Met Gala 2024: Alia Bhatt’s Saree Wows the Internet—”Eat Up Goras at Their Own Event”
Alia Bhatt’s Stunning Met Gala Return: A Saree Stunner by Sabyasachi
Alia Bhatt made a spectacular return to the Met Gala, marking her second appearance at the prestigious event. This year, she graced the red carpet in a breathtaking Sabyasachi floral saree with an elaborate pallu-train. Alia, who made her Met Gala debut last year, was somewhat of a surprise attendee this time. As her appearance had not been confirmed ahead of the event.
Her unannounced arrival sent the Internet into a frenzy, with fans ecstatic to see her and in awe of her exquisite outfit. A saree on an international red carpet is always a showstopper, and Alia’s look was no exception. Social media was filled with adoration and compliments, with posts on X (formerly Twitter) praising her style. One user wrote, “The saree is ending every Met Gala look out there. Oh Alia Bhatt, you’re so stunning.” Another post read, “A desi woman gonna eat up all the goras at their own event.”
Alia Bhatt’s custom embroidered saree embodied the theme of this year’s Met Gala, “Sleeping Beauty: Reawakening Fashion,” with the dress code “The Garden of Time.” The actress was styled by Anaita Shroff, who accompanied her to the event.
Before her red carpet appearance, Alia Bhatt shared her thoughts on the outfit with Vogue, saying, “The sari’s design, with its translucent, glass-like appearance. Is not just a nod to the ethereal quality of the garden in Ballard’s story, but also a tribute to the exquisite, enduring craft of sari-making.”

Sabyasachi, known for his dedication to bringing old-world charm and modern sophistication together. Seemed like the perfect choice to encapsulate the theme of this year’s Met Gala.”
Alia Bhatt made her Met Gala debut last year in a Prabal Gurung dress. Since then, she’s ventured into Hollywood with her role in the Netflix film Heart Of Stone, starring alongside Gal Gadot.
