Kiara Advani made a stunning and symbolic debut at the 2025 Met Gala, radiating elegance and strength in a Gaurav Gupta couture gown. The mommy-to-be proudly flaunted her baby bump on the blue carpet, fully embracing this year’s theme: “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style”, with the dress code “Tailored for You.” Her look was a powerful nod to “Black Dandyism” with a modern Indian twist.
The Gown: A Tribute to Motherhood and Femininity
Titled Bravehearts, Kiara’s gown celebrated transformation, lineage, and femininity. The structural masterpiece featured an antique gold breastplate shaped like a heart, adorned with crystals and traditional ghungroos. A second smaller heart at the waist symbolized the bond between mother and child, connected with a chain umbilical cord—beautifully narrating Kiara’s journey into motherhood. Styled by Anaita Shroff Adajania, the look was both artistic and emotionally resonant.
Comparisons with Aishwarya Rai’s Cannes Look
Soon after Kiara’s Met Gala appearance, netizens began comparing her look to Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s outfit from the 77th Cannes Film Festival. Aishwarya’s corseted black and white gown by Falguni Shane Peacock also featured dramatic gold detailing. A Reddit user even shared a side-by-side, noting the resemblance, while others debated the similarities. Some felt Kiara’s look was more polished, while others criticized her for not fully embracing the Met Gala theme.
