Kiara Advani Dazzles at MET Gala 2025, Celebrating Motherhood in Gaurav Gupta Creation
Kiara Advani turned heads at the 2025 Met Gala , not just for her fashion-forward look but for the story it told. Marking her debut at fashion’s biggest night, she became the first Indian actress to proudly flaunt her baby bump on the iconic Met steps - wrapped in a masterpiece by designer Gaurav Gupta .
A Gown That Told a Story
Kiara’s ensemble wasn’t just couture - it was a canvas. Named Bravehearts, the sculptural gown celebrated femininity, transformation, and cultural identity. Featuring an antique gold breastplate embellished with crystals and tiny ghungroos, the outfit captured both heritage and modernity in one breathtaking frame. 
Two heart motifs - Mother Heart and Baby Heart - were linked by a delicate chain umbilical cord, subtly narrating the emotional journey Kiara is stepping into as a mother.
Designed for the Moment
The theme for the evening, Tailored for You, tied into the Superfine: Tailoring Black Style exhibit, spotlighting Black creativity in fashion. Kiara’s look paid quiet tribute to the legendary fashion icon André Leon Talley with a sweeping, double-panelled cape - a nod to his larger-than-life presence and trailblazing influence. She said, “Showing up at the Met Gala at this stage in my life - as an artist and a mother-to-be - felt incredibly personal. Gaurav’s vision was to create something that reflects the strength of transformation, and he did exactly that.”
Indian Roots, Global Language
Styled by Anaita Shroff Adajania, Kiara’s Met Gala appearance was a proud fusion of Indian craftsmanship and global symbolism. It wasn’t just about fashion - it was about stepping into a new role with intention and grace. “Inspired by André’s legacy, this look is a quiet reminder that how we show up today shapes what’s possible for tomorrow,” she shared.
