Actress Priyanka Chopra Jonas is set to be honoured at the upcoming Gold House Gold Gala 2026. The event is scheduled to take place on May 9 at The Music Centre in downtown Los Angeles. Along with PeeCee, several other awardees will also be honoured at the event.
Among the key honours, Priyanka Chopra Jonas will be awarded the prestigious Global Vanguard Honour, acknowledging her remarkable 25-year career that has bridged the Asian Pacific and Western entertainment industries. Notably, Priyanka's body of work spans acclaimed performances in Hindi cinema and Hollywood, alongside her continued efforts to spotlight emerging and underrepresented talent through her production banner, Purple Pebble Pictures.

It is expanding its vision into a broader global platform that recognises cultural influence and impact across industries.

The event is set to bring together over 650 influential leaders to celebrate the Gold 100 List. The standout honorees this year include Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Charles Melton, Jet Li, Simu Liu, Eileen Gu and more, all of whom will be recognised for their contributions to culture and global storytelling.
The evening is also expected to feature appearances from Gold 100 honourees across diverse sectors such as entertainment, business, technology, fashion, social impact, sports and gaming. Notables such as Theresia Gouw, HUMAN MADE, Tejasvi Manoj, Jen Lee and Brett Bolton will take the stage to share their vision for the future.
