Priyanka Chopra Jonas turns the Oscars 2026 into her personal runway in a custom Dior thigh-slit gown, and Nick Jonas has to be her best accessory

When we talk about commanding presence on the global red carpet, there are a few stars across the globe who can do it with the proper poise and honour. Well, Priyanka Chopra Jonas has to be one of them. Making her return as a presenter at the 98th Academy Awards after almost 10 years, the diva, alongside her husband Nick Jonas, turned the spotlight firmly in her direction in a stunning custom Dior gown, which instantly became one of the most-talked-about fashion moments of the hour.

The diva wore a white strapless Dior gown featuring form-fitting gathered detailing around the waistline, followed by a statement thigh-high risky slit with unexpected feather detailing and subtle pleats. The combination of soft feathers with a slit touch had to be the most interesting detail of her look, which she beautifully managed to carry off. She completed the look with a sleek diamond necklace and added a pair of matching stud earrings encrusted with precious, glittery stones.

Keeping her hair and makeup on fleek, always like no other, Priyanka took no risk and simply left her hair down in soft Hollywood waves with a side parting show. She kept a dewy base with glittery soft eyes, winged eyeliner, defined eyebrows, peachy cheeks painted with glamorous highlighter, and a brownish-red lipstick, which gave a neat, balanced overall show.

Holding Priyanka Chopra’s hand through thick and thin, Nick Jonas marched at the Dolby Theatre in a classic black tuxedo with a sleek bowtie look. He allowed the limelight to be on his wife and looked charming in a simple black-and-white suit. However, fans noticed that he was wearing a red ‘kalava’ on his wrist, which is a sacred Hindu thread that acts as a spiritual shield against negative energy.

Making her debut on the red carpet of the Oscars back in 2016, the diva became the centre of attraction across the globe for her strapless white couture gown by Zuhair Murad. She picked a stunning piece from the designer’s Spring/Summer 2016 collection, which featured a mermaid silhouette with intricate lace and feather-like detailing, which gave an almost ‘naked dress’ illusion. It also came with a structured cage-style bodice and fitted waistline, which enhanced her side curves, making her look like no less than a runway model.
