Dhol, Burgundy and Lilly Singh: Inside Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas's LA Diwali Bash
Priyanka Chopra does Diwali like she does everything else: properly.
On 30 October, she and Nick Jonas turned their Los Angeles home into an early Diwali party, and the photos and videos are all over my feed. Dhol beats. Fairy lights. A guest list that crosses three industries.
The look
Let's start with her, because, come on.
Priyanka wore a deep burgundy gown with a fitted, corset-style bodice and an off-the-shoulder neckline, covered in zardozi and gold-thread embroidery with beaded tassels and a dupatta-inspired drape. She styled it with ruby earrings, a kundan maang tikka, gold kadas, and a sleek low bun finished with a white gajra.
Indian craft, Hollywood silhouette. That's the whole Priyanka brand in one outfit, honestly.
Nick kept it classic in a cream-and-white embroidered kurta set. Very supportive husband energy.
Who was there
Reported guests include:
Lilly Singh
Winnie Harlow, in a bold red lehenga
Ashley Park
Rhea Raj, in a saree-inspired look
Radhi Devlukia
Winnie's caption about growing up in Toronto surrounded by different cultures was genuinely sweet.
Why this one feels a bit special
In a viral clip, Priyanka said they wanted to do something special because work had kept them away from home for a long time. And she has a lot of work right now: she's returning to Indian cinema with S S Rajamouli's Varanasi, due in theatres on 7 April 2027.
So this feels less like a press event and more like a family exhale before a very busy year.
I love that Diwali is now just a thing in LA. Dhol beats, gajras and lehengas in California. We've come a long way.
