Alia Bhatt shines at Met Gala 2024 in stunning floral Sabyasachi saree

NEW YORK : It’s that time of the year again when the world’s most elite gather to celebrate fashion’s most prestigious event – the Met Gala. As the clock ticks towards the first Monday of May (early Tuesday in India), the anticipation reaches a fever pitch, and this year’s gala promises to be nothing short of spectacular.

Amidst the flurry of excitement, early A-listers including party czar Anna Wintour, the dazzling Jennifer Lopez, and Bollywood’s very own Alia Bhatt graced the green-tinged carpet, setting the stage for an unforgettable evening.

Alia Bhatt, no stranger to the Met Gala spotlight, made a grand entrance in a breathtaking floral Sabyasachi saree, marking her second appearance at the prestigious event.

With a train that practically engulfed the red carpet, Bhatt’s ensemble was nothing short of show-stopping, capturing the attention of onlookers and photographers alike.

Alia Bhatt marked her Met Gala debut in 2023 with a breathtaking ensemble crafted by Prabal Gurung. Her homage to Karl Lagerfeld in a bespoke white gown, adorned with delicate pearls, captured timeless elegance and garnered widespread acclaim.

But the Met Gala isn’t just about fashion; it’s also about the iconic moments and traditions that make the event truly legendary.

Just a stone’s throw away from the Metropolitan Museum of Art lies the Mark Hotel, the quintessential starting point for many celebrities’ Met Gala preparations, reported People magazine.

From hair and makeup to final fittings, the Mark Hotel buzzes with excitement as stars gear up for the main event.

This year’s Met Gala, themed ‘Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion’, pays homage to centuries of style evolution while celebrating the delicate pieces often overlooked in the fast-paced world of fashion.

It was a call to the Garden of Time – an ode to art and eternity.
