Met Gala 2018: Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra sizzle in red

Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone were a vision in red at the 2018 Met Gala held in New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art.

This year's theme was "Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination" and both the Bollywood beauties turned heads in red hot sizzling numbers. Padukone chose a Prabal Gurung ensemble while Chopra chose a custom-made Ralph Lauren velvet cape gown with a gold-embroidered hood.


Talking about Padukone's attire, Gurung told Vogue India that the actress has been a longtime friend and muse. "She embodies all of the ideals I respect in a woman—she is beautiful on the inside and out; intelligent, assured, poised, yet with a sense of levity and joy. I am honoured she is joining me on such a special evening,” the designer said.

Photos of both the actresses were shared on the Met’s official Twitter page as well as on the Instagram accounts of their respective designers.

Padukone's loos this year is a far cry from her previous outing. Although she looked radiant in a white Tommy Hilfiger satin slip dress gown, the ensemble failed to impress critics.

On the other hand, Chopra made quite a fashion statement in a Ralph Lauren trench-coat gown with a massive train.

TroyBoi returns to his Indian roots with Rootz EP using Lata Mangeshkar’s voice to redefine British diaspora music

Highlights:

  • TroyBoi’s five-track EP Rootz is a personal return to the sounds of his childhood, released via Ultra Records in September 2025.
  • The single Kabhi uses an officially cleared sample of Lata Mangeshkar’s vocal from Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham.
  • Collaborations with Amrit Maan, Jazzy B and BombayMami plug Punjabi, Bhangra and south-Asian textures directly into modern trap and bass production.
  • This EP is part of a wider wave: British artists born into diasporas are using heritage not as garnish but as foundation.

Some albums hit you in ways you don’t see coming. Rootz is one of them. Not just another trap EP. TroyBoi, the London-born producer known for global bass and trap, has made something that’s also deeply personal. He didn’t just want to make music that bangs in clubs; instead, he wanted to reach back to the India of his childhood. And he did it with Rootz.

The track everyone’s talking about is Kabhi. Because it’s not just sampling Bollywood. Lata Mangeshkar’s voice was officially cleared for use on a non-Bollywood release, a milestone reported by multiple outlets. It’s history. It’s memory. And it’s a bridge.
