The theme of this year’s Met Gala was a beautiful tribute to Karl Lagerfield: A Line Of Beauty. The late designer was considered an icon in the fashion industry, with his sometimes boundary-pushing designs, he was loved by many.
These 5 Indian celebrities Met Gala looks truly stood out for us for more than one reason. For starters, the representation of South Asian women & beauty standards at mainstream events, followed by the versatility in Fashion designers showcasing; topped off by some truly daring looks.
From Alia Bhatt’s debut, to Priyanka Chopa Jonas’ inspiration & Mindy Kaling’s monochromatic look – let’s take a closer look.
Priyanka Chopra Jonas is a seasoned star when it comes to the Met Gala 2023, and this year she was joined once again by her beau, Nick Jonas, at the annual Met Gala event; where they first met back in 2017.
This year, the celeb opted for a stunning monochromatic strapless Maison Valentino gown with complimentary cape & gloves. For her beauty, she opted for a timeless classic with her rosy pink cheeks & lips and classic winged liner. Her makeup artist, Sarah Tanno, championed the quote by Karl Lagerfield himself “I love classic beauty. It’s an idea of beauty with no standard.”
Her look was paired with a gorgeous woven chain necklace with a blue crystal pendant, and some high black platform heels. A standout moment for Priyanka was definitely the top knot, intricately curated to mimic a bow. What are your thoughts?
The beautiful couple definitely looked in love throughout the event, and we definitely think this was an on-theme ensemble.
Making her Met Gala debut this year, we saw Alia Bhatt’s glamorous inspired look in true fairytale fashion. The star wore n incredible princess-style pearl-embellished gown, paired with unique bejewelled gloves. Pearls & gloves were two of Karl Lagerfield’s statement fashion pieces, and the two perfectly compemented each other in this look.
Alia wore custom Prabal Gurung Couture, and similar to Priyanka, opted for a ‘less is more’ hair & makeup look. With her blush look & girl-next-door middle parted hair, Alia embodied the perfect classic Karl Lagerfield bride in her tribute.
Alia is already receiving tons of compliments from around the world, noticing that her entire look was on-theme and absolutely stunning. Some compared her look to Dua Lipa, and went one stop further to say Alia wore it better.
Another seasoned Met Gala attendee is the business women & socialise Isha Ambani. She had heads turning in a beautiful satin & ombre embellished satin saree-gown by the talented designer Prabal Gurung. The look adorned thousands of pearls and crystals, in true Ambani fashion.
Ambani has often worn Christian Dior in all of her other Met Gala looks, since her debut in 2017, so it was definitely a refreshing change to see Isha in a different style.
For her beauty, we saw the classic dewy Isha Ambani hair & makeup look that we know & love. Her clutch of choice pulled the whole look together in a beautiful homage.
In case we didn’t know it already, Mindy Kaling has once again proved the versatility of corsets & we absolutely love it. The actor-producer opted for a silver corseted gown by Sima Khai, with a fitted chic bodice. We are obsessed with the varying textures & embellishments on this outfit. Our favourite part of her look has to be the subtle teardrop feather effect.
Her jewellery was minimal, yet very statement, with Kwiat pear shape and Ashoka cut diamond jewels. A slightly more dramatic makeup-look from Mindy, with a smokey eye, warm lip and chic sleek-style long ponytail, in true Karl Lagerfield style. The dramatic beauty didn’t take away from the outfit, and was the perfect combination.
In her 4th year attending, and as the philanthropist who champions art through expression in her line of work, Natasha Poonawalla pulled out all the stops for this creative & dazzling look. She opted for a structured silver mirror-effect gown, with two pointed edges. Similar to the outfit, her makeup look was much more of a dramatic wing than the other celebs, and she did the entire look justice with her strut of confidence. The power pose, the slick-back ponytail – we love it all.
