Rihanna Took A Dig At Deepika Padukone's MET Gala Look? Here's What Happened
Last Updated: Deepika Padukone's white satin gown for the 2017 MET Gala didn't impress many. Deepika Padukone made her MET Gala debut in 2017 with a long, white Tommy Hilfiger satin gown. Although Deepika looked beautiful, her look for criticised for being 'too safe' for the fashion soiree. In the same year, Rihanna 'liked' a post on Instagram that took a dig at a dress similar to the one worn by Deepika. Several social media users were confused about whether the musical sensation was criticising the actress. Deepika Padukone wore an exquisite Tommy Hilfiger ensemble to the 2017 Met Gala. The gown was made of white satin with a plunging neckline, thigh-high slit and long train. She completed her ensemble with diamond-studded flowers in her hair and long drop earrings. Her makeup was kept simple, emphasising her innate beauty with a nude lip and delicate eye makeup. However, for the 'Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons: Art of the In-Between' theme, Deepika's look was considered 'safe' by many. Later, Rihanna 'liked' a post on Instagram that said, 'What the Met Gala theme was vs how everybody showed up." On one side, the post featured extravagant dresses and on the other, a white satin gown. Back then, some saw Rihanna's reaction as a dig at Deepika, while others argued that the singer must not know the actress. The image has resurfaced on Reddit and has gone viral again. One person wrote, 'This shade applies to way too many people who put zero effort. I don't think it's specific to Deepika here." Another added, 'Rightfully so, cause what was this? Her airport looks are more interesting than this." One person wrote, 'Pfffft, Rihanna prolly doesn't know who Deepika is😭." Another comment read, 'But it's true she didn't follow the theme." Deepika returned to the Gala in 2018 with a red Prabal Gurung gown. However, it was her pink Zac Posen look in 2019 that caught everyone's attention. Immersed in the aura of a life-sized Barbie doll, Deepika's 2019 Met Gala presentation was her most iconic to date. She wore a customised bubblegum pink strapless gown. The outfit featured a form-fitting neckline that drew attention to her décolletage and a multi-tiered, billowy skirt with subtle embroidery. First Published:

Rihanna's subtle dig at Deepika Padukone's 2017 MET Gala look sparks controversy
Deepika Padukone made her highly anticipated debut at the MET Gala in 2017, donning a sophisticated white satin gown by Tommy Hilfiger. The dress featured a plunging neckline, a thigh-high slit, and a long train, which she complemented with diamond-studded flowers in her hair and elegant drop earrings. While Deepika Padukone looked radiant, her choice was met with mixed reviews, with many labeling it as too "safe" for such a high-fashion event. Rihanna's reaction: Did she critique Deepika's 'Safe' MET Gala choice? Although her look was stunning, the fashion world had high expectations for the "Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons: Art of the In-Between" theme, and some felt Deepika Padukone's ensemble didn't quite fit the theme's avant-garde spirit. Adding fuel to the fire, Rihanna, in the same year, 'liked' an Instagram post that compared the extravagant dresses of the Gala with Deepika Padukone's white satin gown. The post humorously pointed out the lack of theme alignment, which led to speculation that Rihanna's reaction could be a subtle critique of Deepika Padukone's outfit.

Deepika Padukone's MET Gala evolution: From safe to iconic in 2019 Deepika Padukone made a striking return to the MET Gala in 2018, opting for a bold red Prabal Gurung gown. However, it was her appearance in 2019 that truly turned heads.

13 of the most awkward moments in Met Gala history
In 2013, Jennifer Lawrence photobombed Sarah Jessica Parker, catching her off-guard. Jennifer Lawrence reached out to touch Sarah Jessica Parker's unique, feathery headpiece while the "Sex and the City" star was being photographed on the red carpet. Luckily, Parker didn't seem bothered by the bit, People reported, even though she was certainly caught off-guard. The two actors shared a laugh following the photobomb, and Lawrence even got Parker's permission to pet the feathers. In 2014, a video showed Reese Witherspoon struggling to pronounce Cara Delevingne's name. After the 2014 Met Gala, Delevingne posted a video of Reese Witherspoon repeatedly mispronouncing her name in an elevator and the moment went viral. Although Delevingne later took the video down, ABC News shared the clip in a segment on "Good Morning America," which can still be watched on YouTube. "I love it. I love it when you do it, say it," says British drummer Tennessee Thomas, who was in the elevator with them. "Dee-luh-vig-nee," Witherspoon responds. Witherspoon also appeared to struggle pronouncing Delevingne's first name, Cara, switching between "Care-ah" and "Car-ah." The group was accompanied by Zooey Deschanel and Kate Upton, who also laughed along. 2014 was also the year someone tried to streak down the red carpet in a gold chain and pink mankini. Although police caught the man before he could fully execute his plan, E! News posted a photo of the prankster, who bravely wore a hot-pink mankini and oversized gold chain. That same year, Hayden Panettiere fell down the stairs on the red carpet. Hayden Panettiere might have jinxed herself. US Weekly reported that the actress shouted, "Hallelujah! I made it up the stairs!" when she reached the top. Little did she know she'd tumble on her way down. Panettiere laughed off the mistake and made sure to hold up her dress to prevent a future fall. Rihanna liked a social-media post that criticized celebrities who didn't take the 2017 Met Gala theme seriously. After the 2017 Met Gala, audiences reached the general consensus that Rihanna had taken the theme, "Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons: Art of the In-Between," more seriously than other celebrities. Apparently, Rihanna herself agreed. After making a lasting impression in an elaborate gown from Comme des Garçons' fall 2016 collection, Rihanna liked an Instagram post mocking stars who showed up in attire that seemingly had no connection to the theme, Cosmopolitan reported. The meme read, "What the #MetGala theme was VS how everyone showed up," and showed side-by-side images of over-the-top outfits similar to Rihanna's and a plain, neutral-colored gown. The Weeknd and Selena Gomez shared an awkward kiss on the steps of the Met in 2017. There are plenty of celebrity couples who love to show some PDA on the red carpet (see: Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker), but something about this kiss just screamed awkward. Maybe it was bad timing or a strange camera angle, but the photo serves as an unfortunate reminder of the duo's short-lived relationship. The couple dated for 10 months in 2017, making high-profile appearances at Coachella, the Met Gala, and the Harper's Bazaar Icons party before calling it quits that October. In a red-carpet interview in 2019, Nicki Minaj admitted she didn't understand the meaning of the night's theme. The theme of the 2019 Met Gala, "Camp: Notes on Fashion," confused stars and fans alike. "Up until today, I had no idea what 'camp' was," Nicki Minaj told an interviewer from "Entertainment Tonight.""So, I don't even know if this is camp, to be honest," she added while gesturing to her pink Prabal Gurung gown. The New York Times reported that writer Susan Sontag defined "camp" as "an intentional over-the-top-ness, a slightly (or extremely) 'off' quality, bad taste as a vehicle for good art." Karlie Kloss did not manage to look "camp right in the eye," despite her claim, at the 2019 Met Gala. "I think I broke the internet, but not in a good way," Kloss told Vogue's "Life in Looks" series in 2023. Prior to her arrival at the Met, Kloss posted a photo on Instagram of the reflection of her eye in a small handheld mirror with the caption, "Looking camp right in the eye #metgala." Unfortunately, with competition for best-dressed including Zendaya as a real-life Cinderella and Katy Perry as a literal chandelier, fans were not impressed with Kloss' gold patterned mini dress with exaggerated black puffed sleeves designed by Dapper Dan for Gucci. "I still get — rightfully get — trolled. I'll accept it. Honestly, I deserved that one," Kloss added. In 2021, viewers joked Met Gala livestream host Keke Palmer didn't know who Brooklyn Beckham was after she asked him where he's from. When reporting on the carpet, Palmer asked Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz Beckham — who were then engaged — what the theme, "In America: A Lexicon of Fashion," meant to them. "Well, I'm trying to make him an American right now," said Nicola with a laugh, prompting Palmer to ask where Beckham is from. As the son of famous English soccer player David Beckham and former Spice Girl turned fashion designer Victoria Beckham, that's likely not a question Brooklyn is used to answering. He took the question in stride and said he's from London. But the awkwardness didn't stop there; the couple explained they live in Los Angeles and Nicola made a joke that she'd kidnapped her fiancé to which Palmer replied, "Well, I'm always here for a good kidnapping, OK. A fair trade ain't never been a robbery," before wishing them a wonderful time. Emma Chamberlain and Jack Harlow professed their love for one another in an interview at the 2022 Met Gala. At the 2022 Met Gala, YouTube star and influencer Emma Chamberlain and rapper Jack Harlow exchanged spontaneous expressions of affection upon their first time meeting. When Chamberlain's interview for Vogue came to a close, Harlow let an "I love you" slip out as he walked away from the microphone. Chamberlain responded with "Love ya" before facing the camera wearing a confused expression while (unsuccessfully) trying to hold in a burst of laughter. She seemed to be processing the sentimental exchange. Jimmy Fallon later had both Harlow and Chamberlain respond to the event live on "The Tonight Show." "That's like a piece of art because there's so many ways to interpret that," Harlow said on the show in 2022. "Everyone has a different take on what was going through her head, so I'll leave it up to interpretation." Chamberlain commented on the awkward interaction as well, telling Fallon, "When I'm doing these interviews, it's blank up here. Like, I have no thoughts. And when I go home, and I watch the interviews again, I'm like, watching a completely different person. I have no idea. I'm not thinking about anything. And then I'm like reacting to myself." Dressed as Karl Lagerfeld's cat, Choupette, Doja Cat stayed committed to her character at the 2023 Met Gala, speaking only in meows. In celebration of the 2023 Met Gala theme, "Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty," Doja Cat dressed as the late designer's beloved cat, Choupette. The rapper and singer was committed to her character, replying to every question asked by Vogue red-carpet correspondent Emma Chamberlain with meows. Chamberlain laughed and continued playing along with the bit, resulting in an awkward, yet funny exchange. Olivia Wilde and Margaret Zhang were able to laugh off wearing nearly identical vintage Chloe dresses to the 2023 Met Gala. No one wants to show up at an event wearing the same outfit as someone else, especially not when the "event" in question is the Met Gala. Luckily, the actress and then-Vogue China editor in chief were quick to laugh about their twinning moment. "Great minds," Wilde wrote on her Instagram story, per People. "If you're gonna twin with anyone, make it @margaretzhang." Zhang also poked fun at their outfits, reposting Wilde's story on Instagram and adding, "CUE THE STRINGS," in reference to the violin design at the center of their dresses. Ed Sheeran's feet got stuck in FKA Twigs' dress at the 2024 Met Gala. While posing with Stella McCartney, Cara Delevingne, and FKA Twigs, Ed Sheeran got his feet stuck in FKA Twigs' gown. The custom Stella McCartney look featured loops of strings in a long train that dragged on the white-and-green carpet. The moment was captured in a Vogue interview as McCartney walked Vogue's hosts, actress Gwendoline Christie and model Ashley Graham, through the celebrities' looks. As Sheeran twirled around to show off his suit, his feet got tangled in the dress. "You just wrapped your feet in Miss Twigs here, uh oh, oh God," said Graham as Sheeran unsuccessfully attempted to free his feet. While brief, the incident did require Delevingne's help to untangle the British singer. "Luckily there is a designer here," Christie said.
