In the clip, which has emerged on social media, the mom-to-be is seen munching on a slice of pizza while surrounded by her squad. She flashes a playful smile as she quips, "It's my MET diet”.

Opening up about the look, she said, “My brief to Gaurav was this is the next phase of my life that I want that to be a part of the expression and of this outfit... I love the way we have interpreted the theme and the way it tied up with me doing this for my baby like André Leon Talley paved the way for the next generation”.

During her fitting, Kiara spoke about being pregnant, saying, “I just want to tell you all that after a long time, I know this is my new body, but I am really feeling hot in this new body”.

Kiara’s ensemble featured two hearts linked by a golden chain, representing a mother and child connected through an umbilical cord. Kiara loved the detailing, as she mentioned, "The umbilical cord is actually such a sweet detail.... It’s like saying ‘Hey buddy, you are on the steps of the Met’,” she said in the video, while holding her baby bump.

For her much-anticipated Met Gala debut, Kiara wore a creation by designer Gaurav Gupta, which was titled Bravehearts. In sync with the 2025 MET Gala’s theme Superfine: Tailoring Black Style, the piece features a sculpted gold breastplate, forged into two crystal-encrusted hearts connected by a chain umbilical cord. The look was finished with a double-paneled white cape, a nod to André Leon Talley’s 2010 MET appearance. Anaita Shroff Adajania facilitated the collaboration between Kiara and Gaurav.
