The floral saree features beautifully beaded tassels on the borders, a ruffled pleat, and a tulle bow detail on the back.
Sharing details about her Met Gala look, Alia took to Instagram and posted a long note. “It was a call to the Garden of Time - an ode to art and eternity.Timelessness is endless, and we acknowledge that things crafted with time and care, can last forever. In our journey for an Indian interpretation of this universal theme, the outfit took on a life of its own,” the post read.
“Nothing embodies tradition and innovation like the saree; in the skilled hands of @sabyasachiofficial, this vision found its fullest expression. We looked to the past as a guide for the future, drawing inspiration from the timeless sophistication of Indian nobility. We focused on intricate craftsmanship, incorporating hand embroidery, precious stones, along with elegant beadwork and fringes, distinctive of the 1920’s fringe style. Our colour palette pays homage to nature’s beauty, echoing the earth, sky, and sea,” she added.
On the work front, Alia Bhatt is gearing up for her upcoming film, ‘Jigra’, directed by Vasan Bala. The film is set to hit theatres on September 27.
