Here’s how Deepika Padukone and Ananya Panday took on summer dressing in the best looks of the week

Summer dressing doesn’t have to be one way or the other. You can wear lightweight straight suits like Deepika Padukone or lightweight dresses and skirts like Ananya Panday. This week’s best-dressed celebrities come to your rescue with breezy desi silhouettes and laid-back resort looks for intentional summer dressing.

Ananya Panday brought her signature Gen Z spin to Italian glamour at Lake Como for Chanel’s Resort 2025/2026 showcase. Having her fill of scenic boat rides and pasta-filled afternoons, the newly minted Indian ambassador for the house stepped up with a tiered black midi dress from Chanel’s Métiers d’Art collection. The shimmering cuffs, subtle sequin detailing, and dramatic V-neckline helped nail the fine balance between old-school couture and contemporary cool, while the functional pockets and fluid skirt fused utility and elegance in one clean stroke. All in all, la dolce vita done the Chanel way.

Kiara Advani’s recent getaway looks were a nod to comfort and nostalgia. The standout piece was her cable-knit jumper from Sandro Paris, crafted in a wool-cashmere blend and finished with red and blue stripes—the kind last seen on vintage cricket sweaters. The relaxed silhouette, V-neckline, and snug cuffs ticked all the comforting notes for the mom-in-the-making, while a woollen shawl with knotted fringe added a layer of warmth. If you are planning to unwind in laid-back luxe with some retro sport chic thrown in, take notes.
