This year, the Met Gala saw a bunch of prominent Indian names put their best fashion foot forward. The gala, which is held annually on the first Monday of May, paid tribute to designer Karl Lagerfeld, this year. Some of the biggest names from the world of fashion and entertainment came dressed to honour the creative genius. Among them was Shloka Mehta's sister Diya Mehta Jatia. Diya, who is a fashion consultant and influencer, picked a green and black ensemble by designer Prabal Gurung for the event. Sharing her images from the prestigious gala, Diya wrote, “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line Of Beauty. At the Met Gala 2023, celebrating the legacy of a man who defined fashion and style as we know today.”
Explaining what it means to represent India at the renowned international event, Diya added: “For me, fashion is all about breaking barriers and blending cultures and today seemed the perfect way to do that! I'm honoured to represent my heritage on this global platform by adding a touch of India to this stunning Prabal Gurung outfit. An unforgettable night of glamour, fashion, and art awaits.” She also added a geotag for New York.
In response to the post, Prabal Gurung said, “Yes,” and added heart emojis. Sara Tendulkar dropped heart-eye emojis.
In addition to her sister Diya, Shloka's sister-in-law Isha Ambani also attended Met Gala 2023. Isha, who is a Met Gala veteran, also picked a Prabal Gurung outfit for the occasion. Images of Isha from the event were shared by the entrepreneur's stylist Priyanka Kapadia. She captioned it, "Isha #Metgala2023. ‘Karl Lagerfeld: A line of beauty'. One of fashion's most prolific contributors, Karl Lagerfeld was paid homage to last night with the idea of a simple, powerful, line. Our vision for Isha's look last night drew from Karl's favourite colour palette with a smattering of pearls in a draped silhouette inspired by the sari from Prabal Gurung's atelier. You can't think of Karl without a touch of humour, we dug into Isha's Chanel archives and found the perfect companion for the look in a mini bag from the 2012 Paris Bombay collection. Lorraine Schwartz put together an exquisite array of diamonds including a custom handpiece. New York in May is a vibe."
Other Indian celebrities at the Met Gala this year included Bollywood stars Alia Bhatt, Priyanka Chopra, and businesswoman-philanthropist Natasha Poonawalla.
