It’s official! Priyanka Chopra Jonas is set to return to the MET Gala for her fifth appearance on the global haute couture carpet. More than just a guest, she’s long been the face of Bollywood at fashion’s most elite event — a trailblazer since her unforgettable 2017 debut in a Ralph Lauren trench-gown that took the internet by storm. Over the years, she has defined what it means to represent India on the world’s most glamorous stage, setting the gold standard for every Indian star to follow.

This year, Priyanka teams up with Olivier Rousteing of Balmain for what promises to be a show-stopping look, perfectly paired with a striking piece from Bvlgari’s latest high jewellery collection — pure MET magic.
