Priyanka Chopra Reinvents Red-Carpet Style with Pirate-Core Glam


Written by Intern Swara Bodke || Team Allycaral

Priyanka Chopra has once again proven why she is considered India’s global fashion icon. The actress recently stepped out for the promotional tour of her upcoming action film, transforming the red carpet into a pirate-core runway with three stunning ensembles.
Her first look featured the elegant Datt Tidal Gown, inspired by sea elements. The off-shoulder white gown showcased delicate lace detailing and soft tidal patterns that reflected beachside aesthetics. Feminine and graceful, the outfit was priced at Rs 69,132 and styled with gold hoop earrings and a statement ring, keeping the look minimal yet impactful.
For another appearance, Priyanka embraced modern glamour in a structured white gown featuring bold cut-outs and a thigh-high slit. The silhouette highlighted sophistication while maintaining the dramatic pirate-core theme through its fluid design and confident styling.


The final look made the biggest statement — an electric blue sheer gown from Altuzarra’s Fall/Winter 2025 couture collection. The outfit featured a structured top with a prominent bow neckline, paired with a completely see-through skirt that added a bold, edgy appeal. She elevated the look with a Judith Leiber Bali Parrot Clutch and Christian Louboutin Hot Chick Pumps in burnt copper tones.
With corsets, sheer silhouettes, dramatic textures, and statement accessories, Priyanka Chopra once again demonstrated how theatrical fashion storytelling can redefine celebrity style. In an era where red-carpet looks often feel predictable, she continues to push boundaries and command attention with confidence and elegance.

Priyanka Chopra has shared fresh glimpses from her relaxing getaway in Goa, describing her time there as “a few healing days” in one of her most favourite places in the world. Currently in India for work, including her appearance at the grand GlobeTrotter event in Hyderabad where the title of her upcoming SS Rajamouli film Varanasi was unveiled, Priyanka took a short break from her schedule to spend time in the coastal paradise. Her newly posted photo dump captures moments of warmth, laughter, and serenity as she enjoyed a luxurious property with her close friends Tamanna Dutt and Sudeep Dutt. One of the highlights was revisiting Pousada by the Beach, a restaurant she returned to after seven years, along with soaking in quiet beach time and playing carrom—where she admitted she lost several times and needed more practice.

Priyanka also expressed gratitude for the hospitality of Pinky Reddy and GV Sanjay Reddy at their beautiful home, Palacio Aguada, describing her time there as both comforting and memorable. In her caption, she wrote about Goa’s spirit—how its people, food, and culture embody kindness and warmth, making the city adaptable to whatever one needs, whether rest, joy, or escape. She concluded her post saying, “It just wasn’t enough time,” a reflection of how deeply connected she feels to the place.

Alongside her Goa trip, Priyanka also shared pictures with her Varanasi co-stars Mahesh Babu and Prithviraj Sukumaran.

With global promotions beginning almost a year ahead of release, Priyanka expressed excitement at the response the film is already generating.

Beyond India, Priyanka’s schedule remains packed. She is set to return as Nadia Sinh in season two of Citadel, and she will star alongside Karl Urban in The Bluff, playing a 19th-century Caribbean pirate. She was most recently seen in the action thriller Heads of State with Idris Elba and John Cena. Her Goa getaway offered a brief but meaningful pause—one that reminded fans why the actress continues to balance intense work commitments with moments of grounding and gratitude.
