Yellow is definitely Priyanka Chopra's color.
The Citadel actress has a new movie out next week, The Bluff, about a Caribbean woman fending off buccaneers from her island.
The film, which also stars Karl Urban, just had its Los Angeles premiere, and for the special night, its lead star honored her character Ercell Bodden with a stunning yellow dress.
After the premiere, Priyanka took to Instagram and shared photos of her look, a yellow, saree-inspired mini dress with fitted draping and two long trains.
Priyanka posed in the look at the iconic TCL Chinese Theatre, also highlighting her perfectly-themed Judith Lieber treasure chest clutch.
"Wearing this is an ode to Ercell Bodden, my character in The Bluff. In the opening of the film she appears with a dupatta over her head, a subtle but meaningful marker of identity and strength," she shared in her caption, referring to the shall-like scarf traditional of South Asian fashion.

Priyanka further reflected: "There's a quiet power in its simplicity. The precision of the tailoring, the way it drapes and moves, felt both rooted and forward looking, and the bright yellow is so synonymous with the colorful palette of India."
"To me, this piece is a testament to the growing global scope of Indian fashion and how beautifully our heritage continues to evolve," she concluded.
