Priyanka Chopra has undeniably made a splash at the premiere of her upcoming action-comedy, "Heads of State," currently slated for release on July 2, 2025. While the film boasts a stellar cast including John Cena and Idris Elba, it was Chopra who commanded attention, according to early reports and social media buzz.
At the New York City premiere, Chopra donned a dazzling silver gown. The sleeveless, floor-length satin dress featured a crew neckline, spaghetti straps, and a figure-skimming silhouette, accentuating her curves. She accessorized with minimal silver jewelry and black pointed pumps. Her hair was styled in soft, straight waves with a center parting, and her makeup featured a brown lip shade, kohl-lined eyes, winged eyeliner, and a glowing complexion. According to her nail artist, Pattie Yankee, Chopra wanted her glam to feel simple and elevated, reflecting the action-packed vibe of the film.
Beyond her fashion choices, Chopra's presence at the premiere generated considerable excitement. She shared insights into her life as a mother, mentioning that her daughter, Malti Mari, is the "boss" at home. She also recounted a recent viral video of Malti trying on her hat and heels before the Met Gala 2025, sharing that Malti often helps her get ready.
"Heads of State" is directed by Ilya Naishuller. The story follows an unlikely alliance between the US President, Will Derringer (John Cena), a former action movie star, and the UK Prime Minister, Sam Clarke (Idris Elba), a veteran SAS-trained commando. The two leaders, who have a public rivalry, must set aside their differences when they become targets of a ruthless foreign adversary. Chopra plays Noel Bisset, a senior MI6 agent tasked with protecting them as they embark on a wild, multinational run to thwart a global conspiracy. Other cast members include Jack Quaid, Paddy Considine, Stephen Root, and Carla Gugino.
Chopra described the film as the kind you want to watch with friends, emphasizing its fun and engaging nature. She also mentioned having a screening with her friends and family, highlighting the positive reception. The actress shared how her devar (brother-in-law) Joe Jonas supported her at the screening, introducing the film to the audience and expressing his admiration for her work alongside Cena and Elba.
In other promotional appearances, Chopra has showcased diverse fashion choices. She recently wore a sleek olive suede suit, sparking conversation about "method dressing" and channeling her character's MI6 operative persona. The suit, paired with a white button-down shirt, was a departure from her usual glamorous red carpet style, aligning more with a '90s spy thriller aesthetic. She has also been seen in a slinky white dress paired with peep-toe heels, continuing her "Heads of State" fashion streak.
The film is set to release on Prime Video on July 2, 2025, and will be available in multiple languages, including English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada.
