Actor Alia Bhatt walked the famous stairs of the MET Gala 2023 like a true superstar while looking lovely in a white gown. Alia was radiant and elegant as she wore a full gown covered in one lakh pearl embroidery.
The legendary Chanel bridal wear served as inspiration for Prabal Gurung’s creation of the dress, which showcased authentically Indian craftsmanship. Alia first shared a black and white photo on Instagram to give the world a preview of her appearance.
Later on, the star walked the iconic MET Gala stairs looking like a bride in pearls. Taking to instagram, Alia posted a long note complementing Karl’s innovative and inspiring couture and also praised designer Prabal for the iconic look, which was inspired by supermodel Claudia Schiffer’s 1992 Chanel bridal look.
“Met Gala — Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty. I have always been fascinated by the iconic Chanel brides. Season after season, the genius of Karl Lagerfeld shone through in the most innovative and awe-inspiring couture. My look tonight was inspired from this and in particular by supermodel Claudia Schiffer’s 1992 Chanel bridal look.”
She further added, “I wanted to do something that felt authentic (hello, pearls!) and proudly made in India. The embroidery, made with a 100,000 pearls is a labour of love by @prabalgurung. I’m so proud to wear you for my first Met. A girl can never have too many pearls… and the right accessories to complement the look which in our case translated to the bow of pearls on my hair. Oh, and it’s white, for my Choup-ED.”
