The sindoori red look

The ensemble features a sleeveless kurta styled with an organza dupatta, both accentuated with shimmering gold lace embroidery, sequin embellishments, and appliqué work.

The actor styled the traditional look with precious gold Kundan jewels from her collection, including haath phool, pearl-adorned jhumki earrings, rings, and a statement watch. Leaving her hair loose in a centre parting and styled with soft waves, for the makeup, Priyanka chose a classic red lip shade, rouged cheeks, mascara-coated lashes, feathered brows, a red bindi, sindoor, and a dewy base.

She posted the pictures unveiling her look with two funny captions: in one of the photos, she is seen wearing a baseball cap and wondering, “ When will this moon come out?” and for another, in which Priyanka and Nick can be seen posing outside, while she holds the Karwa Chauth thaali, she wrote, “Ok I'm filmy every year…@nickjonas.”

Another picture showed their daughter, Malti, hugging her dad, which the actor captioned, “Daddy's home! My whole world in one frame…Happy Karwa Chauth.”

The DIY mehndi

Sharing the pictures, she wrote, “DIY…Piya ke naam ki (in the name of my husband)…Happy Karwa Chauth to all those celebrating,” and “The question is, will the chashni work? IYKYK.”
