Showcasing her flair for fashion, Priyanka effortlessly slayed her teenage style in a chic pink sleeveless top paired with a trendy skirt. In another snapshot taken in Boston, she sported cargo shorts and a cap, perfectly complemented by classic white sneakers.

This early start eventually led her to win the Femina Miss India title in 2000, followed by her crowning as Miss World the same year. This marked the beginning of her remarkable journey in the entertainment industry.
