audiences talking. From the intense sword fights to the emotional undercurrents of revenge and survival, the film looks like it is one of the most bloody and unique pirate films.

The actress has now revealed an interesting behind-the-scenes detail about her costume, adding more intrigue to her character.
Priyanka Chopra reveals intriguing deets about her The Bluff armour
In the trailer, Priyanka is seen wearing a rugged, battle-ready armour that perfectly reflects her character’s dangerous past as a pirate. The actress shared that the armour is completely handmade, designed to feel authentic rather than ornamental. The sleeveless, high-neck brown armour features two leather straps, one running across the shoulder and another secured at the waist, giving it a functional and raw aesthetic that aligns with the film’s gritty tone.
What makes the costume even more special is the fact that it was crafted by renowned costume designer Antoinette Messam. Messam recently earned recognition for her work on The Harder They Fall, for which she was honoured at the Hamilton Behind the Scenes Awards. Her involvement in The Bluff ensures a level of detail and craftsmanship that elevates the visual storytelling. The handmade armour is not only a costume choice but an extension of Bloody Mary’s identity. As per Priyanka's latest Instagram story, more details about the armour and her role will come out soon.
