Mumbai, April 22 (NationPress) Global icon Priyanka Chopra Jonas is poised to receive the inaugural Global Vanguard Award during Gold House's fourth annual Gold Gala, a prestigious event celebrating the 2025 A100 List and First Lights.

Chopra will be honored with this groundbreaking award for her remarkable 25-year journey in bridging Asian Pacific and Western cultures through her distinguished contributions in both Hindi cinema and Hollywood. Her ongoing commitment to uplifting underrepresented voices and her unmatched global platform have earned her recognition from Time 100 and Forbes’ “Most Powerful Women.”

This esteemed event, which highlights the most impactful Asian Pacific leaders and innovators, will signify a historic moment as Chopra becomes the first-ever recipient of this new accolade, acknowledging her pioneering influence across entertainment, business, and philanthropy. Gold House is set to host its eagerly awaited fourth annual Gold Gala on Saturday, May 10, 2025, at the renowned Music Center in downtown Los Angeles.

Regarded as the premier celebration of Asian Pacific and multicultural excellence, the Gold Gala will assemble over 600 prominent attendees to honor the 2025 A100 List — a carefully curated selection of the year’s 100 most significant Asian Pacific figures in culture, to be revealed on May 1, 2025.

The glamorous evening will showcase special stage tributes to honorees including Priyanka Chopra, Jon M. Chu, Laufey, Min Jin Lee, Prabal Gurung, Pokémon CEO Tsunekazu Ishihara (with Pikachu), Ang Lee, Anderson .Paak, Megan Thee Stallion, and the creative team behind Moana 2. Acclaimed Olympians and Paralympians — Suni Lee, Chuck Aoki, and Lee Kiefer — will also be honored.

The night will feature a special performance by Laufey, who will debut a live version of her upcoming single, Silver Lining. This year’s theme, First Light, represents the beams of hope that arise from challenges, celebrating pioneers who have illuminated the path for themselves and future generations.

The evening will also feature a carefully curated Filipino-inspired dinner by OpenTable, prepared by James Beard Award-winning chef Lord Maynard Llera, the culinary mastermind behind the acclaimed Los Angeles restaurant Kuya Lord.

Grammy Award-winning artist Megan Thee Stallion will be recognized with the One House Award for her unwavering support and promotion of Asian Pacific culture through her contributions in music, fashion, and anime.
