Priyanka Chopra Jonas Breaks Down Her Life in Looks
Starting back in 2000, Chopra Jonas looked back on winning the Miss World title at just 18-years-old (wearing a custom white Hemant Trevedi dress, no less). 'My life suddenly changed when I won this pageant,' she says. Since then, the star has made traditional saris her signature, wearing a variety of hand-crafted styles that are both glamorous and modern. There was the silvery gray sari she wore in the 2008 film Dostana, designed by Manish Malhotra, and the black and gold style by Ritu Kumar, worn to the 2012 Marrakesh Film Festival. '[I loved ]the lace sleeves with the embroidery on the neck,' she says.
Chopra Jonas's trip down memory lane also included many red carpet firsts. Like the first time she attended the Emmy Awards in a custom red Jason Wu gown in 2016. 'I remember the next day being compared to the twirling emoji,' she says. The first time she attended the Golden Globes in 2017, she opted for a golden Ralph Lauren brocade gown. 'I love the awards shows, because you have a good time, she says. 'Sofia Vergara and I hung out, and we found Meryl Streep backstage. I'll always remember that.' One of her most special firsts, though, was attending her first Met Gala in 2017: It was the year she met her husband Nick Jonas. 'We walked the red carpet together with [Ralph Lauren] and we spent the whole night together,' she says. (The rest was history.)
Of course, her life in looks would not be complete without revisiting the (multiple) looks Chopra Jonas wore for her wedding festivities back in 2018. For the Christian ceremony, she wore a classic white lace Ralph Lauren design. 'This is only the fourth [wedding] dress that Ralph has made for anyone,' says Chopra Jonas. 'Ralph wanted a 100-foot train and I said 50. We settled on 75.' For the traditional Hindu ceremony, meanwhile, she chose a dramatic red lace lehenga by Sabyasachi. 'I was very specific about the red I wanted. I wanted it to be the color of Sindoor, the vermilion that Indian women wear when they get married,' she says.
A more recent fashion win, meanwhile, was the Valentino look she wore to the 2023 premiere of Citadel. She chose a green Valentino feathered coat and matching gown, which the star says perfectly encapsulates where her personal style is today. 'This dress was all things drama—and I've never said I'm subtle,' she quips. Above, watch the full video.

‘Coyote vs. Acme' Finally Reveals a Release Date at Comic-Con
If the long, twist-filled 'Coyote vs. Acme' fight for a release was 'It's a Wonderful Life,' then Ketchup Entertainment would be all the townspeople at the end (79-year-old spoiler) chipping in to make sure George Bailey doesn't go under. That's as far as the analogy goes, though film fans can easily guess who is Mr. Potter in this scenario. Regardless, the townspeople have won the day, and 'Coyote vs. Acme' is indeed on its way — finally — with a theatrical release set for August 28, 2026. To sum things up as quickly as possible: the $70 million live-action/animated movie was one of a few (paging 'Batgirl') that were shelved in 2023 as tax write-offs for Warner Bros. (to the tune of $30 million), even though the movie had tested well. After a fan outcry, the film was put up for sale to other studios… but then it quickly was dead in the water again, when nobody met the price WB wanted. A cast and crew funeral screening was even held for the movie. It was dead. George Bailey was going to jump off the bridge. More from IndieWire How 'Oh, Hi!' Makes Doomscrolling Funny What If 'The Virgin Suicides' Felt More Like a Cursed Object? Try the Feverish 'Honeycomb' for Summer Enter Clarence- eh… 'The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Toons Movie,' which Ketchup distributed, though it was only set for a streaming HBO Max (or Max at the time) release. They then made a deal earlier this year for 'Coyote vs. Acme,' which the film's star Will Forte expressed relief over earlier this year, telling THR, 'I never thought it would happen so it just came out of nowhere and I'm so thrilled,' he said. 'Thank you Ketchup Entertainment, I'm so excited for people to see this movie. I'm gonna promote the crap out of it, just tell me what you want me to do and I'll go, I'll do whatever — go to the top of Mount Everest, I'm there.' So the film's San Diego Comic-Con panel, to say the least, was hotly anticipated. And Ketchup did not disappoint. 'This movie wasn't suppose to come out,' panel moderator Paul Scheer said (via Deadline). 'I heard Warner Bros wouldn't release the film — I've never heard of Warner Bros! This is really an Acme decision and I'm saying that for legal purposes.' The even had 'an Acme lawyer' appear, attempting to halt the film's release. 'These are cease and desist papers from the Acme Corporation. You do not have permission to share information and footage from this anti-Acme film. Please leave the stage,' the performer said, then addressed a cosplaying audience member, 'As a copyrighted costume, sir, please disrobe.' May the other shelved Warner Bros. properties — which also includes another animated film 'Scoob! Holiday Haunt' — one day find such a rebirth. Until then, they await discovery at the Island of Misfit Toys. But that is another analogy for another day. Until then, check out 'Coyote vs. Acme' in theaters August 28, 2026.

'Star Trek' Actress: 'William Shatner Was Interesting, Let's Put It That Way'
'Star Trek' Actress: 'William Shatner Was Interesting, Let's Put It That Way' originally appeared on Parade. The original Star Trek TV series ran for just three seasons between 1966 and 1969 on NBC, though it spawned dozens of TV shows and films that followed. But the original still holds a special place in fans' hearts. The original series starred Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelley, Nichelle Nichols, George Takei and as the crew of the USS Enterprise, but it also welcomed many memorable guest stars over its three seasons. One such notable guest star is of Father Knows Best, The Andy Griffith Show and The Odd Couple. She appeared in the season 2 episode "Metamorphosis," in which she played Assistant Federation Commissioner Nancy Hedford on a peacekeeping mission. In the episode, Hedford has contracted Sukaro's disease, which will eventually kill her, but the team discovers a man named Zefram Cochrane (Glenn Corbett) marooned on an unknown planet with an entity made up of electrical energy that restored his youth and keeps him young. In the end, Hedford ends up merging with the entity and remaining with Cochrane on the planet where they can have a life and live out their remaining years together. In a new interview with Woman's World, Donahue, 88, reflects on her memorable Star Trek appearance, including what it was like working with Shatner, with whom she shared most of her scenes. 'I went to a Star Trek convention in Las Vegas a few years ago, and that was quite amazing, although Star Trek certainly became a phenomenon very early on. You could see that that was going to have legs for a long time. And William Shatner was interesting, let's put it that way," said goes on to say that he was "a little tough" on her because she was nervous in the dress rehearsal. "He was a little tough on me in the beginning, because, like I said, I'm not good at rehearsals, I think I scare people or used to scare people in rehearsals, 'cause it always seemed to me as though they thought that I wasn't going to be able to do it right. I guess I kind of pull that out of the fire at the last minute. "He got a little annoyed with me during the table read, and the director said, 'Just leave her alone, will you?' But it was fine. He saw that I was professional about my work and giving my best. That's all you can ask somebody, is to do their best, and it's what I've always tried to do," said also added that she and Shatner "ended up getting along fine." Donahue also reflected on her decades-long career in show business, saying that her life "sounds quite unbelievable" at times. "If I were hearing it from someone, I'd say, 'Oh come on, that can't possibly be true.' But all told, it was all just so magical. Honestly, I've had a lot of fun," said Donahue. 🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 'Star Trek' Actress: 'William Shatner Was Interesting, Let's Put It That Way' first appeared on Parade on Jul 26, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jul 26, 2025, where it first appeared.
