Actress Erica Fernandes recently turned heads in a Viking look at an awards ceremony. The actress’ red carpet look caught everyone’s attention and Erica mentioned that many couldn’t even recognise her.
When asked about what was going through her mind while deciding the look, Erica told ETimes TV during an exclusive conversation, “I was very kicked about the fact that I was in a different attire and was on the red carpet. A lot of people didn’t recognise me. I got out of the car, and people started guessing. It’s funny how people don’t follow themes in India. I was very excited to get a Met Gala theme for the red carpet. When I entered, I realised I was the only one following the theme.”
The actress then goes on to add how she got trolled for following a theme and dressing accordingly. She said, “What turned out to be shocking was, I got trolled for following a theme and others weren’t for not following. It was funny because this is what you get for following rules. I noticed that you follow rules, you get picked on. I don’t know how to put it in a nicer way, you don’t follow rules, you become a star. You follow rules, you get beaten up.”
“I got trolled quite a bit. People commented, ‘Is she going to the Met gala or walking a red carpet?’ I don’t think people even knew that it was the Met Gala theme red carpet. I don’t know if it was communicated to the media. People who knew about the theme loved the look. Some news portals called it my ‘worst look’,” she added.
