Karl Lagerfeld had designed Claudia Schiffer's dress. According to Prabal, Alia's Met Gala outfit was hand-embroidered in India on silk tulle and made at Atelier Prabal Gurung in New York.

On the work front, Alia Bhatt will soon make her debut in Hollywood alongside Gal Gadot and Jamie Dornan in Netflix's spy thriller Heart of Stone. It will mark her first American film release.
