Honored with the Green Globe Award at the ceremony presented by the International Indian Film Academy, she styled a white lehenga with a blue velvet choli.

Meghan Markle’s good friend also performed to pay tribute to Indian playback singer and entrepreneur Asha Bhosle.

In an interview with InStyle in June 2019, Chopra talked about her love for the popular garment from the Indian subcontinent.

“Saris are my favorite,” she said. “My problem is when it comes to Indian fashion, there are always these shiny, sequined, over-the-top Christmas-tree outfits. Those are not the saris I wear. I grew up with my mother wearing saris to the hospital, as a doctor. She’d wear these beautiful ones made of French chiffon, with a bindi (a colored dot worn on the center of the forehead) over here,” Chopra added while pointing to her forehead.

“And the nape of her neck would smell like Dior’s Poison. That, to me, was a modern woman. And that’s what I want to show the world. Indian designers make such incredible clothes that are inspired from beautiful embroidery and patterns.”

5 years later, the Quantico actress looked nothing short of stunning at the Elle Women in Television dinner held at Sunset Tower Hotel in West Hollywood.

The then 33-year-old Indian actress turned heads in a striking cobalt blue dress by Vionnet.

Her sexy one-shouldered frock was tied into a huge knot at the hip, which created a thigh-high slit.

She carried a silver Rauwolf clutch and slipped on a pair of Christian Louboutin pumps.
