5 major style lessons you can steal from Priyanka Chopra’s Instagram page

With a dedicated set of fans on both sides of the globe, every move that Priyanka Chopra makes is a highly-followed one, and the star makes sure to regularly update her 59.7 million Instagram followers on her day-to-day life, be it with snippets from date nights at home or with candid outtakes from her selfie cam. Look closely, and you’ll find that these intimate sneak peeks from multi-hyphenate also often spotlight the key elements that constitute her signature style. If you’re hoping to give your wardrobe a star-approved update in 2021, here are the five big sartorial lessons we’ve learned from a scroll through Chopra’s feed.

1. White works for every occasion

From the red carpet to the red-eye, Priyanka Chopra has found a winner in the timeless elegance of all-white ensembles for every occasion. But as millions took shelter within their homes last year due to COVID-19, the star too spent the majority of her time indoors, and connected with the world virtually in an array of everyday essentials that will help you nail the memo on waist-up dressing. Think textured white blazers and hoops for meetings in the AM, and a ruffled top tucked into a pair of stonewashed jeans for a digital catch-up later. Entertaining guests for dinner? Chopra recommends keeping the denim, but swapping the top for an ivory camisole and sheer jacket for instant après-hours chic.

2. Say yes to the (date night) dress

Date night dressing can be tricky, but nobody understands the appeal of a flirty yet fuss-free dress better than Priyanka Chopra. Note how the silhouette also served as her go-to choice for her very first date with Nick Jonas, as seen in the sweet selfie below. Styled with a baseball cap matching Jonas's, Chopra's red dress came with with graphic motifs that made a strong case for fun prints. In the years since, the hard-earned date nights on the Baywatch stunner’s busy schedule have seen her opting for the dainty romanticism of a midi dress. Among other memorable looks is the metallic number that won her vote for an evening in the idyllic countryside in the South of France, along with a strapless white floral dress with a thigh-high slit. For a leisurely dinner, opt for block heels and messy waves to invite some easy glamour into your look.

3. Everything is better with statement earrings

While life as a multi-hyphenate with a commitments across globe can get busy, it's easy to see that Chopra always finds the time to strike a pose whenever she comes across a golden patch of sunshine, much like the rest of us. If you’re looking to clock in an A-lister-worthy selfie for the 'gram, she recommends accessorising any and every outfit with a pair of standout earrings. Most recently, the eve of Christmas 2020 had the star looking loved-up in a selfie with her beau in coordinated black ensembles and a Santa cap perched over her newly-cut fringe. The main talking point of her look, though, was her choice of earrings—a chunky gold set featuring a whimsical motif of a pair of heels. Other favourites in her book include elevated versions of conventional hoops, from maximalist gold pieces to contemporary spirals. The main takeaway? You need one. Or several.

4. Floral sari + sleeveless blouse = Match made in heaven

While kurtas and sharara sets may regularly enjoy their time in the spotlight, the appeal of a floral sari is unrivalled in this star’s closet. For the most important dates on her calendar, you’ll almost always find Chopra opting for lightweight printed drapes, which she loves to pair with sleeveless blouses, leaving the door open for creative mix-and-match possibilities. Take your cues from the high-shine blouse and floral sari she chose while celebrating Diwali in Cabo—a classic metallic blouse like hers serves as a worthy wardrobe investment that can be teamed with a wide array of drapes later. On days when you're in the mood to match rather than mix, however, you’ll want to bookmark her ensemble from Diwali 2020—a floral sari in sunset hues from Sabyasachi, teamed with a coordinated blouse for maximum impact.

5. Cosycore is coming for your quarantine closet

As an unprecedented crisis took over our lives in 2020, we found ourselves not just working from our homes, but also dressing the part. The cosycore trend will continue to remain relevant as we head outdoors again, and Chopra is paving the way for taking your quarantine-friendly wardrobe with you into the new year. Think buttery-soft ribbed knit separates that are comfortable enough to sleep in, and light crochet set for warm afternoons by the poolside. When the temperature begins its downward descent, you’ll find that cosy turtlenecks can be given a quick upgrade when paired with a lustrous satin skirt like hers.
