Ready to see how vintage vibes stole the night? Let's have a look.
Demonstrating exquisite Black Style tailoring, Priyanka donned a custom-made white Balmain suit dress flecked with vivid black polka dots. Designed by Olivier Rousteing, the seamlessly sculpted waist and structured shoulders paid homage to Old Hollywood glam, while the thigh-skimming pencil skirt and dramatic train balanced the look with a touch of friskiness. A wide-brimmed black hat and matching gloves added the final flourish to the vintage collection.

The real drama, however, unveiled around Priyanka’s neck, bedecked by Bvlgari’s Magnus Emerald Necklace from the new Polychroma collection. The necklace featured an astounding 241.06-carat faceted emerald - the grandest ever set by the Roman jeweller - fringed by career diamonds, buff-top emeralds, and pavé-set diamonds. A pair of matching Bvlgari diamond earrings and a boasty emerald ring completed the gilded trifecta, turning her open neckline into a scintillating work of art.

Why emeralds? Beyond their glaring hue, emeralds have long been the symbol of wisdom and modernisation - felicitous for a night memorializing the evolution of Black tailoring and identity. And yes, that stupendous green gem pretty much ensured that every camera flash in New York lit up her neckline.

Met Gala Theme 2025: Black Dandyism
The evening’s theme explored how Black identity has been articulated through fine tailoring - from 18th-century dandies to today’s trailblazers. Priyanka’s ensemble nailed the balance with finesse: the boxy cuts of a suit dress redefined by subtle femininity, much like modern androgynous fashion. Her look wasn’t just glamorous; it was a voguish tribute to sartorial heritage.
2025 marked Priyanka Chopra Jonas’s fifth Met Gala appearance, and it reminds us why fashion and storytelling go arm in arm. With her kittenish polka-dot suit dress, out of this world emerald necklace, and persistent elegance, she exalted the heritage while serving looks that scream ‘fiercely of-the-moment.’
