The Met Gala is an annual fundraising event for the benefit of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute in New York City. The event is usually held on the first Monday in May and is considered to be one of the most prestigious and star-studded events in the fashion calendar. The Met Gala is attended by celebrities, fashion industry insiders, and cultural icons, who dress according to a specific theme that is chosen each year by the Costume Institute. The event features a red-carpet entrance, cocktail hour, dinner, and a performance or special exhibition. The Met Gala is known for its high fashion and avant-garde outfits, and has been described as the "Oscars of the fashion world".

The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City has begun the 2023 Met Gala red carpet. The annual event this year honours the exhibition "Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty." The evening will raise funds for The Met's Costume Institute while paying tribute to the late designer Karl Lagerfeld, who oversaw brands including Chanel, Fendi, and his own namesake line. Of course, the star-studded red-carpet extravaganza that will take place when guests ascend the famed Met steps is just as significant as the exhibition. It's none other than the gorgeous Alia Bhatt who gets things started. The Bollywood actress attends the Met Gala for the first time this year, and she wears a stunning outfit.

Prabal Gurung was Alia's choice for the iconic moment on the stairs of the Metropolitan Art Museum in New York. Supermodel Claudia Schiffer's 1992 Chanel bridal outfit in particular served as an inspiration for Alia's appearance. In an all-white outfit, the diva looked lovely and as though she had just left a book of fairy tales. The Prabal Gurung dress featured a fitted bodice, a full skirt, and a total of one lakh white pearls. It was sleeveless. She added shine with pointed pearl and stone earrings and a white glove as acces’ories. A girl can never have too many pearls, and the ideal accessories to complete the outfit, which in Alia’s case meant a pearl bow in her hair.

Alia chose a half-up, half-down hairstyle with a centre part and bronze-toned makeup with rosy accents on her cheeks and a nude lip as a finishing touch. Alia nailed the high notes with this one, keeping things understated and safe while yet looking utterly stunning.
