Priyanka Chopra Jonas dazzles at a Sicilian soiree in vintage Dior

A Roman holiday might be cinematic, but Sicily sure knows how to throw a fashion event. Over the weekend, Priyanka Chopra Jonas touched down in Taormina, Sicily, for one of the most exclusive style soirées of the season. Against the backdrop of coastal cliffs and ancient ruins, the actor made a case for vintage elegance in a beige shift dress by Dior, complete with a sheer overlay and delicate floral appliqué work.

The occasion? An invite-only affair hosted by Bulgari, celebrating their latest high jewellery Polychroma watch offerings. But the red carpet felt more like an editorial spread come to life—with stars, style, and sparkle in equal measure.

Delicate, dreamy, Dior

Chopra-Jonas’s fashion instincts rarely miss, and this was no exception. The vintage Dior dress she chose was a study in subtlety: understated in tone, yet rich in texture and detail. The soft beige base was layered with gossamer-like tulle, scattered with 3D floral embellishments. Her hair was swept up into a tousled updo—elegant but unfussy—letting her earrings take the spotlight.

As for her beauty look, it was classic Chopra: radiant skin, softly smoked eyes, and an earthy-toned lip that pulled everything together. If red carpet fashion has seasons, this was spring distilled into couture.

While the dress leaned towards ethereal, her jewellery brought the drama. Chopra wore a stunning ruby and diamond Serpenti necklace from Bulgari—a bold contrast to the softness of her gown. And the styling was refreshingly understated too: the pieces felt like an extension of her elegance rather than a billboard moment.

A Sicilian soirée to remember

The event drew an international crowd, including fellow global style stars like BLACKPINK’s Lisa, who also serves as a brand muse. The guest list may have been intimate, but it was packed with industry insiders and fashion’s elite. Chopra was seen mingling effortlessly with guests, raising toasts, striking up conversations, and, naturally, posing for more than a few photos that quickly made their way across global fashion feeds. The setting—a seaside venue with dramatic views and late-spring breezes—only heightened the dreamlike quality of the evening.

Vintage, but make it now

Priyanka Chopra Jonas’s look in Sicily was proof that vintage doesn’t mean dated. In fact, when styled with her signature ease and confidence, it feels even more relevant than ever. Whether she's championing Indian designers or breathing new life into archival Dior, Chopra is, above all else, consistent in one thing: She always delivers the moment.
