Priyanka Chopra
is not bothered
with the FASHION
POLICE
Priyanka Chopra's Oscar look this
year has generated a mixed response
from the fashion gurus. But
the Indian actress has stopped fretting
over fashion police as everyone
is entitled to their own opinion.
Priyanka picked up a body-hugging
gown by designer label Ralph &
Russo to flaunt her toned frame at
the 89th Academy Awards in Los
Angeles.
HOT GOSSIP
The gown was done with geometric
details with a structured bodice
giving a peek-a-boo glimpse of Priyanka's
svelte figure. She paired
her gown with towering ivory heels,
and accessorized the look with the
bare minimum, drawing complete
focus on the dress. Apart from getting
trolled by many on social media,
she even featured in the list of worst
dressed celebrities at the Oscars by
some foreign media outlets.
Talking about the fashion police, Priyanka
also mentioned in an email interview
earlier this month: "I used to
(get bothered about fashion policing)
but not so much now. Now, I wear
what I like and what I'm comfortable
in and if someone doesn't like that,
they don't. "They are entitled to their
own opinion."
Last year, Priyanka shot to fame on
the foreign shores with her TV series
"Quantico", which airs in India on
Star World and Star World HD. She
has since found increased presence
at important red carpet events in
the US -- even as she is gearing up
to make her Hollywood debut with
"Baywatch". In 2016, she had chosen
a white embellished strapless
Zuhair Murad gown for the Oscars,
where she was one of the presenters.
This year, however, she did not
present any award.
The 89th edition of the Oscars ran
high on the India factor with the
presence of Priyanka, Indian-origin
British actor Dev Patel, his mother
and Indian child actor Sunny Pawar,
