Bollywood star Alia Bhatt returned to the Met Gala carpet, this year opting for a floral saree by designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee.
In her second outing at the annual prestigious fashion gala at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art, the actor garnered the spotlight with her elegant saree, which extended into a 30-foot trail.
Bhatt's couture saree, crafted by 163 artisans, paid homage to the official dress code for the 2024 Met Gala -- “The Garden of Time."
It featured extensive hand embroidery with silk floss, beads, sequins, and semi-precious. Actress Alia Bhatt was recently spotted wearing a stunning hand-crafted blouse. The blouse was adorned with glass beads and stones and embellished with various precious gemstones such as emeralds, Basra pearls, tourmalines, and multi-coloured sapphires. The designer shared the details of the blouse on their official Instagram page.
To complement the blouse, Bhatt also wore jewellery from Sabyasachi High Jewellery's Bengal Royal Collection, which was studded with diamonds, tourmalines, sapphires, and emeralds.
The 31-year-old actor debuted at the Met Gala in 2023 with a Prabal Gurung gown.
In her Instagram post, Bhatt said the outfit took "a life of its own" as the team created an Indian interpretation of Gala's universal theme.
"Creating this has been quite an experience… fun and stressful in equal parts. It has taken a collective effort of 163 dedicated individuals, including master craftspeople, embroiderers, artists, and dyers, investing a total of 1965 man-hours to create this ethereal saree.
"As I wear this outfit, I feel incredibly grateful to embody this exquisite creation, a testament to boundless love and painstaking effort," the actor wrote while giving a shout-out to her collaborators for the dress.
Designer Mukherjee also made an appearance at the annual fashion extravaganza.
