Many noticed Priyanka's sari - it was the purple one her grandmother had worn to a White House state banquet hosted by President Lyndon B. Johnson and his wife during Indira Gandhi's 1966 US visit. The only accessories Priyanka wore were pearl earrings and her grandmother's trademark man's watch, which Indira had inherited from Jawaharlal Nehru and passed on to her granddaughter.
