New Delhi: Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone attended the 2018 Met Gala held in New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art on Monday evening and it seems that the Internet has picked a favourite. Fans-turned-fashion police gave Priyanka full points for staying true to the exhibit's theme - "Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination" - while they booed Deepika Padukone for missing the point completely (much as she did last year). Priyanka, 35, walked the red carpet at in a Ralph Lauren velvet gown accessorised with a bejeweled hood while Deepika Padukone, 32, wore a red Prabal Gaurang gown with an extended thigh-high slit paired with diamond and pearl earrings and a matching ring.

Plenty of tweets on Priyanka's fashion chutzpah were posted and a section of social media said that Priyanka and Ralph Lauren are "a match made in heaven. "Fans of the Baywatch star loved her latest International red carpet appearance and listed her among the best dressed celebs at the Met Gala 2018. Before the reactions, take a look at Priyanka Chopra on the red carpet.


Here are all the compliments Priyanka scored with her walk on the Met Gala red carpet.






Of course, with a look this unusual, not everyone was impressed. A section of the Internet was not exhilarated about Priyanka's "goddess-like" (as fans said) look.


Meanwhile, the Internet thought Deepika Padukone's stylist missed the memo about the Gala's theme. "...(the stylist) got the opportunity to dress Deepika Padukone for Met Gala and completely missed the theme... she looks amazing in this but really? Sigh," read one comment. One Instagram user said: "People disregard the theme every year." However, several fans defended the actress saying the dress code also included "Sunday Best," which was also opted by celebs such as Kim Kardashian and Amal Clooney. "The theme for dress was 'Sunday best.' Heavenly Bodies is the exhibit theme," clarified one Instagram user

Deepika Padukone is making a habit of ignoring the Met Gala theme. Last year, she showed up in pristine white Tommy Hilfiger with a diamante headband and while she looked like a million bucks - which she does this year too - Deepika caught some flak for not adhering to the 'avant-garde' theme. Priyanka Chopra did stick to the dress code. Here's a throwback of them:



Priyanka Chopra is currently seen on television show Quantico and her next film is Bharat opposite Salman Khan. Deepika Padukone was last seen in "Padmaavat" and she hasn't announced her next project yet.

Hollywood celebrities such as Scarlett Johansson, Rihanna, Jennifer Lopez, Blake Lively, Salma Hayek and Ronney Mara also attended the Met Gala, which raises money for the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute.

it's okay Deepika has paid for India wide trend 😆😆

Aw, DP's PR is so cute 😳 Agree, PC totally nailed the theme and the gown fit her so well!

And this is an objective and non biased article since it gives PC a 10 right

I doubt it's PC's pr. She is getting great write-ups in the western media so I doubt she cares about playing games on Indian websites. This is just cheap media reporting.

Some stars went over the top with their costumes...they were costumy

If it were a competition..PC deserves the first prize.It was exquisite,understated and very elegant.

The color and the velvet fabric👏

I think PC killed it.

Absolutely love what PC is wearing!! She looks gorgeous & I love her confidence!! DP looks beautiful as usual but I wonder why she bothers coming to these prestigious events if she's only going to ignore the dress code.

I'm not feeling both their looks nothing wow here. Also they're exaggerating a bit here I checked the best dressed list and celebs like Blake Lively, Rihanna, Ariana Grande, Katty Perry and Amal Clooney etc were the most frequent mentions there I didn't see any mention of PC there. But out of the two PC is definitely better because she stuck to the theme atleast her hairstyle kinda ruins it for me a different hairdo might have made a lot of difference.
I think Blake Lively really killed it with her look. The dress made me catch my breath and she literally looked heavenly in it, so stunning!

close up of PC face looks bad, something is off.
the charm of deepika during OSO is gone, history. she looking like a bamboo stick with haggard face.
who the hell advised her to wear that horrible gown.

Both look bad. Whatever pics I've seen Blake is the one who slayed and should get a 10 not PC lol.
