For the Gold House Gala in New York City, marking 25 years of Priyanka Chopra Jonas on the global stage, Amit Aggarwal envisioned a custom couture look that honoured heritage through a contemporary lens. Created in collaboration with stylist Ami Patel, the piece emerged from a shared intention to create something deeply personal to Priyanka’s roots while reflecting the evolution of Indian craftsmanship on an international platform.

All about Priyanka Chopra's iconic outfit

Being from Uttar Pradesh India, it felt deeply meaningful for Priyanka Chopra Jonas to champion a craft intrinsically tied to her origins. The starting point became Chikankari, the historic embroidery tradition native to Lucknow, celebrated for its fragility, translucence and quiet strength. The way light passes through Chikankari feels symbolic of Priyanka herself, someone constantly evolving, transcending boundaries, and carrying Indian identity onto the global stage.
