Here are some photos of Priyanka Chopra at the London premiere of Citadel this week. She posed with her husband Nick Jonas and her costar Richard Madden. She seemed especially concerned that photographers get a butt shot, which is so funny to me. Anyway, she looked gorgeous – the dress is Vivienne Westwood, the only fashion house which can do a proper corset. Love her dark red lip too. To promote the film, Pri has been giving a lot of interviews, and she recently spoke about dealing with insecure men who can’t handle her success. I think she’s talking about men within the industry, not the man she’s married to.
Actor and global icon Priyanka Chopra said on Tuesday that society needs to raise men who are not insecure about the success of women. She opened up about pay parity in the film industry and revealed that there are some men in her life who are “very insecure about her success.”
“I have some incredible men in my life who are not insecure about my success, but I also have men in my life who are very insecure about my success,” she added. “I think men have enjoyed freedom and the pride of being the breadwinners and the leaders of the family. It is threatening to their territory when a woman does that, or if a woman is more successful, or if a man is staying at home and a woman goes to work.”
The actress talked about the need for change in society at this time and said, “We have to teach our sons that there is no shame in crying, in being able to share with your sister, mother, girlfriend, or wife, and give them the spotlight.”
She discussed her own family and recalled a time when her mother had a higher income than her father. She added that because her parents viewed the earnings as a unit, there was no ego conflict regarding earnings. “My dad did that to my mother… Now when I am walking the red carpet with my husband and he steps aside and gives me centre stage, I feel very proud that I have surrounded myself with people that don’t have such insecurities.”
“It is threatening to their territory when a woman does that, or if a woman is more successful, or if a man is staying at home and a woman goes to work” – I loathe this conversation because I feel like people are reinforcing this attitude by talking about it, and I hate that this is still a thing. But it’s definitely still a thing. Buzzfeed recently did a piece on modern women in their 30s and 40s who make more than their husbands and almost across the board, the women feel guilty about it and overcompensate or try to keep it a secret. If he can’t handle your success, walk away. Seriously. It f–king sucks that so many men are like this, not just with their partners but with their female coworkers! Men are just the f–king worst.

She looks stunning in that dress!!!! I too would want a butt shot if my butt looked that good in a dress.
Perfect shade of red!
Gorgeous
I’ve met more than a few insecure men myself.
The back of the dress is beautiful. She was right to get it photographed from that angle, as well as from the front. If that is a butt shot, when it’s Priyanka doing it, well so be it.
Richard Madden is so handsome, Nice to see him after his too early demise on Game of Thrones.
She is absolutely stunning. I heard her interview on ‘Armchair Expert’ and found her to be very interesting and likable. I’m looking forward to checking out the new show!
I’d want to make sure the photogs got a butt shot too if I looked that amazing in a dress. She is gorgeous and looks amazing in that dress!
I seriously did not recognize Richard Madden?!?!?! I think the lack of stubble threw me?!
Well I’m in my early 40s and being raised by two conservative boomers who benefitted from so many things that they want to deny us now and are fully under the control of Fox News today I know that I still have occasions where it’s hard for me to be assertive or not wanting to come off as a bitch or embarrass a man and that’s after doing the work to get over those internalized issues. I’ve come a long way but things that were drilled into me from infancy became instinctive and it’s hard to change your instincts.
“…who benefitted from so many things that they want to deny us now…” That right there feels like one of the most important aging conversations to have and goals to work toward: not becoming that kind of person. Forget invisibility, forget losing one’s looks, forget whether or not to have a cosmetic procedure if in a financial position to do so. Gradually becoming a barrier to other people’s fight against anti-lgbt, anti-choice, anti-woman, pro-victim-blaming agendas? That is actually scary, and a motivator to learn what to do and what not to do early.
Beautiful.
Her styling , hair, dress, makeup all lovely.
She looks fabulous, love that classic gown.
So much better than the current fads of sheer, cut-outs, and all black everything.
Did she trim her hair? I like this length on her.
I see her point. IRL, women are still pushing for equal space, etc. And yes, office politics and the old boys club, game playing, mansplaining, lack of respect is still very much in play.
But at the cost of living, I think all that should be mute. Hard to get by on one salary for most.
Richard Madden looks very good. I only know him from The Bodyguard.
At first look, I thought it was Fassy.
If she and Nick Jonas are happy, more power to them.
Hollywood couples, either 2 performers, or 1 famous 1 civilian, many don’t last long.
This might be the best I’ve seen someone look in a Vivienne Westwood. I don’t like the necklines on a lot of them, but I like this one, and the fit is just perfection.
Perfection. That is all.
