Actress and producer Priyanka Chopra Jonas has already had an inimitable worldwide career, so it makes sense that she's being honored for her artistic contributions.
Chopra Jonas—who is styled by Ami Patel—was awarded the inaugural Global Vanguard Honor at Gold House's fifth annual Gold Gala on Saturday, May 8. For the occasion, the movie star wore a very special gown, created specifically for the event and featuring an incomparable backstory.
Discussing Chopra Jonas's jaw-dropping outfit on Instagram, acclaimed fashion journalist and editor Sujata Assomull shared, "This look is very much a collaboration between Priyanka's trusted stylist of many years, @stylebyami and designer [Amit Aggarwal] and it shows."
Assomull continued, "This silhouette is reportedly reimagined from a 20-year-old Chikankari sari. Ancient Craft, Old Sari, New Context." As for why the design feels so fitting for this particular event, the editor explained, "And as @priyankachopra celebrates 25 years on the global stage: this silhouette, this story, and this team feels exactly right."
