Priyanka happy to 'stir creative juices' with Met Gala look

Mumbai, May 3
The designer khaki-coloured trench coat gown with a 20 feet long train sported by Priyanka Chopra at the Met Gala 2017 in New York has been trolled as a chapati, as the terrains of Egypt and as a promoter of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Swachh Bharat Abhiyan. But the actress has taken the criticism in her stride, giving a drumroll.
Priyanka chose a customized Ralph Lauren for her debut at the fashion fiesta Met Gala, where even actress Deepika Padukone walked the red carpet in a Tommy Hilfiger creation. But Priyanka’s look — accentuated by heavy make-up — grabbed more eyeballs.
The actress took to Instagram on Wednesday, and replied to all trolls by saying: “Drumroll to your creativity! I’ve picked a few of my favorites! Good to know that the dress serves more purposes than just fashion. Hope to continue to stir your creative juices.”
“This is why I love the Met Gala you literally can push the envelope for fashion anywhere! Until next time…ROFL,” she added.
Priyanka chose a couple of memes on her dress to support her post.
The actress was herself proud of the dress she chose — especially because she could change its look in minutes for the gala itself and its after-party.
“Ingenious design by Ralph Lauren and thank God for it!! Imagine the 20-foot train at the after party… Lol! Spot the difference, Wardrobe Hacks, The Case Of The Missing Train, Inspector Gadget or Sherlock Holmes,” Priyanka posted along with a collage of two images juxtaposed to show how the dress was transformed.
She also had a fun and breezy Marilyn Monroe kind of moment, as seen in a Twitter post from the official Ralph Lauren handle.
“Thank you for the ‘moment’ Ralph Lauren. Such a fun and easy breezy take on Comme de Garçon! Loved being your muse for the Met Gala 2017,” Priyanka tweeted.
