In a historic first, global icon Priyanka Chopra Jonas has become the first-ever woman to appear on the cover of Esquire India, breaking new ground for the lifestyle and men’s fashion magazine.
Esquire India revealed the cover on its official Instagram page on July 10, calling it a moment of pride and change. The feature is already making waves across social media, with fans and celebrities praising the milestone as a progressive step in Indian magazine culture.
Draped in a bold pinstripe jacket worn over a sleek bralette, Chopra exudes power, confidence, and elegance. Her berry-toned lipstick and tousled waves added to the fierce aesthetic that many are calling one of her most iconic looks yet.
A Cultural Shift
Traditionally known for celebrating masculinity and male icons, Esquire India has taken a significant editorial turn by spotlighting a strong, accomplished woman on its cover. This move aligns with broader global trends of inclusivity and diverse representation in media.
“This is more than just a magazine cover—it’s a cultural moment,” one fan posted on X (formerly Twitter). “Priyanka Chopra continues to shatter glass ceilings and redefine what it means to be a woman in power.”
A Global Star, A Proud Moment
Priyanka Chopra Jonas, who rose to fame after winning Miss World in 2000, has since become one of India’s biggest exports to Hollywood. From her breakout American TV role in Quantico to recent projects like Citadel and her upcoming multilingual film with Mahesh Babu, the actress-producer remains a force across industries.
In her Esquire feature, Chopra opens up about her journey, her resilience, and her evolving identity as a global citizen deeply connected to her Indian roots.
