Priyanka Chopra Pays Tribute to Her The Bluff Character with Gaurav Gupta Couture Look: “A Saree with a Modern Twist”

Actor Priyanka Chopra is currently promoting her upcoming film The Bluff, set to premiere on Amazon Prime Video on February 25, 2026. At a recent promotional event, she captivated audiences in a stunning couture ensemble by designer Gaurav Gupta, describing the look as a tribute to her character in the film.

Sharing photos from the event, Priyanka revealed that the outfit honors Ercell Bodden, the character she plays. “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 symbol of identity and strength,” she wrote.

Expressing her admiration for the silhouette, she added, “I love a saree. When I saw this piece on the couture runway last month, it felt like a saree with a modern twist. We immediately called Gaurav and asked him to hold it for me.” She described the gown as embodying “a quiet power in its simplicity,” praising its precise tailoring, fluid drape, and vibrant yellow hue which she said reflects India’s colorful palette. “To me, this piece is a testament to the growing global reach of Indian fashion and how beautifully our heritage continues to evolve,” she noted.

According to Gaurav Gupta’s official handle, Priyanka wore ‘Golden Arc,’ a saffron-colored saree gown from the Divine Androgyne Spring Summer ’26 couture collection, first showcased in Paris. Crafted from fluid chiffon, the ensemble featured a corseted structure with a sculpted wrap bodice, a softly pleated fall, and an extended veil drape. Celebrity stylist Ami Patel also praised the look, commenting, “Love how you wore it and made it your own.”

The Bluff recently premiered in Los Angeles, where Priyanka was joined by her husband, singer-actor Nick Jonas. Directed by Frank E. Flowers and co-written with Joe Ballarini, the high-octane action thriller is set in the late 19th-century Caribbean.

The film follows Ercell “Bloody Mary” Bodden (Priyanka), a former pirate who has left her violent past behind to live a peaceful life with her family in the Cayman Islands. Her tranquility shatters when her ruthless former captain, Captain Connor (Karl Urban), returns seeking revenge—dragging her back into a dangerous world of sword fights, betrayal, and survival.
