A Dash of Bollywood Glamour at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix
Leave it to Priyanka Chopra to add a heavy dose of Hollywood glamour to the worlds of fast cars and Formula One racing. The global icon and bonafide fashion plate brought her signature brand of dazzle to the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix this past weekend, lighting up the Yas Marina Circuit garbed in a scene-stealing hot pink ensemble.
Ever the style star, Priyanka sported a flattering sleeveless top and matching leggings in a bold magenta hue that popped against the sleek black and silver of the Ferrari garage where she held court. Adding her own unique flair, the fashion darling accessorized with a pair of dark angular sunglasses and vertiginous stilettos in the same attention-grabbing pink. With her raven locks blowing in the sea breeze, Priyanka exuded star power and joie de vivre as she gamely posed for selfies with adoring fans and chatted with fellow A-listers like Naomi Campbell and Orlando Bloom.
Documenting her glitzy appearance on their official Instagram page, Scuderia Ferrari captured the magnetic actress beaming ear to ear against the backdrop of the iconic red cars. “Pleasure to welcome @priyankachopra to our garage at the #AbuDhabiGP!” the caption enthused. The global superstar also enjoyed a warm reunion with close friend Lewis Hamilton, the seven-time Formula One champion enveloping her in an affectionate hug as the cameras flashed around them.
Ever the quintessential queen bee, Priyanka held court with her high-profile circle, displaying her signature easy charm and infectious laugh. Clad in her scene-stealing pink warrior princess attire with diamond drop earrings glinting in the Arabian sunlight, the UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador was a visceral reminder that you can take the girl out of Bollywood but you can never take the Bollywood out of the girl.
While the likes of Chopra and Campbell brought some much-needed beauty and artistic verve to the testosterone-fueled event, the grand prix ultimately belonged to Red Bull meteor Max Verstappen. Retaining his title as the reigning Formula One world champion in ruthless fashion, the ice-cool Verstappen left veterans like Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton trailing clouds of smoke from their burning rubber.
For her part, Chopra has been busily adding to her expansive repertoire as an actress over the last year, though production schedules have slowed in the wake of widespread Hollywood strikes. Fans eagerly await the starlet’s return to the spotlight, expecting more dazzling red carpet displays as only she can provide. Doused in pink perfection with diamonds dripping from her ears, Priyanka Chopra succeeded in stealing the spotlight amongst racing elite by doing what she does best – glittering from head to toe as a true star
