Cinema VinesOn Friday, September 4, the Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris hosted the 13th edition of the LVMH Prize for Young Fashion Designers, a night that quickly turned into a glittering showcase of celebrity and couture. The event highlighted three up‑and‑coming designers who had captured the jury’s attention with their distinctive, forward‑thinking work. Among the star‑studded guests were Hollywood actress Jennifer Lawrence, who serves as a Dior ambassador, and Bollywood icon Priyanka Chopra Jonas, who shared a memorable moment with Pharrell Williams during the ceremony.
The jury was a veritable who’s‑who of the fashion world, featuring Pharrell Williams, Jonathan Anderson, Sarah Burton, Maria Grazia Chiuri, Nicolas Ghesquière, Stella McCartney, Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez, Camille Miceli, Nigo, Phoebe Philo and Michael Rider. LVMH founder and Dior CEO Delphine Arnault also graced the event, presenting the coveted prize to finalist Julie Kegels and thanking the attendees for their support. Arnault remarked, “Once again, I had the honour of welcoming the members of this prestigious jury to the Fondation Louis Vuitton… I wish to express my deep gratitude to Jennifer Lawrence, Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Urassaya Sperbund – three truly inspiring figures – for their presence here today.”
While the fashion focus dominated the evening, the presence of high‑profile celebrities added an extra layer of allure. Jennifer Lawrence was seen mingling with the crowd and presenting the award, while Priyanka Chopra Jonas engaged in friendly banter with Pharrell Williams. Fans on social media quickly noted the chemistry between the two stars, who were photographed laughing and sharing a toast during the gala.
Beyond the runway, Priyanka Chopra’s busy schedule continues to expand. The actress is slated to star in the upcoming survival thriller “Reset,” a project written by Jordan Rawlins and directed by Matt Smukler. The film, which was set to begin shooting shortly after the Paris event, now faces a casting challenge after Hollywood actor Orlando Bloom exited the project at the last minute. “Reset” follows Chopra’s character as she awakens in a wilderness setting with no memory of how she arrived, and must decide whether a mysterious stranger—originally played by Bloom—can be trusted to help her escape.
With her star power firmly established in both film and fashion, Priyanka Chopra continues to juggle a packed slate of projects, cementing her status as a global icon. The LVMH Prize night not only celebrated emerging designers but also highlighted the cross‑industry influence of celebrities like Lawrence and Chopra, whose presence helped bring the event to life and capture the imagination of audiences worldwide.
