Making history yet again, global icon and Hollywood superstar Priyanka Chopra Jonas has become the first woman ever to grace the cover of Esquire India. Under the bold and fitting headline “The Power of Priyanka,” the cover isn’t just a celebration, it’s a cultural milestone.
For over two decades, Priyanka Chopra has reshaped what it means to be a global superstar. From her beginnings in Indian cinema to rising as a formidable name in Hollywood, she has shattered every convention and crossed every frontier. Her latest milestone, becoming the first woman to headline Esquire India, is yet another reflection of the path she continues to define.
Whether leading Quantico as the first South Asian to headline an American network drama, holding her own alongside John Cena and Idris Elba in the recently released film Heads of State, or gracing solo international posters for global franchises like Citadel, Priyanka has continually proven that her screen presence transcends boundaries.
But beyond her on-screen acclaim, Priyanka’s influence extends into fashion, business, and advocacy. She is a long-standing global brand ambassador for Bvlgari, a MET Gala veteran often referred to as its Queen Bee, and a regular name on TIME’s 100 Most Influential and Forbes’ Most Powerful Women lists.
This Esquire India cover doesn’t just celebrate her—it reflects a larger shift in global representation, one she’s been leading for years. Poised, powerful, and endlessly pioneering, Priyanka Chopra Jonas is not only the face of the magazine’s historic issue, she is the moment, and a movement in herself.
This milestone isn’t just about being the first, it’s about opening doors so she’s never the only. That is, and has always been, the power of Priyanka.
