Deepika reverts back to Sonam’s fashion comment

Model-turned-actress Deepika Padukone, who can give her contemporaries a run for their money when it comes to style, says her style statement is “simple” and “elegant” like her mother Ujjala.

“In my growing up years, my mother was my style icon and she still is. She is someone who has influenced my style a lot,” said the dimpled Deepika Padukone at the launch of the limited collection of Van Heusen spring/summer collection designed by her..
On being asked about Sonam Kapoor’s style statement on her fashion sense, Dips remained diplomatic and said,”Sonam is entitled to her opinion and I respect that.” ”The best dressed man (in the industry) is Akshay Kumar. It’s purely his effortlessness that makes him look the way he does. I think the fact that he has always been so athletic that really adds to the way he carries off clothes,” the actress added.

Among women, Deepika named veteran actress Rekha as her top choice when it comes to dressing. “She is someone who has always dressed the way she wants to. Trends have come and gone, but she stands by something she believes in and she has stood by that and I appreciate that,” said the Ramleela actress.
