Priyanka Chopra's stunning red carpet appearances of 2016

Priyanka Chopra has just returned to the bay after spending the better part of the year in the US, where she was shooting for the second season of ‘Quantico’. The actress has slowly but surely become the darling of the West, not only for her talent but also for her sartorial elegance.

2016 proved to be a great year for her as she made some breathtaking appearances on the red carpet which took Hollywood by storm. Priyanka started the year in a daring Vera Wang dress at the People’s Choice Awards and things only got better when she presented at the Oscars in a strapless gown by Zuhair Murad. Take a look at her best red carpet appearances of the year.

All eyes were on Priyanka Chopra as she made her debut appearance at the Oscars this year. The actress looked like a dream in a Zuhair Murad strapless gown, which featured a heart-shaped bodice with appliqué details. The former Miss World completed her look with a low pony and smokey eyes. Interestingly, her Oscar gown was one of the most searched outfits, according to a report by Google Trends.

What’s a star without some bling, right? PeeCee dazzled in a Vera Wang sequinned dress with shades of gold and silver as she walked the red carpet at the People’s Choice Awards in January. She paired the stunning dress with a pair of silver Jimmy Choos. The look was completed with dramatic eyes, subtle lip colour, Leticia Linton and Anita Ko earrings and rings from Djula and H Stern.

Priyanka Chopra’s appearance at the Primetime Emmy Awards 2016 has gone on to become one of her most iconic looks. One look at it and you’ll know why. The actress looked ravishing in her red number by Jason Wu. She finished the look with a sleek ponytail, a diamond ring and drop earrings. Oh and don’t forget the red lip! And our girl sure knows how to leave an impression – Priyanka let her gown do all the talking as she twirled her way down the red carpet.

If she can rock a red, she can also work a subtle blue. Priyanka made jaws drop as she sported an Atelier Versace backless blue column gown at the Billboard Music Awards this year. The cerulean blue halter dress with a thigh-high slit was paired with striking earrings. She kept her make-up casual and simple, opting for a nude sun-kissed look and a messy braid.

Priyanka made us proud when she was one of the guests at the 2016 White House Correspondents’ dinner hosted by US President Barack Obama. The actress chose a semi-sheer Zuhair Murad tear gown with a plunging neckline. Keeping with the mood of the occasion, she stuck to minimal makeup and accessories.
