Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra made her Oscars debut looking elegant in a white Zuhair Murad strapless gown. Priyanka was congratulated by her Bollywood friends and fans on Twitter for her smashing Oscars debut. Priyanka Chopra opted for a white embellished gown by Lebanese designer Zuhair Murad at her maiden Oscars where she presented the award for Best Film Editing. The former Miss World, who rose to fame last year when her ABC thriller ‘Quantico’, premiered, pulled her hair back into a subtle pony with a center part.
The 33-year-old actress also rocked a very light, golden brown smokey eye. Diamond accessories were an integral part of her wardrobe as Chopra sported big, chunky drop earrings and rings
Priyanka Chopra may have nailed it on the red carpet but she admitted that she was a little nervous about messing up at the Oscars stage while presenting the award. Post the awards, Priyanka tweeted, “And the gold confetti comes down on us! What an evening! #Oscars @Pharrell @anjulaacharia.”
Her decision to wear a gown instead of a sari at the Oscars is a smart professional move. It has little to do with catching the eye of the paparazzi or getting into the Best Dressed List. The strapless gown by Zuhair Murad was rather insignificant from a fashion point of view. It did not make a grand style statement.
She dumped her red pout too. No curls and blow dry. Natural make-up and a low ponytail made up her Oscar look. Priyanka was not making a style statement. She was sending a loud and clear message to Hollywood: She is no exotic creature in a sari or embellished lehenga-choli or salwar kameez making an appearance for the brands she endorses.
No, she did not wear her nationality on her sleeve. Priyanka Chopra wanted the world to see her as any other Hollywood actor who walked into the Dolby Theatre.
