MET Gala 2024: Alia Bhatt Dazzles In A Hand-Embroidered Custom Sabyasachi Saree With Massive Train

As for her look, Alia looked lovely in the Sabyasachi saree in a soft pastel green palette, and accentuated her look with Sabyasachi jewellery. Her outfit featured a massive train that graced the entire red carpet, and boasted of an intricate floral pattern, sweetheart neckline blouse with multicoloured floral theme. 

Interestingly, the hand-embroidered saree took around 1,905 man-hours to craft, and had been made by 163 skilled craftsmen. Alia's look was styled by Anita Shroff Adajania, with makeup by Puneet Saini and hair by Amit Thakur. 

Speaking at the event about her look, Alia Bhatt told Vogue, “I’m feeling great. I’m feeling very excited. Months of preparation, lots of conversations and all builds up to this one moment. It’s so surreal but it’s also very special. It’s my second time at the Met, but my first time wearing a saree. When I thought of the dress code, ‘Garden of Time’, I felt it needed something timeless and there’s nothing timeless than a saree.”

Ahead of her red carpet appearance, Alia teased her fans as she posed a stunning photo from behind, without revealing any details, and captioned it as, “Met Gala 2024.”

Meanwhile, on the work front, Alia will next be seen in ‘Jigra’, which is directed by Vasan Bala and jointly produced by Alia and Karan Johar. She will also feature in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Love and War’ alongside Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal.
