Priyanka Chopra Jonas Wins Woman of Impact in Benarasi Couture
Styled by Law Roach in pink Benarasi couture, Priyanka Chopra Jonas received the Woman of Impact Award at the InStyle Imagemaker Awards.
Priyanka Chopra Jonas collected the Woman of Impact Award at the third annual InStyle Imagemaker Awards in Los Angeles on October 15, and her red-carpet look carried as much meaning as the honour itself.
An award for opening doors
The award was presented by actors Megan Suri, Avantika Vandanapu and Amita Rao. While the Imagemaker Awards usually celebrate stylists, makeup artists, hairstylists and costume designers, Priyanka’s special honour recognises a different kind of influence: pushing back against stereotypes, bringing new voices into the conversation and creating more space for women in Hollywood.
That influence runs through her career as an actor, producer and entrepreneur. Through her banner Purple Pebble Pictures, Priyanka has backed diverse stories and newer talent, a portfolio that fits the award’s focus on representation rather than red-carpet glamour alone.
The pink Benarasi couture moment
She accepted the moment in a pink ensemble from Matières Fécales’ Spring 2027 collection, styled by Law Roach. The outfit paired a plunging structured top with dramatic slit sleeves and a fitted pencil skirt, finished with intricate gold embroidery.
The fabric came from Tilfi Benaras: a Benarasi weave reimagined as sculptural couture on a Hollywood carpet. Square-toe sandals, stud earrings and a voluminous brunette blowout completed the look.

There was also a lighter moment at the event: Priyanka shared a playful exchange with Heidi Klum.
Why the craft story matters
For Bollywood Society readers, this is more than a fashion bulletin. A heritage Indian textile, named on a global red carpet, works as cultural storytelling: the weave becomes the headline, and the stylist becomes the translator. The practical takeaway is to let a heritage fabric anchor the look instead of decorating it—name the artisan source, keep the silhouette modern and let the material lead the colour story.
What comes next
Priyanka’s next screen chapter is her much-anticipated Indian comeback film Varanasi, directed by SS Rajamouli and co-starring Mahesh Babu and Prithviraj Sukumaran. It is slated to hit cinemas in April 2027, giving her global award moment an immediate link to one of India’s most storied cultural cities.
