Deepika Padukone set the red carpet on fire with her Red Hot avatar, as she donned a hand-draped silk gazar creation by Prabal Gurung.

Deepika's outfit is the perfect balance of oomph and classy. Deepika opted for pearl and diamond Tasaki earrings and a matching statement ring. With bold, red lips and plastered hair, she was a vision of sinfulness.

Needless to say, Deepika's attire received a thumbs up from netizens.

Here's what the Twitterati had to say:
