This year for the Met Gala Priyanka Chopra Jonas stepped out in a dramatic nude-coloured Dior gown with feather detailing from its Spring 2018 collection sporting a bizarre curly hairdo topped with a silver-straw crown and loud make up complete with a bindi. Twitterati donned their funny hat and had everyone in splits with their reactions.

The outfits this year will be based on “irony, humour, parody, pastiche, artifice, theatricality and exaggeration”. Clearly, the celebrities seem to have gone for the ‘exaggeration’ bit.

The Met Gala, or the Costume Institute Gala is the annual fundraising gala thrown for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute in New York and marks the opening of Costume Institute’s annual fashion exhibit. That year’s exhibit’s theme is celebrated at the event where celebrities wear their outfits to match the theme. The ball which is thrown on the first Monday of May had ‘Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination’ as the theme in 2018.
