Alia Bhatt steals the show 100,000 Pearls..!!!
Alia Bhatt shared a breakdown of her Met Gala debut outfit, a pearl-encrusted white ballgown by Prabal Gurung, on Monday. This year's Met Gala is a celebration to fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld, and the red carpet was covered in pearls, white, and black, all Lagerfeld signatures. Alia's white dress was inspired by a 1992 bridal ensemble that Karl Lagerfeld designed for Chanel that Claudia Schiffer modelled. Alia's first Met Gala ensemble, which also paid homage to Karl Lagerfeld's and her own cats, was made with 100,000 pearls.
I have always been attracted by the legendary Chanel brides, alia bhatt stated in her blog post. Karl Lagerfeld's creative brilliance was evident in the most avant-garde and breathtaking couture season after season. This, in particular the 1992 Chanel bridal ensemble worn by supermodel Claudia Schiffer, served as the inspiration for my outfit tonight. I wanted to create something that was proudly manufactured in india and felt authentic (hello, pearls!). 100,000 pearls were used to create the needlework, which was a labour of love for Prabal Gurung. I feel very accomplished wearing you to my first Met. A female can never have too many pearls, as well as the appropriate accessories to complete the look, in our case my hair's pearl bow.
