The outfit featured a structured black jacket with a dramatic pep- lum and a voluminous pleated skirt, giving it a strong, sculpted silhouette. The most eye-catching element of the look was the metallic face mask made using stainless steel. The piece covered her face completely, turning the look into something both powerful and mysterious. She completed the look with jewellery fromMehta & Sons, along with a personal necklace. SUDHA REDDY Reddy wore an ensemble titled ‘The Tree of Life’, which drew from the traditional Kalamkari art form from South India. The outfit was created over 3,459 hours by more than 90 artisans and brought together several handwork techniques. The design was inspired by the Machilipatnam style of Kalamkari, known for its hand-painted details and use of natural dyes. The ‘Tree of Life’ motif formed the core of the outfit, symbolising growth and connection. The look also included elements linked to Telangana, such as the Palapitta bird, Jammi Chettu tree and Tangedu flower, along with symbols like the Sun and Moon. The outfit featured a structured silhouette in deep blue tones, detailed with gold embroidery across fab- rics like velvet, silk and tulle. A long trail and a sheer cape added to the look, while a hand-crafted metal installation at the back completed the design. DIYA MEHTA JATIA Diya’s Met Gala outing turned out to be an inspira- tion fromWest Bengal’s Shola work, which she turned into an architectural ornament placed on exquisite Kanjivaram fabric. MONA PATEL Channelling Leonardo da Vinci at the Met Gala, Mona Patel collaborated with Dolce & Gabbana Alta Moda to design her custom look as a couture composi- tion in two interdependent movements. The outer layer, called the “Veil of Genius”, was envisioned as a drifting manuscript of da Vinci’s sketches, whereas the “Anato- my of Genius” takes form as an ivory sculptural gown with hand-pleated chiffon engineered to suggest muscle and fascia, a hand-sewn spine in silk, circulatory vessels in gold tubogas, and neural synapses as diamonds down the sleeves. The Met Gala, held annually on the first Monday in May, is arguably one of the most coveted and exclusive tickets in the world. For one spectacular night, a select group of global elite–including Hollywood royalty, influ- ential politicians, chart-topping musicians, and cultural power players–ascends the museum steps. The event is a dramatic spectacle where guests peacock their most ambitious, often boundary-pushing, interpretations of the year’s theme, as per Deadline. -ANI PHOTO: COURTESY ANI Sawai Padmanabh Singh PHOTO:REUTERS Manish Malhotra @the Met.
