Many people on social media thought Priyanka Chopra had committed a rare fashion faux pas when she attended the third annual InStyle Imagemaker Awards in Los Angeles, California, on October 15th.
The Heads of State actress was reportedly styled by Zendaya’s longtime stylist and friend Law Roach, who seldom gets it wrong when working with the Euphoria alum, in a pink outfit that was hot off the runway. However, many people on social media thought the look fell flat and was unflattering, with some even wondering whether Roach saves his best looks for Zendaya and leaves everyone else with less-than-stellar outfits. Ouch!

Priyanka Chopra Wears Monochrome Pink Look To 'InStyle' Imagemaker Awards
The mom-of-one wore a pink two-piece outfit fresh from Matières Fécales' Spring 2027 ready-to-wear collection, which was covered in delicate gold embroidery.
The outfit featured a top with a seriously plunging neckline, structured shoulder pads, and long slit sleeves, as well as a curve-hugging pencil skirt. She accessorized with a pink opal bracelet and matching earrings from Emily P. Wheeler, and square-toe flip-flop heels, which were particularly unpopular with social media users.
She dressed to impress at the event as she was being honored with the Woman of Impact Award, which previously went to Laura Dern and Olivia Munn. Per InStyle, the honor recognizes how she has "defied stereotypes, amplified voices, and expanded opportunities for women in Hollywood, both on and off camera." But social media couldn't quite get on board with her outfit…
Fan Reactions
"Noooooo," wrote one Instagram user. "Shoulder pads have never looked good on anyone. They have to go," criticized a second. "The sleeve cuts and the shoes are wrong," added a third.
"This is a mess," declared a fourth. "This is very bad," wrote a fifth, while a sixth agreed: "So so bad." "She's beautiful but that's a hideous dress on her," commented a seventh. "This is the first time where she isn't slaying," claimed an eighth.
"She looks so uncomfortable," observed a ninth. "The color is nice on her but otherwise this is an epic fail. Too tight, odd sleeves that are too long, the hem is all wrong," criticized a tenth. "My mom had this curtain 30 years ago," joked an eleventh, while a twelfth simply wrote: "Tablecloth."
"The shoes are a no for me," commented a thirteenth. "Those shoes look like flip flops with high heels," added a fourteenth. Other social media users directed their criticism at Roach, with many questioning why his styling of Chopra appeared so different from his work with Zendaya…

"Does Zendaya style herself? How's that the same stylist?" asked one user. "He doesn't style anyone like he styles Zendaya," claimed a second. "He only styles Zendaya right, otherwise it's a mess with everyone," agreed a third. "I mean it's hard to make Zendaya look bad; but she's his muse, and so he dresses her in the very best," wrote a fourth.
"Law has never styled Priyanka well unfortunately," commented a fifth. "Sorry Law, but this was a miss," slammed a sixth. "I don't understand why everyone is obsessed with him," added a seventh. "Law Roach clearly has favorites and Priyanka ain't one," speculated an eighth.
Not everyone felt the same way, however, as some fans praised the outfit and defended Roach's styling choices. "Forward thinking suit. Modern. A nod to culture and a gorgeous lady pulling it off. All is well in Lawville. Love her and love the look," praised one fan.
"She looks FAB! U guys don't get It," exclaimed a second. "What? Are y'all blind? She looks amazing!" wrote a third. "I looovvveeeee this look," gushed a fourth. "She's literally perfect wow," added a fifth, while a sixth simply declared: "This styling ate."
