Met Gala 2024: Find out how Indian celebrities did
The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City played host to the high-profile Met Gala 2024 on Monday evening (Tuesday morning in India). This year's theme was "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion," and the dress code, "The Garden of Time," drew inspiration from a J.G. Ballard short story from 1962. The event was marked by a significant presence from India, with several renowned figures making their mark.
Alia Bhatt stunned in custom-made Sabyasachi saree
Bollywood royalty Alia Bhatt graced the Met Gala 2024 in a custom-made mint green Sabyasachi saree. The outfit was styled by her trusted stylist Anaita Shroff Adajania and adorned with genuine gems. A striking feature of the saree was its 23-foot-long train, designed to pay homage to the event's theme. This marked Bhatt's second appearance at the Met Gala following her debut in 2023 wearing Prabal Gurung couture.
Natasha Poonawalla and Mona Patel made impressive appearances
Indian socialite Natasha Poonawalla turned heads in a custom Maison Margiela designed by John Galliano (who was also Zendaya's pick), paired with towering Christian Louboutin platforms. This follows her memorable appearance at the 2022 Met Gala in a Sabyasachi x Schiaparelli ensemble. Meanwhile, Forbes Next 1000 CEO Mona Patel made her Met Gala debut in an off-shoulder Iris Van Herpen gown. The dress, reflecting the "Garden of Time" dress code, featured a butterfly-inspired design and 3D butterflies adorning the sleeves.
Mindy Kaling and Ambika Mod debuted stunning gowns
Actor-producer Mindy Kaling chose a sculpted nude couture gown by Gaurav Gupta for her Met Gala appearance. The gown featured an impressive structured cape that extended into a train. Meanwhile, Ambika Mod, known for her role in One Day, made her inaugural red-carpet appearance at the event in a monochrome gown from Loewe.
Simone Ashley, Isha Ambani, Sudha Reddy turned heads
Bridgerton star Simone Ashley made a striking appearance at the Met Gala 2024. She chose a navy blue cutout dress designed by Prabal Gurung for the occasion. Reliance Industries's Isha Ambani stole hearts with her hand-embroidered couture saree gown designed by Rahul Mishra. Last but not least, Hyderabad-based billionaire-philanthropist Sudha Reddy rocked the evening with her "Amore Eterno" necklace. It featured a 180-carat diamond centerpiece along with a 25-carat heart-shaped diamond and three additional 20-carat heart-shaped diamonds.
