With halos and Pope-inspired dresses, the Met Gala 2018 red carpet saw Indian actresses Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone making a statement in their very own ensembles in sync with the "Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination" theme.
Priyanka, who made her debut internationally with the American drama series "Quantico", opted for a wine red strapless Ralph Lauren gown with a billowing train paired with an embellished gold chain headdress reminiscent of a medieval knight. She completed her look with subtle make-up and maroon lips.
Deepika, who made her debut at the Met Gala last year, sported a red draped gown with a thigh high slit. Her ensemble was designed by Prabal Gurung. She accessorised her look with towering red heels.
Held at the The Metropolitan Museum of Art on Monday, this year's gala saw elaborate theme-based fashion with Rihanna, Katy Perry, Nicki Minaj, Beyonce, Jennifer Lopez, Cardi B, Lana Del Rey, Rita Ora, Uma Thurman and Madonna, making a statement.
The hosts for the evening were Rihanna, Amal Clooney and Donatella Versace.
The annual event is the invitation-only fundraiser to benefit the New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute.

Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone opted for less theatrical looks at the Met Gala 2018 after party. See pics.
Priyanka wore a black pant suit with golden streaks in the bottom half. She embellished her look with deep red lipstick. Deepika, meanwhile, wore a golden velvet jacket -- one she’d previously worn at a party thrown by Shah Rukh Khan. Deepika hadn’t received the unanimously positive reception that Priyanka’s look was met with during the religious themed gala, held in New York on Tuesday.
Both stars, however, are being applauded for their choices in the less theatrical after party. You can check out pictures here.
