Priyanka Chopra Has Found Summer’s Perfect Slip Dress

If summer has one essential, it’s a slip dress. When temperatures rise, it instantly becomes the most cherished closet staple: both effortlessly chic and lightweight enough to withstand the heat. And while there’s no shortage of options available, today Priyanka Chopra stepped out in New York wearing a patterned version that stood above the rest. The actress’s ice blue look, from LA-based label Hale Bob, featured a paisley print filled with illustrations of marine life. Though it took a moment of closer inspection to appreciate the details of coral, fish, and crustaceans, the playful print is what instantly makes the dress more than just a standard summer staple.

Priced at $338, Chopra’s silk dress isn’t Zara-level affordable, but it’s the kind of conversation starting statement piece that ends up earning far more than its value through cost-per-wear. Paired with a petite Ferragamo Boxyz bag in a coordinating shade of blue and glossy nude sandals, the outfit had just the right amount of cool to counteract the current warm front. And fresh from her birthday celebrations last week, what better way to indulge than in a little window shopping to find new sartorial options to beat the heat? For now, though, it seems Chopra has summer dressing covered.

Priyanka Chopra and Sophie Turner Do Girls-Night-Out Style Two Ways in L.A.

Priyanka Chopra and Sophie Turner are committed besties. For Chopra’s wedding extravaganza to Nick Jonas last year, Turner completed all of her bridal party duties, joining Chopra every step of the way from the bachelorette party in Amsterdam to the big blowout ceremony in Jodphur, India. But now that the celebrations have dwindled and the new year has begun, it’s back to regular scheduled programming for the two friends—and that includes painting the town red. Last night the duo hit the streets of Los Angeles, and took the outing as an opportunity to serve up two very distinctive looks.

Turner was clearly in the mood for Americana style: the British Game of Thrones actress wore stars-and-stripes-covered rugby shirt as a dress with simple black tights. To give it a more fashiony spin, though, she accessorized with a black top-handle bag by Louis Vuitton, as well as the French label’s monogrammed Archlight sneakers, the cool shoe du jour. Meanwhile, Chopra went a more subdued route, in a chic snakeskin coat, a black tank, and trousers that were cinched with a thin belt to accentuate her waist. She finished things off with pointy black pumps, and a sleek black handbag by Bulgari with a chain strap.

While the two stars are virtually inseparable these days, their latest fashion spotting made one thing super clear: they certainly haven’t molded into each other yet, at least when it comes to personal style.

Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra Do Holiday Date Night In Style

It’s only been a few weeks since Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas tied the knot in Jodphur, India. And for the holiday season, the well-dressed couple are continuing the united style front that they so expectedly mastered before getting married. Stepping out together for a double dinner date with Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner in London this week, Chopra and Jonas relied on polished, quietly luxurious pieces to kick off their Christmas festivities.

On Chopra, winter white was the key theme: she wore an elegant silk dress that was wrap-tied at the waist, and threw on a cozy white coat overtop. To keep the monochromatic color palette going, she then accessorized with stretch ankle boots in a slightly off-white hue. As for Jonas, he kept things dapper in a gingham single-breasted topcoat in black and grey, styling it with a classic black turtleneck, black jeans, and sleek ankle boots. (He, too, going for one all-over color.) Though some celebrity couples have gone full-on matchy matchy for their Christmas celebrations (please refer to J-Rod’s coordinating flannels) it’s no surprise “Nickyanka” have chosen to sync up in a much more fashion-minded way.
