The Met Gala 2024 was not just a showcase of high fashion and glamour but also a platform for unexpected stars to emerge. We witnessed a stunning array of Indian celebrities gracing the red carpet with their exquisite style and grace. These luminaries not only showcased their impeccable fashion sensibilities but also represented the vibrant spirit of India on the global stage, making a memorable impact at the prestigious event.
Mona Patel
Mona Patel, a fashion enigma whose presence at the event sparked intrigue and admiration.
In a nude-hued gown adorned with a meticulously crafted corset, Mona Patel made a grand entrance onto the Met Gala red carpet. The ornate detailing of her gown, paired with a scalloped train cascading down The Met steps, epitomized elegance and sophistication.
However, it was the kaleidoscope of kinetic butterflies adorning her arms like opera gloves that truly set her apart. These mechanical accessories, named “ASURA,” were the brainchild of metalsmith Casey Curran, who spent a month crafting them for the occasion.
The slow-motion fluttering of the faux wildlife added a mesmerizing touch to Patel’s ensemble, perfectly aligning with the night’s theme, “The Garden of Time.” Completing her look was a chic bun meticulously styled by celebrity stylist Chris Martin and flawless makeup executed by haute cosmetologist Sidney Jamila. Patel’s glamorously grand entrance onto the Met Gala stage was a testament to her multi-hyphenate status as a fashionista.
Sabyasachi Mukherjee
The Met Gala 2024 saw a historic moment as renowned Indian fashion designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee became the first of his kind to grace the prestigious event’s carpet. Sharing his anticipation and excitement, Sabyasachi offered a sneak peek into his Met Gala ensemble on his Instagram handle, setting the stage for a truly unforgettable evening.
Draped in an exquisite embroidered duster coat from his own Sabyasachi Resort 2024 collection, Sabyasachi made a statement of sophistication and artistry. His ensemble, meticulously crafted with intricate detailing, showcased the timeless elegance that has become synonymous with the Sabyasachi brand. Complementing his attire were dazzling accessories adorned with tourmalines, pearls, emeralds, and diamonds from the Sabyasachi High Jewellery line, adding a touch of opulence to his ensemble.
Alia Bhatt
Joining Sabyasachi on the Met Gala red carpet was Indian actress Alia Bhatt, who radiated charm and grace in a stunning Sabyasachi Mukherjee saree. The intricately hand-crafted saree, a masterpiece that required 1965 man hours and the expertise of 163 skilled artisans, captured the essence of Indian craftsmanship and tradition.
Alia’s choice of attire served as a fitting tribute to the theme of the evening, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” with its nod to “The Garden of Time.”
In the lead-up to the gala, a behind-the-scenes glimpse provided by Vogue magazine showcased the collaborative effort between Sabyasachi, celebrity stylist Anaita Shroff Adajania, and their teams of talented artists as they meticulously prepared Alia’s look. With every detail carefully curated, from hair and makeup to accessories, Alia epitomized elegance and sophistication as she stepped onto the Met Gala red carpet.
Isha Ambani
Isha Ambani‘s presence at the 2024 Met Gala was nothing short of captivating. Opting for an elegant couture sari gown by Indian designer Rahul Mishra, Isha exuded grace and sophistication on the red carpet.
The gown featured a stunning long floral train, beautifully crafted to reflect the essence of the night’s theme, “The Garden of Time.” Styled by the talented Anaita Shroff Adajania, Isha’s ensemble showcased the intricate hand-embroidery crafted at Rahul Mishra’s workshops across various Indian villages, highlighting the rich heritage of Indian craftsmanship.
Elevating her look further, Isha accessorized with a clutch crafted by Swadesh using ancient Indian art forms of Nakashi and Miniature Painting, adding a touch of cultural significance to her ensemble. With her impeccable style and commitment to promoting Indian craftsmanship, Isha Ambani emerged as a beacon of elegance and cultural pride at the Met Gala.

The exquisite gown, with its sculptural details and intricate craftsmanship, epitomized Gupta’s signature style, elevating Kaling’s red carpet look to new heights. Notably, this isn’t the first time Kaling has dazzled in Gupta’s creations; previously, Aishwarya Rai had also adorned one of his custom-made designs, a queen pink sculpted creation, during the Cannes Film Festival in 2022.
Kaling’s affinity for Gupta’s designs further solidifies his reputation as a designer of choice for Hollywood’s elite, while also showcasing the global appeal of Indian fashion on the international stage.
