Actress Priyanka Chopra Jonas looked absolutely gorgeous in a flowing red custom Ferragamo gown to accept the Humanitarian Award at the UNICEF Snowflake Ball in New York City on December 4th. I adore her black tie look because of its fluidity and movement, the dramatic high collar and the asymmetric one sleeve. Not to mention the fact that the fiery red bold color is a stand-out! Her look is styled to perfection, with simple nude pointed toe pumps and a champagne colored satin bag. Her diamond cluster earrings were stunning. They accented her face and did not compete with the rest of her look.
Many other designers like Carolina Herrera, Badgley Mischka and Oscar de La Renta showed elegant one sleeve or one shoulder gowns in bold red on the fall runways. But you don’t have to pay thousands of dollars for a designer dress. I found many variations of this Priyanka Chopra bold red dress so you can get her look for less. Besides, you may not be going to a black tie affair, so I have you covered with a few less formal options as well.

This midi-length Tahari One-Shoulder Sash Crepe Dress for $178 will work for many formal or semi-formal occasions and you may wear it more than you would a gown. It has the same color and one shoulder styling as Priyanka’s dress, only in an easier to wear length and easier to pay price.
This Kay Unger New York Rebecca One-Sleeve Jumpsuit with a skirt overlay for $209 has a sort of a retro 50s look for another interesting and dramatic option. It’s perfect when you can’t decide if you want to wear pants or a maxi dress.
This bold red Matériel One-shoulder Draped Jacquard Midi Dress, was $580, and now it is on sale for $348.
This red Misha Jordanne Shirred One-Shoulder Matte Jersey Handkerchief Dress is anther option if you like shirring and an uneven hem. It was $290 and now you can get it for $217.50
And you can get the Priyanka Chopra look in the form of a jumpsuit! You may like this Ramy BrookTessa One-Shoulder Satin Jumpsuit which was $525, and is now on sale for $393.75.
Priyanka Chopra’s shoes are gorgeous, but you can get these Sam Edelman Hazel Pointy Toe Pump in Nude Leather for $119.95. This style comes in narrow, medium and wide widths, so you can get the right fit and be comfortable in these pumps. Nude heels are the way to go with a bright red dress or jumpsuit.
I love the subtle sheen of satin in Priyanka’s bag. You may not carry an evening bag too often, so this Gunne Sax by Jessica McClintock Pleated Clutch will work. Besides it is only $24.50!
These Kenneth Jay Lane Crystal Cluster Earrings are on sale for $100 and will give you all the elegance of real diamond earrings. They are the perfect earrings for your one shoulder Priyanka Chopra look.
Priyanka Chopra Look for Less Styling Tips
1. Steal celebrity style and make it your own.
Even though Priyanka Chopra is in an evening gown, I showed you ways to take her overall look down a notch so it can be less formal. Her same look in a jumpsuit version, or midi-length may fit your lifestyle better than a gown.
2. Wear minimal jewelry with one shoulder or high neck looks.
Avoid wearing a necklace and instead wear one statement bracelet or eye-catching pair of earrings, the way Priyanka did. Wearing a necklace would compete with the neckline.
3. One shoulder looks work for many figure types.
One shoulder looks are a chic way to show a little skin without baring too much. They are a great solution to looking sexy but appropriate for women over 40.
4. Wear nude or neutral accessories with red.
Take it from Priyanka and wear nude or neutral shoes with bright red. Black can look too heavy and red can look too matchy-matchy (and perhaps like a 1980s bridesmaid). Soft golds or gunmetal metallics would work well, too.
5. Wear the right bra!
With a one shoulder look, make sure you wear a smooth convertible strapless bra. The good thing about one sleeve looks is you can wear one strap (on the sleeve shoulder) with a convertible strapless bra and get more support and less slippage. You may also try sticky bra cups, but those work best on smaller busted women and with tighter fitting dresses so they stay in place.
