Needless to say, the mother was mothering at the ramp as she turned showstopper for the event. 

For the event, Deepika slayed in a monochromatic white pant, top, and trench ensemble paired with layered necklaces, including a choker and a cross pendant in rubies and diamonds by the couturier. She also accessorized with a stack of bracelets in similar gems atop black leather gloves. She tied her hair in a sleek bun and completed her look with a statement headband and black-framed glasses.

The actor was the ultimate muse for the fashion mogul, wowing everyone with her walk. Fans were in awe of Deepika's model era post-motherhood. However, a section of netizens commented that she resembled Rekha.

The next one mentioned, "I'm her biggest fan but still it took me 5 minutes to recognize whether this is Deepika or not." A user wrote, "Deepika can do Rekha's biopic."
