Priyanka Chopra, Charles Melton, more stars light up Gold Gala

Gold House's star-studded fifth annual Gold Gala lit up downtown Los Angeles on May 10, 2026, with a glitzy evening celebrating accomplishments by leaders from across the Asian diaspora. Throughout the evening, honorees including Charles Melton, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Jet Li and Simu Liu took the stage to accept awards for their efforts in improving representation in Hollywood.

Change-makers across entertainment, sports and business were lauded for their achievements, and among them were those who made it on the nonprofit's Gold100 List, which names the "100 most impactful Asian Pacific leaders over the past year." The event fell on the second weekend of Amid Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month.

As the night's arrivals wound down and the ceremony kicked off, Priyanka Chopra Jonas closed down the carpet at the Gold Gala.
