Who rocked the Met Gala red carpet: Priyanka or Deepika?

Bollywood beauties Priyanka Chopra turned out to be the most recent additions to this stunfest and made a bold statement as she walked the Met Gala red carpet in evening gowns.

 

 

We start with, Priyanka who’s wearing Ralph Lauren's iconic trench coat, completing the look with metallic danglers and ankle-length leather heels. Priyanka styled her hair in a high bun, kept the make-up minimal except for the deep maroon lip colour. Considered as Hollywood's latest favourite from India, Priyanka impressed the fashion police with many calling it an "edgy" look.

 

 

 

Whereas, Deepika decided to go a rather more elegant, classy and angelic in an ivory-white satin backless gown. The plunging neckline at the back was eye-popping. Her hair accessories were wondrous, that band of shimmery flowers decorating her centre partitioned hair with a low bun. Her gown was designed by Tommy Hilfiger, who accompanied her to the event.

New York Times fashion director, Vanessa Friedman praised the actress' choice on Twitter, "Actually, this trench coat- gown by @RalphLauren on Priyanka Chopra is a weirdly great combo. #MetGala" 

Us Weekly magazine tweeted, "Priyanka Chopra Slays in Trench Coat Dress With Longest Train Ever on 2017 #MetGala Red Carpet." 

Access Hollywood called Priyanka's look the "fashion moment" at the annual fundraising event.

While the Western media complimented the "Quantico" actress, social media users in India were not too kind to the National Award-winning actress and came up with funny memes.

Some compared the actress' gown to Rihanna's infamous pizza dress from the 2015 gala while others hailed her as the new face of Swachh Bharat Abhiyan.

"#PriyankaChopra displaying her Swachh Bharat skills at #MetGala," a user tweeted.

In wake of the tenth season of Indian Premier League, a user wrote, "#BREAKING: #BCCI Hires Priyanka Chopra To Provide Cover Protection To Stadiums During Rains. #PriyankaChopra #IPL #IPL10 #DDvSRH #IPL2017".

Another tweeter discovered the three-tier usage of Priyanka's dress.

"Raincoat + Shower curtain + bedspread."
