Alia Bhatt Dazzles at Met Gala 2024 in Sabyasachi Saree

Actress Alia Bhatt made a stunning appearance at the Met Gala 2024, wearing a custom-made floral saree by the renowned designer Sabyasachi. The saree featured intricate hand embroidery and an extravagant train, perfectly encapsulating the evening's "Garden of Time" theme.

However, during a red carpet interview, Alia Bhatt mistakenly quoted the number of hours it took to create the ensemble. In the video, which was shared on X (formerly known as Twitter), Alia mentioned that the creation required 1,905 man-hours and the collaboration of 163 craftsmen, embroiderers, and other artisans. Despite her caution to get the numbers right, she inadvertently misquoted the time required for the outfit's creation.

Later, Alia Bhatt shared a detailed post on Instagram that corrected the error, revealing that the actual number of man-hours was 1,965. In the post, Alia expressed her gratitude to the entire team involved in the creation of the saree, acknowledging the hard work and dedication that went into crafting the exquisite garment. The post also highlighted the craftsmanship of Sabyasachi's team and credited key collaborators like Anaita Shroff Adajania, Lakshmi Lehr, Puneet B Saini, Amit Thakur, and Dolly Jain for their contributions to her Met Gala look.

Alia Bhatt's choice of a saree was inspired by the event's theme, showcasing a timeless design that resonated with the "Garden of Time." The Met Gala red carpet appearance garnered much attention and praise, with many admiring the craftsmanship and unique interpretation of the evening's dress code.

Despite the slight misquote, Alia Bhatt's appearance at the Met Gala was a standout moment, celebrating the beauty and elegance of traditional Indian craftsmanship on an international stage. The detailed embroidery and meticulous design of the saree captivated attendees and viewers alike, reaffirming Alia's status as a style icon.
