Kiara Advani’s gold breastplate featured two symbolic forms — Mother Heart and Baby Heart — linked by a chain umbilical cord.
Kiara Advani attended the 2025 Met Gala celebrating Superfine: Tailoring Black Style at Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 05, 2025 in New York City.
Kiara Advani looked mesmerising in Gaurav Gupta couture at MET Gala 2025. Flaunting her baby bump as she walked up the iconic Metropolitan Museum of Art stairs, Kiara embraced the ‘Tailored For You’ dress code by celebrating her cultural roots and her personal evolution.
Embracing motherhood and artistry in her MET Gala debut ensemble, Kiara Advani is the first Indian actress to grace the iconic MET stairs with her baby bump. A tribute to femininity, lineage and transformation, Kiara’s ensemble titled Bravehearts was more than fashion. Crafted with Gaurav’s signature sculptural precision, the gown featured an antique gold breastplate adorned with ghungroos and crystals.
The creation resonated with two symbolic forms—Mother Heart and Baby Heart and were linked by a chain umbilical cord, visually narrating the beautiful bond of motherhood, which Kiara will soon experience.
Speaking about her Met Gala debut, Kiara Advani says, “Making my Met Gala debut at this point in my life, as both an artist and mother-to-be feels incredibly special. When my stylist, Anaita [Shroff Adajania], approached Gaurav to design my look, he created ‘Bravehearts’, a vision that honours the transformative phase I’m stepping into, connecting it beautifully to this year’s dress code ‘Tailored for You.’.”
Celebrating the undeniable impact of Black creativity on fashion and culture for centuries. The dress code for the evening was Tailored for You, which was a nod to the Superfine: Tailoring Black Style exhibition. Kiara Advani’s MET Gala debut look paid homage to the late André Leon Talley, legendary fashion editor and Black icon, through a dramatic double-panelled cape—a nod to his iconic silhouettes and influence on the fashion world.
Kiara further added, “Inspired by the legacy of André Leon Talley, we reflected on what it means to show up with intention, individuality, and strength. This is a silent tribute to that — it’s a reminder that everything we do paves the way for the next generation.”
By blending Indian craftsmanship with global symbolism, Kiara’s appearance was both a personal milestone and a powerful cultural statement. Representing Indian couture with pride, she redefined what it means to walk the MET steps—not just as a celebrity, but as a woman embracing her power, identity, and future. A stunning chapter in her ever-evolving journey.
