Kiara Advani Makes A Maternal Statement In Gaurav Gupta At Met Gala 2025

May 6, 2025: Bollywood star Kiara Advani made her much-anticipated debut at the 2025 Met Gala, turning heads and stirring hearts with a look that blended motherhood, heritage, and high fashion.

Attending the event as a mom-to-be, Kiara proudly showcased her baby bump, becoming the first Indian actress to walk the Met Gala red carpet pregnant—a historic and deeply personal moment.

Kiara chose celebrated Indian designer Gaurav Gupta to bring her vision to life. The result was “Bravehearts”—a couture piece that told a story of strength, transformation, and motherhood. The off-shoulder black gown was paired with a sculptural antique gold breastplate, adorned with ghungroos and crystals. The design featured two symbolic forms—a mother’s heart and a baby’s heart—connected by a chain mimicking an umbilical cord.

Adding grandeur to her ensemble, Kiara draped a double-panelled cape, a nod to the late André Leon Talley, who was known for his love of bold silhouettes. Her accessories were artfully minimal—a single dangler earring, an ear cuff, and a few statement rings provided the perfect balance.

Her beauty look followed suit: peach-toned lips, soft blush, and smokey eyes framed by arched brows and fluttery lashes. Her hair, parted in the middle and softly curled, complemented the ethereal quality of the ensemble.

Speaking about her debut, Kiara said:

“Making my Met Gala debut at this point in my life, as both an artist and mother-to-be feels incredibly special… Gaurav created ‘Bravehearts,’ a vision that honours the transformative phase I’m stepping into… Inspired by the legacy of André Leon Talley, we reflected on what it means to show up with intention, individuality, and strength.”

With her appearance, Kiara Advani not only embraced the theme ‘Tailored for You’ but redefined what it means to show up with grace, purpose, and power.
