Actor Alia Bhatt Makes Her Met Gala Debut

Alia Bhatt arrived in style at the 2023 Met Gala on Monday night, accompanied by designer Prabal Gurung, wearing a stunning custom gown created by him. The "Gangubai Kathiawadi" actress looked regal in the ensemble which boasted a corseted bodice with a rounded neckline, covered in intricately embroidered pearls. The dress then flowed into a rounded layered skirt with a train, with the pearls adding an intricate finish to the outfit.

Bhatt's accessories were minimal yet elegant, with pearl and diamond drop earrings, a diamond knuckle ring, and a single white fingerless glove, also trimmed in pearls, adding a touch of sophistication to the ensemble. The pieces paid homage to Lagerfeld, who often used white as one of his signature colors and incorporated pearls into his Chanel designs.

While the actor's footwear wasn't visible, it was likely that she wore a pair of pointed-toe pumps or heeled sandals that matched or complemented her dress, as she has done in the past.

The Met Gala is a fundraising event for the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City and celebrates the Costume Institute's annual exhibitions. This year's theme, "Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty," honored the life and career of the designer. The 2023 event was co-chaired by Dua Lipa, Roger Federer, Michaela Coel, Penelope Cruz, and Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour.
