Priyanka Chopra stole the spotlight in a striking black spaghetti-strap dress adorned with bold red and white polka dots. The fitted silhouette flared slightly toward the hem with a ruffled finish, adding movement and drama. She completed the look with soft waves, subtle jewellery, and a natural glam makeup look. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Patty Cardona (@jerryxmimi) Huma Abedin looked elegant in an ivory midi dress featuring delicate grey embroidered motifs throughout. Her long-sleeved silhouette had a soft, flowing structure with a cinched waist, paired with black open-toe heels. Minimal jewellery and softly styled hair completed the refined daytime look. Anjula Acharia, on the other hand, opted for a sleek, satin-like teal slip dress that fell just below the knee. The minimalist silhouette with thin straps gave the outfit a polished yet effortless feel. She paired it with oversized black sunglasses, delicate bracelets, and strappy nude heels for the chic garden-party look.More glimpses inside the pre-Oscars festivities
The dinner hosted by Rolex was set around a long, elegantly arranged table draped in a crisp white tablecloth. Down the centre, small glass vases filled with vibrant yellow flowers were placed at intervals, interspersed with glowing candles in glass holders, casting a warm, intimate light across the table. Each place setting featured neatly arranged plates, folded napkins, polished cutlery, and multiple wine glasses, while guests gathered around the beautifully lit table to kick off the pre-Oscars evening.
