Priyanka Chopra Shows off Glamorous See-Through Dress for Variety Photoshoot
Priyanka Chopra is currently setting social media ablaze with a bold new look that proves she remains one of the most daring fashion icons on the global stage. For a high-profile Variety cover shoot released in February, the actress donned a series of breathtaking gowns that blended high-fashion artistry with raw glamour.
Among the many looks captured by celebrity stylists Wayman Bannerman and Micah McDonald, a shimmering gold gown has stood out as the undisputed showstopper of the collection.
The dress in question features a daring see-through silhouette constructed from thousands of tiny, intricate flower-shaped embellishments. With a plunging halter neckline and high side slits that reveal a floor-length hem, the gown hugged her frame in all the right places as she posed effortlessly on a set of velvet couches.
She paired the “naked” gold look with strappy metallic heels and a selection of dangling Bvlgari diamond earrings, keeping the rest of her accessories minimal to let the craftsmanship of the dress take center stage.
For her beauty look, Priyanka chose a soft, modern palette that allowed her natural features to shine through the high-impact fashion. Her dark hair was styled in a voluminous, side-parted blowout that cascaded over her shoulders in polished waves.
She highlighted her eyes with a subtle winged liner and opted for a glossy peach lip shade, creating a look that felt ultra glamorous while still retaining an air of effortless sophistication.

As of February, Priyanka is navigating one of the most prolific periods of her international career, with several major projects slated for release in the coming weeks. She is currently preparing for the premiere of The Bluff, a swashbuckling action-thriller set to debut on Prime Video on February 25.
In the film, which she also produced, she stars as a former pirate named Ercell “Bloody Mary” Bodden, who must defend her family from the ghosts of her violent past. The “hard-R” rated film features Karl Urban and Temuera Morrison and showcases a much grittier, physically demanding side of the actress.
In addition to her film work, Priyanka recently confirmed that a second season of the high-stakes spy series Citadel is officially in development. While she admitted in her Variety interview that she has no idea about the long-term future of the franchise beyond the next installment, she remains committed to her role as top-tier agent Nadia Sinh.
Fans of her work in Indian cinema also have much to look forward to, as she has officially wrapped filming on Varanasi, a time-traveling epic directed by S.S. Rajamouli. The project, which also stars Mahesh Babu, marks her significant return to the Telugu and Hindi film industries in over a decade.
Outside of her acting commitments, Priyanka continues to be a powerful voice on the global stage, recently addressing the Harvard India Conference as a keynote speaker. She also recently celebrated the success of her production, Anuja, which received critical acclaim during the 2025 award season.
