Deepika Padukone on Her Pink Underwater-Inspired Dress

Action, there we go!

Yes, ma am, you look like a Barbie

that hopped out the box, girl, the ethnic Barbie,

here we go!

Thank you!

How are you doing, Ms. Deepika?

Amazing, incredible and I think Zack

outdone himself.

Yeah?

And I m having fun!

Good!

Yeah!

I m so glad, so describe to me the

inspiration behind this outfit

and how was it Camp?

I know eventually I look like Barbie Doll

which is what I m feeling like, I think,

you know, when the whole look sort of came together

but I think Zack s inspiration was more like

under water, it has these beautiful sea urchins--

Oh, I see!

You know that was sort of the inspiration

and I think just taking the theme

but also just keeping it beautiful

and elegant because I think that s what

Zack is, that s who I am.

I m just being respectful to the theme.

That s right, you are so beautiful,

so elegant--

Thank you!

And so Camp, how would you describe Camp,

how would you define it if you could?

I think, A, I think it s extremely personal,

I think everyone s interpretation of Camp

is always, you know, very very different

cause it s theatrical and, of course,

it s sort of drama and over the top

but you wanna do it in an elegant

and respectful manner.

Very true, right, we all need to

take a lesson from Deepika, I m just saying,

I m just saying, we need to learn.

So what would you say your most

extravagant moment is, is it tonight?

I would have to say it s tonight--

Yeah?

I would have to say it s tonight!

Well, if this is your inner self

expression, girl, you are beautiful

from the inside out, I m just saying

you look wonderful, of course!

Thank you!

And thank you for reminding me of home,

girl, I m Indian too, so I got that background!

Thank you so much!

And I hope you have a wonderful time inside the Met!

You too!

You go girl, uh, shining, she shining,

go hop back in that plastic Barbie box!

I love that box!

There you go! There you, there you go!

There you go!

She s outside of the box, that s what

the theme of this Met is, just thinkin

outside the box and Barbie is out!

Barbie is out to play tonight!

Bada bing, bada boom!
