Met Gala 2025: When Indian Celebs Turned the Red Carpet into a Royal Runway
Theme of the Year: “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” Translation: Dig up vintage, look dramatic, and pray your train doesn’t trip a Kardashian.
1. Alia Bhatt – Princess Aurora, but Make It Sabyasachi
Alia arrived floating in a pastel pink Sabyasachi creation, looking like she stepped out of a Mughal miniature… and into a Vogue fantasy. Critics called it “ethereal,” fans called it “goals,” and Ranbir probably said, “Arrey wah, looks expensive.”
Her cape was longer than an IRCTC waitlist, but she glided with the calm of someone who knows her lehenga costs more than your Maruti Swift.
2. Deepika Padukone – Barbie Meets Bharatnatyam
Deepika’s custom Gaurav Gupta gown screamed high fashion with a side of “don’t mess with me, I’ve trained in sword fighting for Padmaavat.” A dramatic fan-like shoulder piece reminded everyone that if Bollywood ever remakes Black Swan, she’s booked.
Her accessories? Earrings that could deflect negativity and trolls in one swing.
3. Priyanka Chopra – Still Owning America (and Nick Jonas)
Our very own Desi Girl turned Global Queen arrived in a look that said, “I’m the theme.” Draped in a celestial Rahul Mishra ensemble embroidered with thousands of hand-beaded constellations, she brought Indian craftsmanship to the galaxy.
Nick, by contrast, wore a black suit, proving once again that husbands are props—expensive, well-dressed props.
