For the dress code ‘Tailored for You’, Chopra made a statement in custom Balmain by Olivier Rousteing, merging the sharp lines of traditional menswear with high-octane feminine glamour. The white halter-neck gown, speckled with black polka dots, was cinched at the waist with a slim belt and fastened with a line of black buttons—tailored, striking, and utterly fresh. Adding to the look’s structure, she layered a matching polka-dot blazer, tailored to perfection with a nipped-in waist and an elongated, sweeping hem.
Styled by Mimi Cuttrell, the look nodded to the elegance of dandyism. A wide-brimmed black hat and matching gloves added a formal edge, evoking mid-century sophistication with just the right amount of theatrical flair.
But the real drama came from the jewellery. Chopra wore Bvlgari’s Magnus Emerald Necklace, part of the brand’s new Polychroma collection. The centrepiece was a whooping 241.06-carat faceted emerald—the largest ever set by Bvlgari—surrounded by a galaxy of shimmering diamonds. Bulgari diamond earrings and an emerald ring finished the look.

Nick Jonas matched Chopra’s energy in a coordinating black-and-white ensemble, sleek and tailored. On the red carpet, the couple spoke about the collaborative process behind their looks. “The theme for us is about working with creatives who get the 360 vision—who think about it from every angle,” Jonas shared.
Chopra noted the particular resonance of this year’s concept. “This year’s theme, I was so excited about just because of the excellence of it, the tailoring of it. It’s an expression of what fashion has been, and there’s such a power to it.”
The exhibition, centred on the tradition of dandyism and its evolution within Black style, found an old Hollywood-esque interpretation in Chopra’s look.
