The Met Gala 2023 was a glamorous event that drew the attention of fashion enthusiasts around the world. Among the many celebrities who attended, Isha Ambani, an Indian celebrity, wore a custom-made sari gown designed by Prabal Gurung. The gown was a crepe-back satin with pearls, crystals, and bugle beads, hand-embroidered in India and made in New York. The gown was a nod to their heritage and Karl Lagerfeld’s India collection.
Prabal Gurung, who also designed Alia Bhatt’s debut gown, shared his thoughts on the gown and his friendship with Isha Ambani. He praised Isha’s grace and elegance while wearing the sari gown and expressed joy that her Met Gala attendance came after the birth of her twins. Prabal and Isha had previously discussed a world that is kinder to all children and celebrates all kinds of choices, and Prabal praised Isha’s commitment to bringing India and what it has to offer to the world.
Isha Ambani’s stylist, Priyanka Kapadia Badani, explained the inspiration behind the look. The idea was a simple, powerful line, paying homage to Karl Lagerfeld, with a smattering of pearls in a draped silhouette inspired by the sari from Prabal Gurung’s atelier. The look was completed with stunning diamond jewels, a mini bag from the 2012 Paris Bombay collection, and hair left in waves. Isha had also worn a Prabal Gurung creation to the Met Gala in 2019.
Prabal Gurung recently attended the grand opening of the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre in Mumbai, demonstrating his close ties with the Ambani family. In conclusion, the Met Gala 2023 was a night to remember, and Isha Ambani’s outfit of the day has become the topic of discussion among fashion enthusiasts.
