Known as a global phenomenon, Priyanka Chopra chose a custom-made Ralph Lauren wedding gown which was accompanied by an exceptional veil for her Christian ceremony. According to the world-renowned master designer, “the sweeping, 75-foot veil comprised of two different cuts of tulle—a shorter fingertip-length veil worn under the epically longer one, which was carried behind the bride by six attendants”. For her traditional Indian nuptials, Priyanka Chopra picked a Sabyasachi crimson red ensemble with a western-inspired veil for an amalgamation of the two worlds that she hails from.
