"One can plan things in advance but when the day comes, you might feel like wearing something else. It is about following your instinct, your energy and mood and having fun," Deepika added, reports PTI.

Deepika wore a sheer and embellished risque Marchesa dress on the opening day of Cannes and followed it up with a high-slit bottle green number by Brandon Maxwell. Fashion critics had no complaints.
