A sling bag, blood red lips and golden hoops complimented her look. Deepika Padukone chose a golden velvet dress with black tights. It looked familiar as she had worn it with distressed jeans at Kaajal Anand's birthday party at Shah Rukh Khan's home in January this year.

Dippy was keen to make a sartorial statement that repeating clothes is okay. But not at the Met Gala events, which is considered the night of high fashion. Did she think no one would remember what she wore four months ago? Not sure what was on her mind.

Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry

Singer Katy Perry and actor Orlando Bloom are dating "exclusively again". "Orlando and Katy are great. They are dating exclusively again and things seem more serious," a source told people.com just a day after the pair met Pope Francis in Vatican City and explored some of Rome's famed sights. "They are both excited about it and don't want to hide, but at the same time they are trying to keep privacy as well," the source added.

As for Bloom, the insider said he "seems very happy", adding, "It's obvious that they both missed each other after their split. Their relationship seems stronger now. Orlando got sick of being single. Dating different women is not so alluring to him anymore." Perry and Bloom first sparked rumours of a reconciliation earlier this year by vacationing together in the Maldives. They went sightseeing in Prague two months later.

In March, they also spent time together in Tokyo, where Perry seemingly dedicated her song "For me you see" to Bloom as he took in a show on her Witness world tour in the audience. A source had said in March that they were taking it slow following their split in February 2017.
