In 2023, Alia Bhatt debuted at the Met Gala as Nepalese-American designer Prabal Gurung's muse. Alia celebrated the ball's theme, 'Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty,' with a gown inspired by the iconic designer's unforgettable Chanel bride collection. The corseted dress in the pristine white shade was a perfect nod to the late designer as the Met Gala celebrated him with an exhibition at The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Alia's ball gown featured hand-embroidered white pearls, a corseted bodice hugging her bust, a layered tulle skirt, a wide U neckline, a plunging back design, and a cinched waistline defining her svelte frame. The floor-sweeping train at the back covering the Met Gala red carpet added the dreamy fairytale aesthetic to the bridal gown. Lastly, she chose embellished gloves, matching diamond earrings, rings, centre-parted half-up half-down hairdo, high heels, subtle smoky eye shadow, kohl-lined eyes, mascara on the lashes, and nude lip shade to round off the look.
