Alia Bhatt, renowned as one of India’s leading actresses, has now left her imprint on the global stage. Recently, Alia graced the esteemed Met Gala, a momentous occasion where she radiated elegance in her ethereal ensemble. Proudly representing India, she adorned a traditional saree, a masterpiece requiring 1965 man-hours and the craftsmanship of around 163 artisans.
Alia Bhatt presence at the Met Gala 2024 sparked a frenzy on social media, with an unseen picture of her becoming a viral sensation. Draped in her floral saree, she captivated onlookers, resembling a garden nymph.
As Alia posed, a ‘kaala teeka’ caught the eye, nestled discreetly behind her ear. In Indian tradition, this black spot is believed to ward off the evil eye.
Here’s the picture:
Amid speculation about the expenses involved in attending the Met Gala, it’s noteworthy that the event’s proceeds support the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute. While corporate entities often secure tables for their guests, individuals typically cover their ticket costs. Estimates suggest Alia likely expended a substantial sum, at least Rs. 63 lakh, to partake in this prestigious affair.
Alia’s attire was a sight to behold—a custom mint green Sabyasachi saree adorned with intricate 3D floral motifs and boasting a 23-foot train. Embellished with silk floss, beads, sequins, and semi-precious stones, it exuded opulence. Paired with a handcrafted blouse embellished with emeralds and pearls, Alia’s ensemble was accentuated by a statement matha patti and exquisite jewelry, culminating in an elegant appearance.
In the previous year’s Met Gala, Alia had graced the event in a mesmerizing white ball gown, a tribute to Lagerfield’s Chanel bride collection. Adorned with pearls and complemented by custom embellishments, she exuded the charm of a Disney princess.
