Priyanka Chopra’s Met Gala trench coat inspires memes, jokes and kudos

The Quantico star’s edgy look at the Met Gala has taken social media by storm - the US media loved her custom Ralph Lauren trench coat with a twist while Indian Twitter had a field day with the outfit.

Making her first appearance at the prestigious Met Gala (the Oscars of the east coast), Priyanka Chopra was said to be channelling everyone from Carmen Sandiego to Inspector Gadget. Dressed in a trench coat by Ralph Lauren, the outfit was custom made for the star, in keeping with the Rei Kawakubo theme for the gala. The actress looked stunning as she walked down the red carpet.

But while the fashion police gave her a thumbs up, back home in India, comedians and Twitter users couldn’t resist turning Priyanka into a meme just as Rihanna did in 2015 at the Met Gala dressed in Chinese couturier Guo Pei’s yellow creation.

As Priyanka has said in the past, “Haters gonna hate! Potatoes gonna potate! Who cares! Focus on the love!” We’re sure the actress is doing just that after a spectacular night.
