 Chopra, 37, a former Miss World who became a star in both
Hollywood and Bollywood, and Jonas, 26, topped People's annual
best dressed list in an eclectic slate that included actor Billy
Porter and tennis champion Serena Williams along with
style-setting veterans such as Jennifer Lopez, Lady Gaga and
Celine Dion.
"It's the first time ever that we have had a man or a couple on
the Top 10 list, let alone as the best dressed. But it really
felt like these two deserved it," People's style and beauty
director, Andrea Lavinthal, told Reuters.
"The combination of the two of them is so exciting to watch.
(Jonas) is not exactly someone who just wears a black tuxedo and
stands next to her on the red carpet. You can tell that he
enjoys fashion as much as she does," Lavinthal added.
Chopra, who became the first Indian to headline a U.S.
television drama series as the star of "Quantico," married the
younger of the three Jonas Brothers musicians in New Delhi in
December 2018, becoming one of the most sought-after celebrity
couples in the world.
Lavinthal praised Chopra and Jonas for embracing different
styles and designers but always looking good.
"They don't do matchy-matchy but they still look like they go
together," she said. "Even walking down the street in New York
City, they are not in jeans and a T-shirt or casual pants. She
is in a head to toe look, and so is he."

Porter, the Emmy-nominated star of TV series "Pose" about New York's
LGBTQ ballroom culture in the 1980s, was deemed the "Disruptor" on
People's Top 10 best dressed list.
Porter, 49, turned heads when he walked the Oscar red carpet in
February in a black velvet tuxedo ball gown, and at the Met Gala in
May dressed as an glittering Egyptian sun god with gold wings.
Lavinthal said Porter's appearances "never felt they were just for
the sake of being outrageous or costumey. It was really the start of
a conversation about what is considered gender appropriate."
People magazine's 20-page style feature in this week's magazine hits
U.S. newsstands on Friday.
