
for sharing a perfect couple airport look. The couple took a rest from their brightly colored and
busy printed fashion when they decided to wear a black-on-black airport look. Similar to the
always convenient, black-on-black outfits many people wear, however, they made a bold fashion
statement on the flight that every fashion critique in the world of entertainment covered. At
Wartalaap, we have broken it down as to why this black-on-black look went viral.
The Power of Coordinated Minimalism
While they are known to twin, this time was different. They were not twinning by wearing
matching pieces from the same designer or wearing color the same way using different fabrics.
This was a much a more subtle, chic in a single color. Deepika wore a chic oversized black
sweater with wide-leg trousers. She kept it simple with a minimalistic approach, wearing
minimal, understated black aviators and a nondescript handbag. While Ranveer wore a
fashionable black turtleneck, a long black overcoat, and a black beanie, the low-key and
minimalism of their look made them feel even more like one unit. The lack of vibrancy and print
patterns was a striking distance of marked effectiveness. This is a proper case of ‘less is more’
and suggests that maturity within their couple styles development too, suggestively they are
evolving into a more powerful- looking outfit as a pair.
Beyond Just an Airport Look
What we were looking at was more than a simple travel outfit. This was a fashion statement.
Airports have essentially become runways in our current culture, so Deepika and Ranveer were
using this opportunity to show us their quietly confident role as leaders in the industry. The all
black look lent itself to mystery and sophistication as it easily could have been taken straight
from a high-budget spy film. The media and fans noticed what I am calling a strong cinematic
power behind this coordinating look. This was also a mix of comfort and high fashion, letting us
see that a simple, but striking outfit made barely one change (a color) can still result in an
inconspicuous look of style. The matching outfits represented their powerful union together and
shows their overlapping sartorial sensibility partnering together as they took to India.
A Masterstroke of Personal Style
Deepika’s look merely exhibited her innate grace, while Ranveer’s showed his ability to move
from one extreme of fashion to another. For an actor who is known for eccentric and flamboyant
fashion, this all-black, minimalist look was an unexpected twist. He can clearly embrace any
approach to fashion with confidence and ease. You have to admire how the couple can take
both of their personal fashion personalities and create one unified essence. This is what makes
them a still potential, style force. This viral moment not only confirmed their reputation as
separate style icons, but also as a power couple whose shared red carpet appearance is always
newsworthy now. Their black-on-black look was bold and powerful, and completely memorable
in Bollywood fashion history.
