Priyanka Chopra, Nick Jonas escape mishap before Oscars outing
On March 15, Priyanka made a stylish appearance at the 98th Academy Awards with husband Nick by her side. Soon after, several videos of the couple arriving at the red carpet began circulating on social media. In one of the clips, the duo can be seen being driven to the venue in a golf cart before stepping out for their much-awaited red carpet moment.
A video of the incident, first shared by TMZ, shows Priyanka and Nick seated in the golf cart as it sped toward the venue. The cart appeared to pick up pace as staff rushed to get the couple to the ceremony on schedule. At one point, a sharp turn combined with sudden acceleration caused the vehicle to rock, with one wheel briefly lifting off the ground. The couple held on as the cart tilted, but the driver quickly regained control and stabilised it.
According to TMZ, the couple's Sprinter van didn't get clearance to drive all the way through the security perimeter near the Dolby Theatre on Sunday, which forced the organisers to hustle them the rest of the way in a golf cart.
Meanwhile, the couple seemed calm after the slight juggle. Just ahead of their arrival, Priyanka shared a short video offering a glimpse into the couple's pre-Oscars moments.
In the clip, Priyanka was heard saying, "We're going to the Oscars. It's very adventurous." When Nick was asked about the evening, he replied, "I am going to play golf. I don't know about you."

On March 15, Priyanka and Nick brought glamour to the Academy Awards red carpet, making a stylish appearance together and turning heads. For the outing, Priyanka opted for a white Dior gown with a strapless neckline, ruched midsection, and black-and-white tulle ruffled detailing along a hip-high leg slit. She accessorised the look with a striking Bvlgari diamond-and-emerald collar necklace from the High Jewelry collection, Eclettica.
When it came to beauty, she styled her long hair in side-parted Old Hollywood-inspired finger curls with a glowy complexion, shimmery shadow, and brick-colour lip. Nick accompanied Priyanka on the red carpet in a classic black tuxedo.
At the 98th Academy Awards, held at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on Sunday night, Priyanka accompanied Javier Bardem onto the stage towards the end of the evening to present the award for Best International Feature Film. The actors then presented the award, which went to the Norwegian film Sentimental Value.
