Priyanka Chopra Holds Nick Jonas Close, Singer Kisses Her Shoulder In Hot MET Gala Pics
Last Updated: Priyanka Chopra shared MET Gala 2025 photos, showing glamorous outfits, moments with Nick Jonas, and a cute shot of their daughter Malti Marie. Priyanka Chopra just dropped a swoon-worthy behind-the-scenes photo dump from her MET Gala 2025 weekend—and it's serving glamour, romance, and a dash of adorable! The carousel begins with a striking solo shot: Priyanka stuns in her MET ensemble – a white halter-neck column gown adorned with bold black polka dots, cinched at the waist with a slim belt. Channeling vintage Hollywood elegance, she completed the look with dramatic elbow-length black gloves, a statement emerald necklace, and a larger-than-life black hat. Her caption? Simple yet swoony: 'Still thinking about this date night.. #MET25" — paired with the smooth jazz notes of Dave Brubeck's Take Five playing in the background. Another photo raises the temperature—Priyanka shares a sultry moment with husband Nick Jonas. The couple is seen in a moody, golden-lit room, standing close by a mirror. Priyanka wears a sparkly silver fringe mini-dress, while Nick looks sharp in a tailored suit. Their intense eye contact and Nick's protective hand placement speak volumes—clearly, date night was a whole vibe. In another photo, Nick gently kisses her shoulder. But it's the third image that stole hearts: little Malti Marie making her hallway runway debut in a red frock, black gloves, white socks—and yes, rocking her mom's oversized MET Gala hat. Shot from behind, the photo is pure joy, showing how fashion clearly runs in the family. Check out the photos here: The Met Gala is a special chapter in Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas's love story, as they first attended the event together in 2017 before starting their relationship. After missing last year's gala, the couple returned to the blue carpet for the 2025 event. For the occasion, Priyanka turned heads in a unique polka dot jacket, matching dress and a flowing train, while Nick looked charming in a black and white outfit. On the work front, Priyanka Chopra is all set to return to Indian cinema with SS Rajamouli's upcoming film starring Mahesh Babu. She has already shot crucial scenes in locations across Odisha and Hyderabad. First Published:

Transforming campus into a fest of learning, creativity
Students taking part in the 'Event Reporting' strand work together in groups to produce their media content. IT was an unforgettable three-day celebration of learning, passion and connection at the Tunku Putra-HELP (TPH) School, where it hosted its third annual Gala Event – a vibrant showcase of students' talents, teamwork and discovery. The programme involved the primary and secondary students and also the kindergarteners, participating in activities spread across five strands: 'Sports and Physical Fitness', 'Artistic and Creativity', 'Academic and Community', 'Adventure and Skills', and 'Event Reporting'. Designed to go far beyond the classroom, each strand offered real-world, passion-driven learning opportunities – from designing original performances and exploring environmental issues to building survival skills and producing media content. Primary pupils gain practical experience in horticulture by planting and nurturing their own seedlings. 'We want to give our students an experience that feels relevant, inspiring and deeply human,' said executive principal Shirley Harrison. 'Gala 2025 is not just about what they learn; it's also about how they learn, and who they become along the way. 'When students are encouraged to discover what excites them, they learn faster, deeper, and with joy.' The kindergarteners learn the traditional art of making 'Tang Yuan' – the traditional Chinese glutinous rice balls – from scratch, with hands-on guidance from the teacher. 'Education with purpose' More than just an annual highlight, the Gala represented the key expression of TPH's vision of developing students through its unique 'Nine Masteries' framework: 'Physical', 'Creative', 'Intellectual', 'Social', 'Emotional', 'Moral', 'Leadership', 'Technological', and 'Career'. Each strand was intentionally crafted to nurture one or more of these masteries, whether through teamwork in sports, leadership in project planning, emotional growth in performance arts, or critical thinking in academic exploration. 'We see these masteries as essential ingredients for lifelong success. 'Our students are not only learning facts, as they're also learning how to lead, create, reflect, and contribute meaningfully to the world,' added Harrison. It was informed that this year's Gala, running from May 21 to 23, involved some 850 students. 'Sports and adventure are the most popular among the students. 'However, artistic and creativity has the largest group with around 300 students. We also have more outdoor and off-site activities this time,' said the assistant principal (pastoral) Ida Tan Mei-Erh. Kayaking is among the activities conducted under the adventure and skills area. She said among the activities conducted under the adventure and skills area included shelter-building, backwood cooking, basic first-aid, life-saving in water, fishing, and kayaking. 'The academic and community group focused on UN SDGs (United Nations Sustainable Development Goals), with older students going on a food tour at the Kuching Waterfront. 'They got to experience meeting and learning from the community,' she added. The academic and community group focuses on the UN SDGs, investigating global issues and other key matters. According to Tan, the TPH's Gala programme, which replaced the traditional Sports Day, began in 2022. 'This was our third Gala. The first was in 2022, then 2024. 'We no longer do normal sports day because not everyone is into sports. 'Gala gives students options to pursue something they like,' she added. Throughout the event, the campus buzzed with collaboration and creativity. The students worked in mixed-age groups, guided by the educators, diving into that blended skill-building with purpose. Whether they were investigating global issues through the UN SDGs, or choreographing group performances, every moment was anchored in real engagement. The students are introduced to basic survival skills as they learn to construct tents using wooden materials and other natural resources. 'Sharing of experience' As part of the Gala's 'Event Reporting' strand, some 60 TPH students took part in a session meant to give them an insight into the world of journalism. Each equipped with computer tablets, the students learned about real-world media literacy skills during the session facilitated by The Borneo Post senior journalist Jude Peter Toyat and senior news editor Ghaz Ghazali. They were introduced to various aspects of journalism including presentation, photography, writing, and content production. 'Event reporting is one of our five focus areas, where students are learning the skills for reporting, whether it's presentation, photo-taking, writing, and all that,' said Tan, adding that the session encouraged students from different year levels to mix. The sharing-session on journalism was among the programmes carried out by TPH that engaged external facilitators to provide new experiences. 'We brought in external K-pop instructors, who are also part of our ECA (Enrichment Curriculum Activities) programme providers, as part of the artistic and creativity track, slated for the pop-up show of the Gala. 'Last Gala, we collaborated with Unimas (Universiti Malaysia Sarawak) and Sarawak Eco Warriors, a very good NGO (non-governmental organisation) that conducts beach clean-ups and 'plogging' (jogging that also involves rubbish-picking along the way) regularly. 'Besides the Gala event, some of our students were also a part of a music festival with our sister schools in Kuala Lumpur and Johor, in February this year,' said Tan. Students actively take part in a series of outdoor activities on the opening day of Gala 2025. 'Special showcase' The highlight of the event was the spectacular Pop-Up Performance on Day 3, a powerful showcase of music, dance, and visual arts under the 'Artistic and Creativity' strand. The performance brought the entire community to its feet in a joyful, standing-ovation moment of celebration. Not to be left out, TPH youngest learners in kindergarten had their own tailored 'Mini-Gala', engaging in playful explorations of literacy, science, music and movement through a blend of fun, age-appropriate activities. Families interested in experiencing TPH's nurturing early learning environment are invited to the 'Kindy Experience Day' this July 12, running from 9am till noon. Open to children aged three to five, the event features a school tour, a trial class, meet-the-teacher sessions, and personalised consultations. For more information, call 016-678 0351. The participants gather for a group photo, taken during the 'Pop-Up Performance' on Day 3 of the Gala. The conclusion of Gala 2025 clearly highlighted the message: 'Education is evolving, and at TPH, the future of learning is already here'. Tunku Putra-HELP School is a partnership of three organisations: the HELP Education Group, Ibraco Berhad, and Cahya Mata Sarawak Berhad. It aims to bring wider opportunities for world-class education at affordable fees to the residents of Sarawak. Offering both national and international curricula, the school provides kindergarten, primary, secondary, and A-Level education. The International programme adopts the British Education Curriculum culminating in the widely-recognised International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) and Cambridge International Examination (CIE) A-Level qualifications, while the national programme offers the Primary School Standard Curriculum (KSSR) and Secondary School Standard Curriculum (KSSM) where students sit for national examinations like Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM). Mathematics and Science are further complemented with Singapore and British syllabi. Combining the best of Western and Eastern education, students develop critical-thinking, creativity, problem-solving, and are equipped with 21st century skills. In December 2020, TPH received the International Primary Curriculum (IPC) accreditation, making it the first and only international school in Borneo, and among the Top 20 schools worldwide to receive this esteemed accreditation. Music, dance and visual arts are showcased under the 'Artistic and Creativity' strand. Recently, the school achieved IPC Re-accreditation for the 2024-2028 period. Notably, TPH is one of only four schools in Malaysia to have attained this esteemed accreditation this year. Strategically located in the NorthBank development at Tabuan Jaya in Kuching, the school's campus include two green courtyards and play areas, a four-storey multi-purpose building, six fully-equipped science labs, design and technology facilities, a performing arts theatre, a dance studio, a library, as well as other facilities such as swimming pool, field, computer and tech labs, music rooms and art studios, sports hall and a fitness suite.

Tunku Putra-HELP students delve into world of journalism
Ghaz speaks on a day in the life of a journalist to the students during the session. KUCHING (May 21): Sixty-six students of Tunku Putra-HELP School here were given an insight into the world of journalism as part of the school's third Gala event today. The hour-long session focused on event reporting and the daily life of a journalist. Conducted by The Borneo Post senior journalist Jude Peter Toyat and senior news editor Ghaz Ghazali, the session aimed at developing real-world media literacy skills. Participants were introduced to various aspects of journalism including presentation, photography, writing, and content production. 'They want to learn more about the job scope of a journalist and what journalists do in a day. 'So, event reporting is one of our five focus areas, where students are learning the skills for reporting—whether it's presentation, photo-taking, writing, and all that,' said Assistant Principal (Pastoral) Ida Tan Mei-Erh when met at the event. This year's Gala 2025 involves approximately 850 students across the school, including those from kindergarten. It is divided into five focus areas: event reporting, sports, adventure and skills, artistic and creativity, and academic and community engagement. 'For Gala this year, we have five big groups. Sports and adventure are the most popular among the students. However, artistic and creativity has the largest group with around 300 students. We also have more outdoor and off-site activities this time,' Tan added. Among the activities conducted under the adventure and skill area are shelter-building, backward cooking, and kayaking. The academic and community group focuses on Sustainable Development Goals, with older students scheduled to go on a food tour at Kuching Waterfront later this week. The school's Gala programme, which replaces the traditional sports day, began in 2022. 'This is our third Gala. The first was in 2022, then 2024, and now this one. We don't do normal sports day because not everyone is into sports. 'Gala gives students a choice to pursue something they like for two and a half days,' said Tan. She explained that the event also encourages students from different year levels to mix. 'This time, as long as you're in Primary, you can sign up depending on the activities. For example, wall climbing is open from Primary 5 to Form 5. Students mix with others they usually wouldn't be with,' she added. The school has also introduced external facilitators to provide new experiences, including a K-pop instructor. The K-pop dance group, part of the artistic and creativity track, is set to perform during the pop-up show tomorrow. 'Students will perform on Friday. It's not a full concert, more like a pop-up performance—maybe two or three minutes. We will also have a fashion show featuring designs made from recycled materials like newspapers and plastic bottles,' said Tan. She said feedback from parents has been positive and the school is looking to expand its community engagement further. 'We're close with Unimas (Universiti Malaysia Sarawak) and Sarawak Eco Warriors, a very good NGO. They conduct beach clean-ups and plogging. 'We're also part of a music festival with our sister schools in KL and Johor,' she said. The Gala 2025 programme continues through the week, culminating in performances and exhibitions showcasing the students' work and experiences across all five areas.

'In my community...': Dwyane Wade urges open health conversations after a tough battle against cancer
Dwyane Wade is now cancer free.(Image via Cindy Ord/VF25/Getty) Dwyane Wade, one of the most talented and popular players in the history of the NBA, shocked his fans when he revealed he had to go through a major surgery as his doctors found some abnormalities in his kidneys in 2023. The NBA legend and his wife, popular actress Gabrielle Union, have opened up about how Dwyane Wade had to remove a major part of one of his kidneys as it later turned out to have cancer cells in them. While Dwyane Wade has spoken extensively about his health issues, he gave some advice to his fans at the New York Times Well Festival. Dwyane Wade reveals how nobody discussed health history in his family and why it is important to ask questions to one's doctor Dwyane Wade spoke about how nobody really discussed about health issues in his family, even though both his father and his grandfather had previously suffered from prostate cancer. The NBA legend said, "In my family, in my community, we don't share a lot of things about our health history...I was like, 'Alright, let me go and start. Let me go look at my body.'" Dwyane Wade also advised his fans to 'ask the right questions' to doctors. He said, 'If you have a primary care doctor, put them to work…Don't let them just come, bring you in and put you out the door, because that's what you want to hear. No, ask the right questions." Dwyane Wade and his family took some time to reveal the NBA legend's health issues in public as the family needed some time to process this news. While Dwyane Wade was advised by his doctors to undergo kidney surgery back in December 2023, it is not really clear when the surgery actually happened. For now, Dwyane Wade is fully active and healthy and is trying to create more awareness about the battle he fought against cancer. The NBA legend and his wife, Gabrielle Union, recently made a joint appearance at the MET Gala 2025 and it is safe to say that all eyes were on the power couple.
