Stop the presses — Priyanka Chopra Jonas has officially mastered the Met Gala multiverse. For her fifth strut up fashion’s most famous staircase, she ditched the expected gown and came in hot with a polka-dot power suit dress by Balmain’s Olivier Rousteing, proving once again that she doesn’t follow trends — she tailors them.
With this year’s theme, Superfine: Tailoring Black Style, Chopra served a slick homage to the legacy of the Black dandy — equal parts elegance, defiance, and “don’t mess with me” energy. Think old-school Hollywood silhouette meets 2025 gender-fluid tailoring — with polka dots that felt less “tea party” and more “mic drop.” And because she is Priyanka Chopra, the look was dipped in Bvlgari sparkle — diamonds so sharp they could cut glass (or egos).
Enter Nick Jonas, her Met partner-in-style since 2017 and real-life gentleman of the evening. While many might crumble under the pressure of matching Chopra’s energy, Nick brought his own sleek charm in a tailored suit that screamed “supporting lead in the rom-com of the year.” Bonus points for carrying the train of Priyanka’s look like a red-carpet squire — chivalry isn’t dead, it’s just well-dressed.
In a year when Indian representation glittered across the Met steps — from Diljit Dosanjh’s royal turban moment to Kiara Advani’s sculptural debut and Shah Rukh Khan’s star turn — Priyanka reminded the world why she’s the original global fashion force. Nostalgia, couture, and cultural conversation in one outfit? Now that’s how you tailor a legacy.
