Priyanka Chopra’s Backless Dress Makes a Splash

Priyanka Chopra just wore the mullet of dresses: all business in the front, but a party in the back. At a press conference for Baywatch in Mumbai, the Quantico star stepped out in a seemingly simple —some would even call it conservative — white dress by Paula Ka, but once she turned her back on us, we saw the excitement. Kind of like Chopra herself: bright but mysterious.

The wrap dress featured a collared V-neck with notched lapels and a belted waist that showed off her hips. The loose skirt was a little deceptive: Until she stuck her leg out, it was hard to see the high slit hidden there. Then, she turned around and we saw it: a deep draped back. Oh, Alex Parrish, always full of surprises. And what better way to celebrate the fact that Baywatch is back than with a dress that shows off yours? Her entire perfect back was on full display, thanks to the cowl design, and no one is complaining.

The dress sells for $1,260 on FarFetch, if you want to emulate Chopra’s multifaceted look.

She wore her hair in a low ponytail, parted in the middle, and accessorized with long earrings from Outhouse Jewellery and a pair of dark round shades that gave the otherwise classic look an urban twist. Her strappy black heels were Giuseppe Zanotti. The sexy look was put together by stylist Ami Patel, who shared the ensemble’s details on Instagram.

Chopra posed casually leaning on a Baywatch branded surfboard, as one does.
