Photos show the best looks Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra have worn together, from the Met Gala to the Grammys

Brianna Bryson/Getty Images Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra Jonas have been sharing standout fashion moments since 2017. They often attend red carpets together in glamorous looks. On occasion, they also wear daring outfits that include sheer fabric, sparkles, and unique shoes. Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra Jonas are the definition of a power couple. Since 2017, the 33-year-old musician and 43-year-old actor have consistently reached new heights in their relationship and respective careers. They've also remained one of the most stylish couples in Hollywood. Here are the best red-carpet looks they've worn together, from the Met Gala to the Grammys. Nick Jonas, 33, and Priyanka Chopra Jonas, 43, had a strong style debut at the 2017 Met Gala — though they weren't dating at the time.

Chopra Jonas wore a trench-coat-style dress with a wide train, while Jonas walked beside her in a black tuxedo and bow tie. His jacket had a silver metallic pattern that was reminiscent of art-deco styles. More than a year passed before they announced their relationship and returned to the red carpet in glamorous fashion.

Jonas, on the other hand, donned a cream suit jacket, a white button-up shirt, a black bow tie, and matching pants. A few months later, the couple got married in stunning outfits.

At their reception in New Delhi, for example, sparkles and velvet stole the show. Chopra Jonas wore a gold lehenga covered in beads and sequins, as well as a dupatta around her arms. Jonas contrasted her light ensemble in a black suit with a velvet jacket. The couple seemed to begin coordinating their fashion around the start of 2019, when they attended a gala hosted by Farfetch.

Her garment stood out thanks to its mesh panels, stripes of colorful fabric, and semi-sheer skirt. They also experimented with unique colors and styles around that time.

Steve Granitz/Getty Images One such look in February 2019 included a brown suit and gray T-shirt worn by Jonas, and a strapless, pink-and-yellow gown worn by Chopra Jonas. The latter garment had a sparkling bodice, scoop neckline, and floral skirt with a thigh-high slit. Other times, like at the 2019 Vanity Fair Oscar Party, the couple stuck with more classic red-carpet looks. The couple at the Vanity Fair Oscar after party on February 24, 2019.

Jonas stood beside her in a blue Missoni tuxedo, a white button-up shirt, a black bow tie, and a crystal brooch. Still, they occasionally wore contrasting styles and colors that year.

Her white, long-sleeved dress had a deep V-neckline, a floor-length skirt with a high slit, and sequins from top to bottom. Jonas' look, on the other hand, was a lot more colorful. He wore a two-piece suit with a madras pattern and blue velvet loafers decorated with tassels. The couple took a risk with their outfits at the 2019 Met Gala.

She also wore a metal crown, white eyebrows, and sparkling pumps. Jonas' look was also bold. He chose an all-white suit from the same designer and sparkling Louboutin shoes. Though their after-party outfits were arguably better, there's no denying that they nailed the event's camp theme. But they returned to their signature elegance at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival.

Chopra Jonas' Georges Hobeika gown was strapless with a ruffled neckline and tiered skirt, and Jonas' understated tuxedo matched perfectly. Their outfits were arguably two of the best worn by celebrities at the festival that year. That same day, they showed the more daring side of their couple style.

Chopra Jonas wore a sleeveless gown seemingly made from chain mail. It had a V-neckline, a wrap skirt, and a thigh-high slit. Jonas' look was also bold and included a copper suit jacket worn over a black top. They also wore daring looks at the premiere of the Jonas Brothers' "Chasing Happiness" documentary. Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/Getty Images Chopra Jonas' gown wrapped around her waist and had a hip-high slit, which revealed the shining, fishnet lining underneath. By wearing the black, long-sleeved look, she joined Sophie Turner and Danielle Jonas in wearing sheer illusion looks at the event. Jonas kept things more casual in a maroon suit with a bomber-style jacket and pants that cinched at the ankles. At the start of 2020, the couple returned to classic glamour at the Golden Globe Awards. Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Nick Jonas at the Golden Globes on January 5, 2020.

Jonas was also in attendance wearing a shiny Prada suit with a matching bolo tie. They also continued to coordinate their looks at the 2020 Grammys.

It had a floral print across its skirt, salmon-colored fringe hanging from each sleeve, and a plunging neckline that reached below her stomach. Though Jonas' look wasn't as daring, it was bold and complemented the gold tones of his wife's gown. He wore a metallic suit and matching dress shoes. Still, Jonas and Chopra Jonas have both maintained their individual styles throughout their relationship, like at the 2021 Billboard Music Awards.

The long-sleeved dress had her signature deep neckline, an oversized metal belt, crystals from top to bottom, and a tall slit in its skirt. Jonas' outfit was drastically different: a vibrant, green three-piece with a jacket, a silk shirt, and matching pants. The couple, who now have one child together, wore their boldest looks to date in November 2021. Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Nick Jonas at the Fashion Awards on November 29, 2021.

Jonas' black suit with red detailing was simpler, but his shoes were not. He wore red tabi sneakers created by Maison Margiela. They looked chic in black and red at a 2023 movie premiere.

Jonas, on the other hand, wore an all-black ensemble that included a high-neck sweater beneath his sharp blazer. He also wore a striking silver watch. In 2025, the couple celebrated Diwali with sparkling outfits. Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra Jonas at the All That Glitters Diwali Ball in New York City.

Zuhair Murad designed Chopra Jonas' crystal-covered pants and jacket set, which she paired with a tulle halter top. Jonas' matching sherwani and trousers were the work of designer Anita Dongre. This year, Mr. and Mrs. Jonas coordinated outfits to promote a new film. Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Nick Jonas at "The Bluff" premiere in Hollywood, California. Brianna Bryson/Getty Images They attended the premiere of "The Bluff" in Hollywood to celebrate Chopra Jonas' role in the film. Both wore shades of brown. The musician paired burnt-orange trousers with a matching button-up top and a tweed jacket in cool-toned shades. He also wore a white T-shirt and black dress shoes. Chopra Jonas, however, took a more dramatic approach. Her chocolate-brown gown had a leather halter bodice and a wrap skirt that was short in front and long across the floor. "The Bluff" costume designer Antoinette Messam said on Instagram that Chopra Jonas' premiere outfit was made from part of a costume she wore in her coming film.
