From Blackpink’s Lisa to Deepika Padukone—black dominated the best looks of the week

Christian Dior once said, “You can wear black at any time. You can wear it at any age. You may wear it for almost any occasion” and this week the stars took it to heart. From K-pop star Lisa to Deepika Padukone and Sonam Kapoor—there was plenty of inspiration. Be it through sharp cuts, rich textures, or unexpected styling choices, every look brought something distinct—demanding a second glance.

Deepika Padukone made her ambassadorial red carpet debut in a custom black maxi dress by JADE by Monica and Karishma, proving that simplicity, when done right, never fades into the background. The gown featured sculptural sleeves and a plunging neckline further elevated by a Cartier necklace set with a 63.76-carat diamond—proving that sometimes, all a black dress needs is the right accessory to make a statement.

Sonam Kapoor once again cemented her fashion icon status in a sculptural silhouette. She recently stepped out in a custom Gaurav Gupta creation from the designer’s ‘Across the Flame’ collection. The look featured a gilded off-shoulder breastplate that flowed into a cosmic black tulle gown, with satin-sculpted details lending fluidity to the structured design. Further, she opted for minimal jewellery to let the gilded piece take centre stage.

Moving on, Blackpink’s Lisa also embraced structural dressing in a Schiaparelli creation from the label’s Autumn/Winter ’24/’25 collection. The gown played a game of contrasts—its sheer black mesh inserts sculpted the silhouette, while the white ruched skirt added a fluid yet structured dimension. The high-neck, long-sleeved bodice in ecru crepe jersey seamlessly blended into her skin, creating an almost second-skin effect, with the open-back detail serving as an unexpected reveal. Statement earrings, a bold cuff, and a metallic clutch further punctuated the look.

Kylie Jenner has a knack for unearthing archival gems, and her latest look is no exception. Stepping out in a slinky, low-back halter gown from Azzedine Alaïa’s Spring 1998 collection, she proved that some silhouettes remain timeless. The dress, sculpted to perfection, hugged her body with signature Alaïa precision, letting the minimalist design speak for itself. Keeping the aesthetic effortless, she opted for a tousled, blown-out hairstyle—an undone contrast to the gown’s structured allure.
