Priyanka Chopra returned to the iconic venue where she was crowned Miss World in 2000, reflecting on a memorable moment from that night. At just 18 years old, Priyanka won the title at the Millennium Dome, and now in 2024, she revisited the location to attend a concert by her husband, Nick Jonas.

In her Instagram post, Priyanka shared her nostalgic feelings, writing, “I was crowned Miss World at this arena 24 years ago. I’ll never forget my little 18-year-old, excited, nervous and competitive self, trying to look and be the best I could be.”

She humorously recounted a challenging moment from the pageant: “A memory I will never forget is the feeling of balancing on pencil heels with a gorgeous Hemant Trivedi dress that was falling off the entire evening because my body tape wouldn’t stay on. If you google the pictures, after I win, I look like I’m doing a namaste in gratitude but I’m actually desperately trying to keep my dress up!”

Despite the nerves, she managed to laugh about it now, saying, “Clearly I survived, and it was all well in the end.”

After her Miss World victory, Priyanka transitioned to acting, making her debut in the Tamil film Thamizhan (2002) and later in Bollywood with The Hero: Love Story of a Spy (2003).

Looking ahead, Priyanka will appear in the American action-comedy Heads of State, alongside Idris Elba and John Cena, and in the upcoming swashbuckler film The Bluff, where she plays a female pirate in a 19th-century Caribbean setting.
