Actor Alia Bhatt, who made her second Met Gala appearance on May 7 in New York, was reportedly the 'most visible' celebrity at the event.
According to a report by the influencer marketing platform Lefty, Alia and Sabyasachi surpassed the biggest celebrities, influencers, and brands in visibility. Alia Bhatt outshone Kendall Jenner (2), Kylie Jenner (3), Kim Kardashian (5), and even Doja Cat in her towel (15).
Sabyasachi surpassed Burberry and even Oscar de la Renta.
In her second appearance at the prestigious fashion gala held annually at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art, the actor shone with her elegant saree, which boasted a 30-foot trail.
Bhatt's couture saree, created by 163 artisans, was a tribute to the official dress code for the 2024 Met Gala – The Garden of Time.
The saree featured intricate hand embroidery with silk floss, beads, sequins, semi-precious stones, and fringed with glass beads. The hand-crafted blouse was adorned with emeralds, Basra pearls, tourmalines, and multi-colored sapphires, according to the designer's official Instagram page.
To complement the attire, Bhatt wore the Bengal Royal collection from Sabyasachi High Jewellery, embellished with tourmalines, sapphires, emeralds, and diamonds. The 31-year-old actor had debuted at the Met Gala in 2023 wearing a Prabal Gurung gown.
In an Instagram post, Bhatt said the outfit took ‘a life of its own’ as the team went about creating 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.
