Alia Bhatt Steals Attention with a Stunning Sabyasachi Saree: At the 2024 Met Gala, which featured lavish fashion, celebrities competed to convey the theme of the year, “The Garden of Time.” However, amid the dresses and feathers, one guest stood out for her classic and glamorous look: Bollywood’s rising queen, Alia Bhatt, grabbed attention with her stunning Sabyasachi saree.
Alia made a daring and surprising choice when she decided to wear a saree. Traditional Indian clothing is uncommon at the Met Gala, while Western gowns are frequently seen there. Indian audiences found great resonance in this decision, viewing it as a worldwide celebration of their cultural legacy.
The saree was a masterpiece of design within itself. The famous Indian designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee designed it, and it was a vision of mint green with delicate flower embroidery. The unique piece, which took around 2000 hours to complete and was reputedly crafted by over 160 artisans, brilliantly captured the essence of the “Garden of Time” theme.
In an interview with Vogue, Alia explained her decision by saying, “I felt that the dress code for ‘The Garden of Time’ needed something enduring, and there’s nothing more traditional than a saree.” She continued, saying that she was proud to present Indian artwork, saying, “It’s a celebration of heritage and incredible craftsmanship.”
Alia Surprises the Crowd
Alia made an outstanding entry on the red carpet. International media screamed for her presence, calling her name while she posed for pictures. X (Twitter) users praised Alia Bhatt for her classy and culturally relevant choice, with the hashtag #AliaBhatt trending heavily.
Alia’s Second Met Gala
Alia had already graced the Met Gala red carpet. She had an amazing debut in a white Prabal Gurung gown in 2023. But her choice of saree this year was a major change, showcasing her ability to meld global fashion trends with her traditional roots.
