The Met Gala is one of the biggest fashion events in the world, and this year, Bollywood star Kiara Advani made her grand debut on the blue carpet. The theme for the 2025 Met Gala was “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” and Kiara’s outfit caught everyone’s attention in the best way possible. Her look even reminded people of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s stunning black and gold gown at the Cannes Film Festival a few years ago.
Kiara became the first Indian actress to walk the Met Gala carpet while pregnant. She wore a custom outfit designed by famous Indian designer Gaurav Gupta. Her gown was not just stylish—it had deep meaning too. She wore a black dress with a gold breastplate, decorated with tiny bells called ghungroos and shining crystals. What made the outfit really special was the design that showed two hearts—one for the mother and one for the baby—joined by a chain that looked like an umbilical cord. It was a beautiful way to show the bond between a mother and her unborn child.

Both Kiara and Aishwarya chose black and gold outfits for their red carpet appearances—Kiara at the Met Gala and Aishwarya at Cannes. But their looks were very different. Kiara’s outfit felt romantic and emotional, showing love and softness. On the other hand, Aishwarya’s look felt strong and bold, like a warrior queen.
Looking more closely at Kiara’s gown, she wore an off-shoulder black dress that looked powerful but also soft. It had Gaurav Gupta’s special design touch. As she walked, the dress flowed behind her with a long white train with black borders, adding even more style.
Her look also gave a special nod to André Leon Talley, a legendary fashion editor and important figure in Black fashion history. Kiara wore a dramatic cape with two panels to honor his memory.
Celebrity stylist Anaita Shroff Adajania helped Kiara with the entire look. Kiara wore big ear cuffs and rings to match the outfit. Her hair was softly curled and twisted, very similar to Aishwarya Rai’s hairstyle. Her natural makeup kept the focus on the dress and the gold details. Everything together made her look powerful, graceful, and full of meaning.
Kiara Advani’s debut at the Met Gala was more than just a fashion moment—it was a touching tribute to motherhood, Indian design, and personal strength.
