At the 2025 Met Gala, Priyanka Chopra Jonas didn’t just show up—she stole the show. Dressed in a custom polka-dotted Balmain gown that combined old-world tailoring with modern star-power, the actor made sure all eyes were on her. With a sharply cinched waist, structured shoulders, and a sweeping hem, Priyanka’s look nodded to dandy fashion, borrowing elements from men’s tailcoats and military-inspired cuts.
But it was her Bvlgari necklace—and the internet’s reaction—that truly added to the moment. Draped around her neck was the Magnus Emerald Necklace, set with a whopping 241.06-carat emerald—the largest ever set by the brand, according to Vogue India. The piece debuted from Bvlgari’s new Polychroma collection.

The line that’s gone viral? “Junglee billi ate King Khan.”

Fans meant it as a cheeky callback to her iconic ‘junglee billi’ persona from Don—and a bold claim that she outshone not just Shah Rukh Khan, but everyone else at the Met Gala.
Still, amidst all the fashion frenzy, it was her moment with Nick Jonas that felt most grounded. Dressed in coordinated white, the couple were photographed outside New York’s Carlyle Hotel ahead of the event. In one candid moment, Nick gently lifted the skirt of Priyanka’s gown to help her walk to their car—an act that quickly went viral online. Fans were quick to label it a “cute hubbie alert” moment.
The Met Gala holds sentimental value for the couple. Their first official appearance together was back in 2017, when Priyanka’s now-iconic Ralph Lauren trench coat gown with an endless train went viral. In 2023, they walked the red carpet again, calling it a full-circle moment.
