Vivienne Westwood Comes To Priyanka Chopra’s Rescue Again

Following her disastrous Matières Fécales look at the 2026 InStyle Imagemaker Awards, Priyanka Chopra returned to the red carpet for the 2026 Academy Museum Gala in Los Angeles, where she made a complete 180.

And yes, it was Vivienne Westwood to the rescue once again, because when has anyone ever looked bad in Westwood? In fact, one of Priyanka’s best red carpet moments came courtesy of the British fashion house back in 2023.

On this occasion, she wore a champagne-hued Vivienne Westwood Couture gown featuring the house’s signature draped corsetry, an elegant off-the-shoulder neckline and delicate gold vine-like embroidery winding across the bodice. The sculpted waist and fluid skirt are exactly the kind of details that make Westwood such a reliable choice.

If this was a return to the drawing board, it was a smart move. We have always maintained that Priyanka is at her best when she embraces this kind of classic glamour. Her more experimental outings never deliver the same results, and I don’t know how many more reminders the stylists she employs need before they realise this.
