Known for her bold fashion statements at the Met Gala, fans have come to expect Priyanka Chopra's striking presence at the grand celebration of style. However, several reports indicate that the actor will skip this year's edition due to prior work commitments.

Priyanka is reportedly tied up with shooting for a new film in Antarctica, keeping her away from fashion's biggest night. The event is scheduled to take place on May 4 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.

The actor is likely to be occupied with filming Varanasi, her upcoming project, which is reportedly set against the striking backdrop of the South Pole. Varanasi marks SS Rajamouli's highly anticipated Telugu-language follow-up to the blockbuster RRR, mounted on a staggering budget of $150 million.

Priyanka is also set to receive the prestigious Global Vanguard Award at the Gold House Gold Gala, which will take place at the The Music Center in Los Angeles on May 9.
