Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt made her first appearance at the MET Gala 2023 on May 1. The actress wore a Prabal Gurung creation for the event, which was an ode to the late designer Karl Lagerfeld. The actress walked the carpet in full confidence and was joined by Gurung at every step of the way.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art released an inside video where celebrities were seen looking at the Karl Lagerfeld exhibit. Alia Bhatt was seen along with designer Prabal Gurung, Penelope Cruz, Sydney Sweeney, Kristen Stewart, Emily Ratajkowski, Emily Blunt, Gisele Bundchen and Usher in the video. The Met captioned the post as, “Art imitating life or life imitating art? Did you know: During the Met Gala, guests are invited to explore the Costume Institute exhibition — this year that’s “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty,” on view through July 15. A Line Of Beauty.”

For the event, Prabal Gurung was Alia's choice for the iconic moment on the stairs of the Metropolitan Art Museum in New York. Supermodel Claudia Schiffer's 1992 Chanel bridal outfit in served as an inspiration for Alia's appearance. The Prabal Gurung sleeveless dress featured a fitted bodice, a full skirt, and a total of one lakh white pearls. She added shine with pointed pearl and stone earrings and a white glove as accessories. Alia chose a half-up, half-down hairstyle with a centre part and bronze-toned makeup with rosy accents on her cheeks and a nude lip as a finishing touch. Alia nailed the high notes with this one, keeping things understated and safe while yet looking utterly stunning.

“We’ve talked about a Met moment for a long time. I have invited her before, but she’s always been wise enough to say let’s wait. This time, however, she felt it was the right moment, so she said yes, and off we went to our wildest imaginations…,” Prabal Gurung captioned his Instagram post.

He added, "It was my dearest friend Karan Johar’s 40th birthday in Mumbai, where I first met Alia. ⁠I had heard rave reviews about her through him and my brother Pravesh, who was assisting Karan in her debut film. I was immediately taken by her when I met her. A petite ingénue whose simmering fire within her was palpable to all of us. One film after another, she has surpassed anyone’s expectations and thrilled us with her creative genius. She’s a powerhouse performer. To me, she is one of the finest actors we have right now globally, but above all, she’s a friend, a good friend, and a loyal one; that’s what makes her extremely special."

Gurung added, “For me, Chanel couture brides have been the most iconic brides in fashion. So we chose Claudia Schiffer’s 1992 Chanel bridal look as an inspiration.”

Calling Alia Bhatt a “generous, kind soul and heart,” he said, “Alia, forever grateful we will have this for posterity. Thank you for the beautiful memory. Been a fan of your talent for the longest time and of your generous, kind soul and heart; a grateful friend.”

On the professional front, the year 2022 was a landmark year for her with Gangubai Kathiawadi, RRR and Brahmastra becoming the biggest blockbusters and the acclaimed Darlings, which was her maiden production venture.

Moving forward, Alia Bhatt has an exciting year ahead with the release of Netflix’s Heart of Stone with Gal Gadot and Jamie Dornan. She also has Karan Johar's Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani. The film stars Ranveer Singh, Dharmendra, Jaya Bachchan and Shabana Azmi. ALSO READ: Alia Bhatt ‘thanks’ Vivek Agnihotri after the filmmaker gushes about her MET Gala look
