Mumbai: Indian Elite Shine at the Met Gala<\/strong><\/p>\n The Met Gala, a highlight of the fashion calendar held at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, showcased India’s corporate stars this year. With a theme celebrating \u201cfashion as art,\u201d the event saw some of Bollywood\u2019s notable figures step out in style, though the representation was less than in previous years.<\/p>\n Notable appearances included billionaire heiresses Isha Ambani, Ananya Birla, and Natasha Poonawalla, who graced the red carpet alongside international celebrities. For Ananya Birla, attending the Met Gala for the first time, her outfit was a creative expression of contrasts. \u201cWe wanted to show how everyday things could be transformed into something amazing. That was the starting point of my look,\u201d she shared.<\/p>\n Birla dazzled in a sharply structured blazer paired with a flowing ballroom skirt by Robert Wun, topped off with a striking headpiece by artist Subodh Gupta, made from everyday items. This unique sculptural mask transformed familiar objects into an extraordinary fashion statement. \u201cIt reflects both my business and music interests. It\u2019s about recognizing beauty in the everyday,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n Natasha Poonawalla brought her own artistic flair with an elegant white dress. Her look featured a custom-made sculpture of a white orchid by Marc Quinn, wrapped around a Dolce & Gabbana design, which she plans to donate back to the museum. \u201cThe orchid symbolizes beauty, resilience, and peace, transcending borders,\u201d she mentioned. \u201cCollaborating with Marc was all about creating art that interacts with the human form, showcasing a blend of cultures and craftsmanship.\u201d<\/p>\n Isha Ambani opted for a graceful handwoven sari by Gaurav Gupta, consisting of pure gold threads, paired with an intricately embellished blouse from her mother\u2019s collection. Completing her outfit with a mango sculpture by Gupta, she certainly embraced the theme in a meaningful way.<\/p>\n Joining the gala as newcomers, businesswoman Sudha Reddy and Jaipur royals Sawai Padmanabh Singh and Gauravi Kumari made a memorable entrance. Gauravi reinvented a vintage pink chiffon sari from her grandmother into a modern gown, paying homage to Jaipur, famously known as the Pink City. \u201cThe experience was surreal, especially enjoying performances and seeing the creative takes on the theme,\u201d she shared.<\/p>\n Mayyur Girotra, a designer and former investment banker from New Delhi, also made his debut by dressing Diya Mehta Jatia, Shloka Ambani’s sister. He aimed to highlight the traditional craft of Shola, which is increasingly rare. \u201cAttending the Met Gala is a validation of sorts, pushing me beyond my limits creatively,\u201d he expressed. \u201cIt’s about creating the best possible garment until the very last moment.\u201d<\/p>\n Meanwhile, filmmaker Karan Johar impressed in a couture outfit inspired by Indian artist Raja Ravi Varma, designed by Manish Malhotra. The evening not only celebrated fashion but also raised funds for the Costume Institute at the Met, solidifying the event\u2019s status as a cultural cornerstone.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Mumbai: Indian Elite Shine at the Met Gala The Met Gala, a highlight of the fashion calendar held at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, showcased India’s corporate stars this year.
