Fashion, heritage, and vision for the future intertwined in an evening featuring Olivier Rousteing and Priyanka Chopra Jonas. Supported by Johnnie Walker, the event celebrated the power of icons and the power of creative collaboration.
As part of one of the most anticipated nights of the fashion calendar, Johnnie Walker brought together two key figures of the cultural scene: Olivier Rousteing and Priyanka Chopra Jonas . The encounter was not only a display of style and sophistication, but also a statement about heritage, creative collaboration, and a vision for the future.
Priyanka Chopra dazzled in an exclusive Balmain design, designed by Rousteing, that reinterpreted classic mid-20th-century tailoring. Inspired by sharp silhouettes and codes of elegance from Pierre Balmain’s own 1953 archive, the look embodied a dialogue between past and present with the French creative director’s unmistakable stamp.
“We don’t just celebrate fashion, we celebrate history and build new moments,” said Olivier Rousteing. “Bringing a Pierre Balmain piece from 1953, reworked in 2025 with my own DNA, connects past, present, and future.” The designer also highlighted the connection with Chopra, whom he described as an emblematic woman who represents empowerment, strength, and hope, and who has been a constant ally of his artistic vision.
The collaboration with Johnnie Walker, beyond the usual sponsorship, underscored the spirit of shared heritage. “I also see this in the beautiful journey Johnnie Walker has brought us together: a story of incredible heritage and legacy, but also looking to the future and the next generation,” Rousteing added.
Chopra Jonas, for her part, said: “It’s very special to be able to wear a custom Olivier design and a privilege to be considered one of his muses. Johnnie Walker helped bring tonight’s collaboration to life, which is a celebration of Olivier’s achievements and the indelible mark he has left on the world of fashion.”
A night where style was just the surface of something deeper: the collective construction of a narrative that honors history while still looking forward.
