For the event, Jacqueline opted for a chic monochrome look featuring a strapless, form-fitting black mini dress embellished with shimmering sequins and beadwork. Representing Chopard, she accessorised the outfit with a statement diamond necklace and a matching diamond bracelet.

Her beauty look featured voluminous Hollywood waves styled with a middle parting, along with soft, smoky eye makeup and a neutral nude lip.

On the work front, Jacqueline Fernandez was recently seen in the Sonu Sood-directed action thriller ‘Fateh’ and the star-studded comedy ‘Housefull 5’.

She will next be seen in ‘Welcome to the Jungle’, the third installment of the comedy franchise, directed by Ahmed Khan. Fernandez stars alongside a massive ensemble cast including Akshay Kumar, Paresh Rawal, and Suniel Shetty. (ANI)
