Description

This magazine cover portrait features actor Deepika Padukone for the May 2025 The Motherhood Issue of Marie Claire U.S. She is positioned centrally in profile, wearing a flowing, high-necked gold draped cape gown and matching trousers against a monochromatic draped golden yellow backdrop. The lighting is soft and warm, casting a gentle shadow to the right. The prominent masthead reads marie claire at the top in white, accompanied by the issue title and cover lines in a playful script typeface. The project was produced with photography by Michael Oliver Love and Rid Burman, styling by Ashley Furnival and Kat Typaldos, hair styling by Danielle Priano, Gabriel Georgiou, and Larry Sims, makeup by Autumn Moultrie and Etienne Ortega, and manicures by Thuy Nguyen.
