For the first time ever, Alia Bhatt attends the MET Gala 2023, the biggest fashion event.

Alia walked the red carpet in a magnificent, long-tail white gown. Prabal Gurung, a well-known fashion designer, used 100,000 pearls to create her costume. She wore pearl earrings and a pearl hair clip to secure her half-ponytail. Her dress and the rest of her outfit were well complimented by her accessories.

The Gangubai Kathiawadi actress posted her magnificent red carpet photos to Instagram along with a thoughtful caption that expressed her sentiments and provided details about her stunning outfit.

“Met Gala — Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty,” Bhatt wrote.

The famous Chanel brides have long captivated me. Karl Lagerfeld’s creative brilliance was evident in the most avant-garde and breathtaking couture season after season. This, in particular the 1992 Chanel bridal ensemble worn by supermodel Claudia Schiffer, served as the inspiration for my outfit tonight.

I wanted to create something that was proudly manufactured in India and felt authentic (hello, pearls!). 100,000 pearls were used to create the needlework, a labour of love by @prabalgurung. Wearing you to my first Met makes me incredibly proud.

“One can never have too many pearls on a girl… and the appropriate accessories to complete the look, which in our case meant a pearl hair bow. Oh, and it’s white, for my Choup-ED,” the actress, 30, said.
