The theme of the Met's 2019 Costume Exhibition is 'Camp: Notes on Fashion'. The theme comes with its exaggerated plethora of costumes that put on an exhibition by the global stars who attend the gala. The exhibit is inspired by Susan Sontag's 1964 essay that defines camp as "love of the unnatural: of artifice and exaggeration."
Deepika Padukone first appeared at the Met Ball in 2017 during the release of her first Hollywood flick, XXX: Return of Xander Cage, opposite Vin Diesel. Dressed in a slip-dress by Tommy Hilfiger along with a flower crown, Deepika set the graph right for the theme of the year which was Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garcons: Art of the In-Between dedicated to the Japanese designer, Kawakubo, with her sartorial choice.
Walking for the second time last year, Deepika looked ethereal in Atelier couture by designer Prabal Gurung. Making a statement with her draped number, the actor accessorized her look with siren red heels, dainty diamond jewellery and bright red pout. The theme for last year's Met Gala was 'Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination', a tricky one to follow yet Deepika flawlessly aced the couture silhouette.
