Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra slayed at the Oscars 2017 red carpet, with a stunning geometric Ralph and Russo white and silver panel dress. The 'Quantico' star finished her look with Lorraine Schwartz diamond earrings and bracelets, straight open hair, and minimal make up. Priyanka had made heads turn last year too, with her red carpet appearance at the Academy Awards, in a white Zuhair Murad strapless gown. A presenter last year, Priyanka was among the spectators this time around. She also had a 'Baywatch' reunion with her co-star Dwayne Johnson.

Even though Bollywood's reigning queen Deepika Padukone didn't get a pass at the 89th Academy Awards, she managed to cast a spell at the after party. Dressed in a Monique Lhuillier Fall 2017 number, the 'xXx: Return of Xander Cage' actress was quite the sight with smoky eyes and nude lips.

Eight-year-old 'Lion' star Sunny Pawar stole the show, throwing thumbs up and flashing his adorable smile. 'Lion' was nominated for six Academy Awards, including best Supporting Actor and Actress for Dev Patel and Nicole Kidman. Sunny, who plays young Saroo in the film, walked the carpet with his translator as he only speaks Hindi.

Veteran actor Om Puri, a famous name in the West way before the two Indian beauties made their way, was honoured at the event. He was felicitated in the "In Memoriam" montage, and received a musical tribute by Grammy and Tony-nominated singer and songwriter Sara Bareilles. She delivered a powerful performance of the Joni Mitchell song 'Both Sides Now'. It was a very emotional Jennifer Aniston who introduced the memoriam segment. Puri died of a cardiac attack in Mumbai last month.
