Gaurav Gupta Dresses Kiara Advani in Statement Look for Her Powerful Met Gala Debut
The mom-to-be walks the Met Gala 2025 red carpet in a bold black ensemble by Gaurav Gupta, honouring transformation and strength under the theme ‘Tailored for You’.
6 May 2025, New Delhi
Kiara Advani, a Bollywood celebrity, made a spectacular and deeply personal debut at the Met Gala 2025, proudly flaunting her baby bump on the renowned red carpeted stairs of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute in New York City. Draped in a custom-designed black ensemble by acclaimed Indian couturier Gaurav Gupta, Kiara’s appearance not only turned heads but also made a strong cultural and emotional statement.
Becoming the fourth Bollywood actress to grace the prestigious event — after Priyanka Chopra, Deepika Padukone, and Alia Bhatt — Kiara embraced this year’s theme, “Tailored for You,” with a couture piece titled “Bravehearts.” The ensemble was described as a celebration of transformation, individuality, and strength — themes that resonate deeply with her current phase as an artist and an expectant mother.
Kiara explained the significance of her look, saying, “Making my Met Gala debut at this point in my life, as both an artist and a mother-to-be, feels incredibly special.” When my stylist Anaita approached Gaurav, he developed ‘Bravehearts,’ a vision that honors the transformative era I’m entering.” The design, she explained, was a silent tribute to André Leon Talley, a towering figure in fashion known for his uncompromising originality. The actress further explained, “It’s a reminder that everything we do paves the way for the next generation.”
Designed by a Global Icon of Indian Fashion
Designer Gaurav Gupta, no stranger to the Met Gala, is known for his sculptural couture that blends fantasy and structure. He has dressed global icons such as Beyoncé, Kim Kardashian, Shakira, and Mindy Kaling, among others. With Kiara’s look, he once again spotlighted the elegance and innovation of Indian fashion on an international platform.
The outfit — a layered, sharply tailored black piece with draped detailing — merged classic dandyism with a contemporary edge, aligning perfectly with the event’s theme.
A Moment of Indian Pride
Kiara’s debut comes on the heels of Shah Rukh Khan’s historic first appearance at the Met Gala the same evening, making it a double celebration for Indian fans and the global fashion community. Her husband, actor Sidharth Malhotra, accompanied her to New York ahead of the gala, although he did not walk the red carpet.

With her powerful debut, Kiara Advani has not only cemented her place in the global style narrative but has also opened a new chapter for how maternity can be celebrated — with grace, glamour, and unapologetic authenticity.
