Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone for a red carpet face-off at Met Gala held at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art annually is the way to start the morning. Priyanka, who is attending the Met Gala for the third time this year arrived hand-in-hand with her husband Nick Jonas. The couple was dressed in Dior - Priyanka in an exaggerated feathered embellished dress and Nick in a pristine white suit. On the other hand, Deepika Padukone opted for a Zac Posen custom metallic pink gown, Priyanka's team of hairstylists finished out her look with afro curls completed with a crown-like piece while Deepika opted for a high puffed ponytail. Deepika Padukone, who played safe for her last two appearances, took a bold step this year; more with her exaggerated make-up than her dress. Deepika's team of stylists finished out her look with a dark lip colour and matching eye make-up complete with glitters. This year the Met gala is based on Notes on Camp, an essay written in 1964 by American author Susan Sontag and the theme is called "Camp: Notes on Fashion." The Costume Institute's head curator Andrew Bolton of the Metropolitan Museum of Art told news agency AFP: "Camp is by nature subversive (...) confronting and challenging the status quo... In the end, the purpose of camp is to put a smile on our faces and a warm glow in our hearts." Whose interpretation of the theme did you like better - Deepika or Priyanka's? (NDTV with inputs from AFP) KK<doc-sep>Actors Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Deepika Padukone took inspiration from fairytale characters for their 2019 Met Gala red carpet appearance, reminding fans that a little adventure goes a long way in fashion. The two Indian actors interpreted this year's theme for the event, "Camp: Notes on Fashion" in their own way. According to the Met exhibition, the theme is sensibility which encompasses everything from "decorativism" to "the trash aesthetic". Priyanka, who first met husband Nick Jonas at the same event, seemed to have plucked a leaf out of Lewis Carroll's fantasy classic, Alice In Wonderland and channelled self expression through a multishaded Dior gown in grey, yellow and pink with Chopard danglers. Some called the look inspired by The Mad Hatter, while others compared it with that of the Red Queen thanks to the bushy curls on which sat a long spiky silver crown. The actor completed the look with grey tinted eyebrows, eyes lined with a white eyeliner, dark maroon lip and shimmering sheer stockings. Styled by Mimi Cuttler, Priyanka also gave a nod to her Indian roots by using 'bindis', not one but three on her face. Nick, who was also wearing Dior, gave a hat-tip to his sister-in-law Sophie Turner as he turned up dressed as Peter 'Littlefinger' Baelish from Game of Thrones. Turner's Sansa Stark played an important role in the death of Littlefinger (played by Aidan Gillen). "Sansa... We must protect the Vale. #metgala #littlefinger," the Sucker hitmaker captioned his picture on Instagram, dressed in an all-white suit with a stole wrapped over his left hand and a thin, fake moustache. He also joked about his look on Twitter in a reference to the 2010 teen comedy Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam, in which he starred with fellow Jonas Brothers - Kevin and Joe and Demi Lovato. "Honestly should have worn a 'Camp Rock' inspired outfit tonight given the theme was 'camp' that would have been super tight. #MetBall2019," Nick tweeted. It was an anniversary of sorts for the couple, who first posed for the shutterbugs on the 2017 Met Gala red carpet in Ralph Lauren designs before tying the knot last December. They are also part of the 2019 Met Gala Host Committee, presided over by Vogue editor Anna Wintour. According to Deepika's stylist Shaleena Nathani, the actor pitched her tent as a "Camp Barbie". She chose a multi-layered Zac Posen 3D printed gown in a a quintessential pink shade and bespoke jewels by Lorraine Schwartz. Deepika wore a tiara in her flowing coiffed hair. Talk show host and internet personality Lilly Singh dressed like herself - a lily - in a pink-purple floral off-shoulder dress with long black latex gloves. She wore her hair in a long braid decorated with lily flowers. Lilly, also known by her YouTube name Superwoman, made light of her look on Twitter. "My dress is literally taking up alllllll the space rn... "Had to dress like a Lily because..." she wrote in a series of tweets.<doc-sep>Deepika Padukone made waves upon arrival to the red carpet at the 2019 Metropolitan Museum of Art’s annual Costume Institute Benefit in New York. The reigning queen of Bollywood wore a custom Zac Posen dress for the “Camp: Notes on Fashion” theme at Monday’s event. The medium pink gown trailed behind Padukone as she strutted on the event’s matching pink carpet. Posen enlisted the help of engineers to craft more than 400 3D-printed embroidery pieces for Padukone’s gown, CNBC reports. Fans of the star on Twitter said her look resembled a Barbie doll or princess. The 2019 Met Gala is Padukone’s third year attending the event, according to Vogue India. The actor has gone with simple gowns for the last two years of the event. Last year, she wore an elegant red Prabal Gurung gown with matching red heels. Gurung spoke to Vogue India about the inspiration for last year’s event theme of “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion & the Catholic Imagination.” “The cardinal virtues of prudence, courage, temperance and justice are values Deepika upholds so beautifully and gracefully,” Gurung told the publication. The designer also said that his team collaborated with Padukone on the look.

The designer conjured up a custom candy-pink gown, decorated with three-dimensional sea urchin-inspired accents. “It's not a dress, it’s like art,” Padukone noted of the many-layered confection on Sunday at Posen’s studio, just 24 hours before the Met Gala—and the first time she saw the dress in real life. Padukone is the highest-paid actress in India and a recent Vogue cover star. And when she’s not making headlines with her film projects, she’s in the news as one-half of Bollywood’s biggest couple with Ranveer Singh. (The couple tied the knot late last year in Lake Como.) Though her husband is fond of a camp look himself—“I think he would do one hundred percent justice to the theme,” she says—Padukone took on the Met Gala red carpet solo, complementing her gown with matching tones in the beauty department. Makeup pro Sandhya Shekar painted her lids with sparkling purple and pink eyeshadow, while hairstylist Gabriel Georgiou whipped her waist-grazing brunette lengths into a bouffant of camp-sized proportions, complete with a bejeweled headband. Padukone calls this the most adventurous look she’s ever tried, but adds, “I've alway been open to experimenting. What is life without a few risks?” Above, watch the actress prep for the 2019 Met Gala.
