On February 18, during the world premiere celebrations of her upcoming film The Bluff, Priyanka Chopra delivered not one but two unforgettable fashion moments. However, it was her afterparty appearance at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles that truly captured attention. Dressed in a bold yellow saree-inspired couture gown, Priyanka blended Indian heritage with global glamour — and completed the look with a statement accessory that sparked conversation worldwide.

The gown, designed by celebrated Indian couturier Gaurav Gupta, came from his latest couture collection. The piece reflected Priyanka’s long-standing love for sarees while embracing a modern silhouette. She later shared that the look was also a tribute to her character in The Bluff, Ercell “Bloody Mary” Bodden. In the film’s opening scene, her character appears with a dupatta draped over her head — a detail Priyanka echoed by styling part of her gown as a dramatic cape-like head drape.

The bright yellow shade symbolized India’s vibrant color palette, and the gown itself was a beautiful mix of tradition and contemporary tailoring. The design featured a pleated, pallu-inspired drape placed elegantly over the shoulder, cascading into a floor-sweeping train.

The corset-style bodice enhanced her silhouette, while gathered detailing at the waist and hips added texture and depth. A daring thigh-high slit introduced a bold, modern edge to the otherwise classic inspiration. The figure-skimming fit balanced structure with fluid movement, creating a powerful yet graceful presence on the red carpet.

While the gown was breathtaking, it was Priyanka’s handbag that truly stole the spotlight. She carried the “Sunken Treasure Chest” bag by American luxury brand Judith Leiber. Known for its artistic and crystal-covered minaudières, the brand is a favorite for statement evening accessories.

The treasure chest-shaped clutch was crafted in brass and adorned with dark hematite crystals and colorful gemstone embellishments. It featured a brass handle and a heart-shaped brass padlock, giving it a whimsical yet luxurious finish. The accessory perfectly complemented Priyanka’s pirate character in the film, cleverly tying her red carpet look to the movie’s theme. She even highlighted the bag in her caption, writing, “PS: Don’t miss my treasure chest.”

The price of this eye-catching accessory adds to its headline-making appeal. According to the brand’s website, the bag retails for $7,295.

Priyanka completed the ensemble with gold crystal-strap stilettos, delicate rings, and matching earrings. Her hair was styled in soft, loose curls, and she opted for minimal strawberry-toned makeup with glowing skin and glossy lips. The understated beauty look allowed the gown and bag to remain the stars of the evening.

With this appearance, Priyanka once again proved her ability to seamlessly blend Indian craftsmanship with international fashion. The look was bold, symbolic, and unforgettable, but that glittering treasure chest ensured all eyes stayed firmly on her.
