It was a proud moment for the Indian film industry to see Priyanka Chopra confidently take centre stage as presenter at the Academy Awards 2016. A month after becoming the first Indian actress to win the People’s Choice Awards, PC made her debut at the Oscars by presenting the award for Best Film Editing to Margaret Sixel for Mad Max: Fury Road. Earlier this year Priyanka presented the Best Actor Award at the prestigious Screen Actors Guild ceremony to Kevin Spacey. At the Oscars, it was Spotlight actor Liev Schreiber who accompanied PC as co-presenter on stage.

Our very own desi girl sashayed down the red carpet, making heads turn in a white Zuhair Murad strapless gown. She accessorised the floor-sweeping gown with Lorraine Schwartz jewels that included 50-carat diamond earrings that cost a staggering $3.2 million. The value of the jewellery worn by PC at the Oscars is estimated to be around $8 million. The actress seemed to have had fun backstage where she merrily posed for the paparazzi and even got some Hollywood celebs to share the frame with her too.
