Priyanka reveals how she avoided a ‘wardrobe malfunction’ in that Grammys 2020 dress



Priyanka Chopra received a myriad of mixed reactions when she showed up for the 2020 Grammy Awards alongside husband Nick Jonas in a deep-plunging Ralph & Russo gown. The Sky is Pink star walked the red-carpet in an ivory, bell-sleeved ensemble that sure turned heads. However, during her latest interview with US Weekly, the star revealed she never leaves for an event unless she is absolutely secure about her dress. “Ralph & Russo, whenever they make couture for me or custom outfits for me, they always do them fitted to my body, keeping these things [wardrobe malfunctions] in mind,” Priyanka said during the interview.
