Alia Bhatt made her debut at the prestigious Met Gala in New York and stole the show in a stunning gown made of pearls. The actress was styled by celebrity stylist Anaita Shroff Adajania, who took to Instagram to explain how the “Mumbai to the Met” look was executed.
The gown was a famous corseted couture ball gown look by Karl Lagerfeld worn by Claudia Schiffer as the final Bridal look for Fall 1992 Couture. Around 100,000 pearls were added as a fitting salute to the genius of Karl Lagerfeld by Prabal Gurung, while jewelry designer Alice Cicolini x Malabar Gold and Diamonds worked closely to create the ring stack.
The makeup was designed to keep the skin looking romantic with flushed cheeks but also give it a modern twist with soft ethereal eyes and nude lips. The hair was released back with a straight and wavy messy look and was adorned with delicate hand-strung jasmine buds created with pearls and a few spikes. Cut-off custom-made embellished gloves by Outhouse with mini motifs and statement earrings were added to the look.
Alia Bhatt’s Met Gala look received praise from Bollywood celebrities and fans on social media. Katrina Kaif called her “so pretty,” while Manish Malhotra dropped red hearts under the post. Singer Sophie Choudhry wrote, “So so beautiful. Nailed it.” Fans commented that Alia looked like a princess and compared her to Cinderella. Some declared that Alia’s gown was the prettiest Met Gala look from Bollywood ever.
Alia Bhatt’s Met Gala debut was a grand success, with her pearl gown and unique styling capturing the attention of fans and fashion enthusiasts alike.
