Deepika Padukone scored a coup with her red carpet appearances at the Cannes Film Festival this year.
On Day One, her sheer one-shoulder Marchesa gown was a clear winner.
She followed it up with a stunning thigh-high slit gown in teal by Brandon Maxwell on Day Two. A caped creation that took us down memory lane.
We revisit the stars who slayed the Cannes red carpet in a cape.

Having worn not one, but four capes on the Cannes red carpet, Sonam is well on her way to being called the 'Cape Queen of Cannes'.
