60-year-old Banarasi saris and intricate lehengas: Inside Priyanka Chopra Jonas’ Indian wear wardrobe

Priyanka Chopra Jonas’ closet is an ode to Indian craftsmanship. The actor consistently champions cultural heritage, showcasing the intricacy and handiwork behind Indian tradition through some of the country’s most renowned fashion houses. “For me, the design has to make sense. It needs to have a certain je ne sais quoi…it’s personal and difficult to put into words, but whatever I wear, I wear with love and pride and to celebrate its story and its creators,” she told Vogue India in a 2024 interview.

Whether it’s handwoven silks, Parsi gara work or new-age structural silhouettes, her closet is a curated exhibit of Indian artisanal heritage. With choices that blur the boundaries between what has been and what can be, the actor honours Indian design sensibilities with a whole lot of love and pride.

Below, a look at 7 of Priyanka Chopra Jonas’ standout Indianwear outfits and the designers behind them.

For her brother’s wedding earlier this year, the actor opted for a custom-made salwar kameez by re-ceremonial, a contemporary Indian label that specialises in heritage textile and eco-conscious creations. She paired their gold tissue salwar with a silk cotton kameez and a silk organza dupatta, both in a striking terracotta shade achieved through natural dyes–a mix of madder root and marigold flowers. Gold glass beads and metal detailing completed the look.
