Priyanka Chopra was mercilessly trolled on social media for her trench-coat khaki coloured gown with a 20-feet long train at the Met Gala in New York recently. There were numerous memes labelling the dress as a chapati, promotion for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Swachh Bharat Abhiyan and blah, blah. Now, the actor recently broke her silence on the issue.

Priyanka chose a customised Ralph Lauren for her debut at the fashion fiesta Met Gala, where even actress Deepika Padukone walked the red carpet in a Tommy Hilfiger creation. But Priyanka’s look — accentuated by heavy make-up — grabbed more eyeballs.

The actress took to Instagram on Wednesday, and replied to all trolls by saying: “*Drumroll* to your creativity! I’ve picked a few of my favourites! Good to know that the dress serves more purposes than just fashion. Hope to continue to stir your creative juices.” “This is why I love the Met Gala you literally can push the envelope for fashion anywhere! Until next time…ROFL,” she added.

Priyanka chose a couple of memes on her dress to support her post. The actress was herself proud of the dress she chose — especially because she could change its look in minutes for the gala itself and its after-party.
“Ingenious design by Ralph Lauren and thank God for it!! Imagine the 20 foot train at the after party… Lol! Spot the difference, Wardrobe Hacks, The Case Of The Missing Train, Inspector Gadget or Sherlock Holmes,” Priyanka posted along with a collage of two images juxtaposed to show how the dress was transformed.

**drumroll** to your creativity! I’ve picked a few of my favourites! Good to know that the dress serves more purposes than just fashion. Hope to continue to stir your creative juices. This is why I love the #MetGala you literally can push the envelope for fashion anywhere! Until next time… #ROFL

She also had a fun and breezy Marilyn Monroe kind of moment, as seen in a Twitter post from the official Ralph Lauren handle.
