Priyanka Chopra reveals how she narrowly averted a MAJOR wardrobe malfunction at Cannes in 2019

She is a constant presence on red carpets around the world.

But even Priyanka Chopra sometimes comes dangerously close to a major wardrobe malfunction – as she revealed on Instagram this Thursday.

The 38-year-old got candid about how quick thinking saved the day when zipper on her designer gown broke during the Cannes Film Festival two years ago.

She was getting all dressed up to attend the premiere of the Elton John biopic Rocketman when the snafu occurred.

‘I may look chill on the outside here, but little did everyone know I had just been freaking out on the inside,’ she wrote alongside a collage of her red carpet poses.

‘The delicate zipper to this vintage @roberto_cavalli dress broke as they were zipping it up minutes before I had to leave for the red carpet at Cannes last year.’

Priyanka dished: ‘The solution? My amazing team had to sew me into the dress on the way in the 5 minute car ride!’

Her caption ended with a plug for her upcoming memoir Unfinished which is scheduled for release on February 9.

‘PeeCee,’ who spent years as a major Bollywood star before striking out to Hollywood, has been busily doing the publicity rounds for a new film as well.

She is starring opposite Indian critical darling Rajkummar Rao in The White Tiger, a new Netflix adaptation of a Man Booker Prize-winning novel of the same name. 

Priyanka’s character was born and bred in the United States but moves to India upon marrying Rajkummar’s character who is from New Delhi.

In an interview with Indian film critic Rajeev Masand she laughed about the irony of her character making the opposite move she did: ‘I found it very funny.’ 

Priyanka, who is now married to Nick Jonas, lives part time in both Los Angeles and Bombay so that she can work in both industries.

Last year she made her grand return to Hindi cinema with The Sky Is Pink which was the first film she made in India since the 2016 film Jai Gangaajal.
