Priyanka Chopra approaches red carpet dressing differently depending on the event. A film festival premiere, a documentary launch, and a fashion-industry awards ceremony each call for a different balance of tailoring, eveningwear, and statement fashion—and her footwear changes with them.
These three appearances show that evolution. At the Toronto International Film Festival, she disrupted polished Fendi tailoring with studded ankle boots.

For the Chasing Happiness premiere, she relied on understated pumps to support an architectural gown. By the 2021 Fashion Awards, her shoes had become part of Richard Quinn’s head-to-toe floral concept, almost disappearing into the overall design.
Priyanka Chopra’s Richard Quinn Floral Boots Disappear Into Her Fashion Awards Look
On November 29, 2021, Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas arrived together at The Fashion Awards at London’s Royal Albert Hall, wearing coordinated designer looks that immediately drew attention for very different reasons.

While the couple’s appearance generated headlines, it was Priyanka’s Richard Quinn ensemble—and the floral boots hidden within the matching print—that became the evening’s biggest fashion talking point.
Priyanka completed the Richard Quinn look with matching floral-print high-heeled boots cut from the same fabric as the catsuit and opera coat. Rather than acting as a separate accessory, the boots became part of a single uninterrupted silhouette, visually extending the print from head to toe. The effect showcased Quinn’s couture approach to pattern matching, but it also left the footwear with little opportunity to ground or balance the otherwise graphic look.

Every major element—from the catsuit and belt to the boots and sweeping coat—shared the same bold floral print. The uninterrupted pattern made the silhouette instantly recognizable, although its visual intensity proved divisive among fashion observers.
The dramatic opera coat featured exaggerated shoulders and a sweeping train, amplifying the outfit’s theatrical proportions. The oversized floral print and full-coverage styling inevitably invited comparisons to other famously polarizing red-carpet looks.

Priyanka completed the look with Bulgari jewelry—including a diamond necklace—and a sleek high bun with softly framing curtain bangs. Beside her, Nick Jonas opted for an oversized black Maison Margiela tuxedo punctuated with red accents and matching red Maison Margiela x Reebok split-toe sneakers, extending the couple’s coordinated approach to color.
The bold Tabi-inspired collaboration underscored the evening’s experimental mood, contrasting with Priyanka’s theatrical Richard Quinn florals. While Jonas’ exact pair is no longer in production, Maison Margiela x Reebok remains one of the most collectible luxury sneaker collaborations.
As of August 2026, Farfetch continues to stock models including the Tabi Instapump Fury, Club C Memory Of, Classic Leather Tabi, Instapump Fury Hi, and Memory Of collections, while StockX lists more than 1,000 Maison Margiela x Reebok releases on the resale market.

While her 2021 Fashion Awards outfit leaned into theatrical runway styling, Priyanka’s earlier red carpet appearances reveal a very different approach.
Understated Black Pumps Ground Priyanka Chopra’s Galia Lahav Premiere Gown
Two years earlier, she embraced a more glamorous silhouette for the premiere of Chasing Happiness in Los Angeles.

The documentary, which premiered on Amazon Prime Video, shows how the brothers rebuilt their relationships as siblings to focus on their studio album, Happiness Begins, which was released on June 7, 2019, by Republic Records.
Nick Jonas was born 3,714 days (just over 10 years) after his wife Priyanka Chopra, yet the couple appeared perfectly in sync on the red carpet as she wore a Galia Lahav gown and he opted for a monochromatic chocolate-brown ensemble
While the American singer wore a tie-less maroon Ermenegildo Zegna Couture XXX suit, his taller Indian wife flashed her legs in a sexy high-low Galia Lahav Fall 2019 dress featuring a plunging neckline and a chain mail bodysuit underneath.

Rather than introducing another statement element, Chopra chose understated black pumps that reinforced the clean lines of the look.
The decision kept attention on the gown’s sculptural neckline and exposed chain-mail bodysuit instead of dividing the outfit into competing focal points.

Before embracing dramatic couture and plunging eveningwear, Priyanka experimented with polished tailoring on the festival circuit.
Priyanka Chopra Toughens Up a Pink Fendi Suit With Studded Ankle Boots
One of the most memorable examples came during the Toronto International Film Festival in 2017.

The former Miss World produced the film, calling it her “passion project.” No wonder she wanted to stand by her film as it made the rounds in the film festival world.

Although the film received a warm reception, the conversation among fashion observers centered on something else: whether her footwear matched the elegance of the Fendi ensemble.
The actress wore a bright pink cropped blazer with a matching A-line midi skirt from Fendi’s Resort 2018 Collection.

Priyanka contrasted the feminine Fendi tailoring with black square-toe studded ankle boots, giving the pastel ensemble a tougher finish.
While the exact studded style is no longer available, Fendi continues to offer an extensive range of boots. As of August 2026, Farfetch carries styles including the Filo stretch ankle boots, FF-motif ankle boots, embossed-logo combat boots, Rockoko combat boots, Arco knee-high boots, Delfina biker boots, Lucida pointed-toe boots, and a wide selection of pre-owned Fendi boots, including studded ankle boots and Rockoko combat styles.
The boots added visual weight around the ankle, interrupting the long line created by the cropped blazer and A-line midi skirt. A slimmer sandal or pointed-toe pump would have preserved the elegance of the tailoring while keeping the proportions lighter.
