Priyanka Chopra to be honoured at Gold Gala 2026
Gold House announced on its official Instagram account that the fifth edition of its annual Gold Gala will be held on May 9 this year. They also announced that at the gala, Priyanka will be handed the Global Vanguard Honor. Jet Li and Simu Liu will be honoured with the Gold Legend Honor and Gold Mogul Honor, respectively. Charles Melton, Eileen Gu, and Revathi Advaithi will also be honoured at the gala.
“What began as a community milestone has become the definitive worldwide Asian Pacific cultural convening—and this year, it goes even further,” they wrote, making the announcement. A portion of the caption also reads, “Over 650 leaders across industries will gather to honor the 2026 #Gold100 List around this year’s theme: A New Gold World—a call to build shared abundance in an era increasingly defined by division.” EJAE, Theresia Gouw, HUMAN MADE, Tejasvi Manoj, Jen Lee, and Brett Bolton will speak at the gala.
Bowen Yang will open the gala with a monologue, and Deli Boys’ stars Asif Ali, Saagar Shaikh, and Poorna Jagannathan will open the second half. Hayley Kiyoko will also perform.
