Priyanka Chopra's international standing keeps going up every day. After her recent speeches as UNICEF global goodwill ambassador at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), the actress hosted the Global Citizen Festival in New York City. Dressed in a floral dress by Fausto Puglisi, the actress took the stage with a very 1960s hipster vibe.
