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 customised Ralph lauren for her debut at the fashion fiesta, 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 social media, and replied to all trolls by saying: “*Drumroll* to your creativity! I’ve picked a few of my favourites! 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.
