Priyanka Chopra to be honoured at Gold Gala 2026 alongside EJAE, Charles Melton, Simu Liu
Los Angeles, April 24
In another feather to her cap, actor Priyanka Chopra Jonas is set to be honoured at the upcoming Gold House Gold Gala 2026, joining the likes of South Korean singer-songwriter EJAE and actors Charles Melton and Simu Liu, among others.
The Gold Gala 2026 will take place on May 9 at The Music Centre in downtown Los Angeles.
In its fifth year, the Gold Gala is expanding its vision into a broader global platform that recognises cultural influence and impact across industries.
This year's theme, 'A New Gold World', reflects a collective effort to build shared progress and opportunity in a time marked by division.
The event will bring together over 650 influential leaders to celebrate the Gold 100 List, with standout honorees including Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Charles Melton, Jet Li, Simu Liu, Eileen Gu and more, each recognised for their contributions to culture and global storytelling.
Among the key honours, Priyanka Chopra Jonas will receive the prestigious Global Vanguard Honor, acknowledging her remarkable 25-year career that has bridged the Asian Pacific and Western entertainment industries, as per a press release.
Her body of work spans acclaimed performances in Hindi cinema and Hollywood, alongside her continued efforts to spotlight emerging and underrepresented talent through her production banner, Purple Pebble Pictures, an impact that has earned her recognition on platforms such as TIME 100 and Forbes' Most Powerful Women.
The evening will also feature appearances from Gold 100 honourees across diverse sectors, including entertainment, business, technology, fashion, social impact, sports and gaming. Names such as Theresia Gouw, HUMAN MADE, Tejasvi Manoj, Jen Lee and Brett Bolton will take the stage to share their vision for the future.

Honestly, it's well deserved. She has done more for Indian representation in Hollywood than anyone else. Her production house Purple Pebble Pictures is also doing great work with regional cinema. Keep flying high, PC!
She is a global icon, no doubt. But I also appreciate that she uses her platform to highlight underrepresented talent. The Gold Gala seems like a powerful event. Looking forward to seeing what everyone says.
Great achievement for her, but I sometimes wish these awards would also recognize more grassroots Indian artists who don't have the same global platform. Still, happy for her success. She has worked hard for 25 years. 🙌
Priyanka Chopra Jonas receiving the Global Vanguard Honor is a big deal. She truly bridges East and West. And the theme 'A New Gold World' is very relevant today. Love that this event focuses on collective progress. 🌟
I remember watching her in 'Aitraaz' and 'Fashion'—she has always been versatile. And now, alongside Simu Liu and Jet Li? That's some incredible company. Well done, Priyanka! 🎉
