NEW DELHI, MAY 5 : “Over 1800 carats of diamonds, alongside emeralds, polki and kundan, are embedded into the garment (the blouse), transforming it into a living surface of inheritance and form,” designer Gaurav Gupta wrote in an Instagram post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But that is not where the details of Ambani\u2019s latest striking Met Gala look end. Along with her stunning saree and jewels, she also carried a piece of art to the red carpet, a mango sculpture by Subodh Gupta in a crochet bag. The sculpture was not only a nod to India\u2019s heritage but also a literal embodiment of art in hand, perfectly complementing this year\u2019s \u2018Fashion is Art\u2019 theme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Subodh Gupta is a renowned Indian contemporary artist known for transforming everyday objects like utensils and food into striking large-scale artworks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Adding more Indian touches to her Met Gala look, Ambani also embraced a gajra-inspired sculpture in her hair. The accessory was an artistic reinterpretation of the traditional mogra gajra, handcrafted using paper, copper and brass by Brooklyn-based artist Sourabh Gupta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Isha Ambani set the India-forward tone early with her appearance in an exquisite bandage dress that quite literally mapped India at a pre-Met Gala bash in New York City on May 1. The dress was made using 26 different kinds of borders, each representing a distinct region and craft of India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Over the last three years, Ambani has consistently worn Indian designers at the Met Gala. In 2024, she chose a floral gown by Rahul Mishra. The previous year, she wore an androgynous ensemble by Anamika Khanna. And this year, she continued the streak in this regal Gaurav Gupta X Swadesh saree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
