Alia Bhatt is literally going places! Everyone unanimously agrees that Alia Bhatt in saree has always been a sight to behold and she has always managed to look ethereal in the traditional six yards, but this time, in a mint green saree, she just looked magical! She recently stunned the world at the Met Gala 2024 where she appeared in a beautiful saree designed by Sabyasachi. She was also tagged the “most visible attendee” at Met Gala 2024, beating big names like Kim Kardashian and Kendall Jenner.
Why The World is Going Ga-Ga Over Alia Bhatt in Saree?
Alia wore a floral mint green saree with the sleeping beauty theme. The saree was designed by Sabyasachi who himself attended the event. Alia’s saree dress code was “Garden of Time” at Met gala 2024 – an ode to art and eternity. Here’s what she wrote on instagram about her outfit:
“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. 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. We embraced a delicate nostalgia for hair and makeup – an elevated coiffure embellished with intricately woven braids and soft freckles – a homage to time’s gentle caress.
Creating this has been quite an experience… fun and stressful in equal parts. It has taken a collective effort of 163 dedicated individuals, including master craftspeople, embroiderers, artists, and dyers, investing a total of 1965-man hours to create this ethereal saree. As I wear this outfit, I feel incredibly grateful to embody this exquisite creation, a testament to boundless love and painstaking effort. A big thank you to @anaitashroffadajania, @lakshmilehr, @puneetbsaini, @amitthakur_hair, @dolly.jain , and my amazing team for being the most wonderful collaborators through this ‘Garden of Time’. Team work makes the dream work 💫 #MetGala2024 #GardenOfTime”
She wore a 23-feet long saree, which was hand embroidered, embedded with precious stones, beadwork, and fringework. Look at the pics – don’t we just love Alia Bhatt in saree.
Alia Bhatt in an instagram post mentioned that it took “1965” hours and 163 artists who collectively worked on this ethereal saree. Interestingly, celebrity saree draper who charges 2 lakhs per drape, was in Alia Bhatt’s team for met gala. Did you know Dolly Jain holds the guiness world record of draping a saree the fastest.
Did you also see the “kala teeka” behind her ear, apparently, netizens are commenting the “black dot” is to ward off evil eyes. We surely don’t want any negative energy around this gorgeous diva who wowed one and all!
