After making an impression with her unique trench coat dress and black boots at last year’s fashion prom, the Quantico star once again wore Ralph Lauren for the event, but in a totally different way. This time around, she stunned in a red wine-colored velvet gown paired with an embellished gold headdress with an attached cape. “I think this is such a departure from what we did last year,” she told PEOPLE on the red carpet. “I love the idea of this hood, such a nod to the theme, but at the same time, the embroidery’s all made in India, so I love my two worlds colliding.” According to the designer’s Instagram page, the hood was “completely crafted by hand, with Swarovski crystals, meticulous beadwork, and over 250 hours of embroidery.” David Fisher/REX/Shutterstock Marion Curtis/StarPix/REX/Shutterstock Looking for more style content?

Chopra also seemed to tease her attendance at the upcoming royal wedding, where her close pal Meghan Markle will tie the knot with Prince Harry. When asked if there were any other events she was shopping for, the 35-year-old actress coyly replied, “Yeah, a few events coming up, which will be fun.” Rob Latour/REX/Shutterstock Chopra recently revealed on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen that she’s yet to pick her dress for the highly anticipated May 19 nuptials. “I haven’t even been fitted yet. I have an idea [what it’s going to be],” she revealed to Cohen during the After Show. “I’m more stressed out about a small hat. How do those things stay [on]?” RELATED VIDEO: Praise!
