The Met Gala 2025 may still be a couple of days away, but the fashion festivities have already begun, and Priyanka Chopra is right in the thick of it. On Saturday night, the global star stepped out in style for a high-profile launch dinner in New York City, where she was seen mingling with fellow style icons Lupita Nyong’o and Euphoria star Hunter Schafer.

The event, hosted to celebrate designer Olivier Rousteing’s new collaboration with Johnnie Walker Vault, brought together some of fashion’s most daring personalities. Priyanka turned heads in a shimmering black gown paired with strappy heels, effortlessly blending classic elegance with contemporary glamour. Photos from the evening, now making waves online, show the actor smiling alongside Lupita and Hunter, clearly at ease among Hollywood’s fashion elite. Lupita opted for a bold black-and-white ensemble, while Hunter kept things edgy in a silver-and-black mini dress.
The gathering served as a stylish warm-up to the Met Gala, set for May 5 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This year’s theme, Tailored For You, pays homage to the art of menswear tailoring with a strong spotlight on Black designers. The accompanying exhibit, Superfine: Tailoring Black Style, is historic in its scope, being the first Met display to exclusively celebrate Black fashion visionaries.
The 2025 Gala will see a strong Indian presence. Apart from Priyanka, stars like Shah Rukh Khan, Kiara Advani, and Diljit Dosanjh are confirmed attendees. All eyes are now on their upcoming red carpet appearances.
