Bollywood’s glam queen Kiara Advani is about to make waves on the world’s most prestigious red carpet. The mom-to-be is all set to make her Met Gala debut on May 5, 2025, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York — a moment that’s shaping up to be one of the most talked-about fashion events of the year.
Kiara’s Met moment comes hot on the heels of another major life update — in February, the star revealed that she and husband Sidharth Malhotra are expecting their first child. And now, she’s ready to take on the global fashion stage while embracing motherhood in full glow.
This isn’t Kiara’s first international style triumph. Last year, she stunned at the Cannes Red Carpet, making a grand entrance at the Red Sea Film Foundation’s Women in Cinema Gala Dinner. Draped in a pink-and-black Old Hollywood-inspired gown by Nedret Taciroglu, complete with romantic lace details, she owned the night and signaled her arrival as a global fashion force.
Now, she follows in the footsteps of Bollywood heavyweights like Priyanka Chopra, Deepika Padukone, and Alia Bhatt — the latter being the sole Indian representative at last year’s Met Gala, where she lit up the carpet in a custom Sabyasachi sari.
This year’s Met Gala is already being hailed as a cultural landmark. The 2025 theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” is a powerful ode to Black fashion, identity, and resistance. Inspired by Professor Monica L. Miller’s acclaimed book Slaves to Fashion, the exhibition explores the revolutionary aesthetic of Black dandyism — where style becomes a statement of pride, protest, and individuality.
For the first time in Met Gala history, the Costume Institute will devote its spring exhibition entirely to Black designers, with a bold focus on menswear — a long-overdue spotlight that promises to shake up the fashion establishment.
And the dress code? “Tailored for You” — a call for guests to wear pieces that are not only custom-fit but deeply personal. Whether it’s a sharply tailored suit, a culturally rooted ensemble, or a dramatic modern silhouette, fashion at the 2025 Met Gala will be about storytelling through structure.
The A-list co-chairs for the night reflect the theme’s bold spirit: actor Colman Domingo, music legends A$AP Rocky and Pharrell Williams, F1 champion Lewis Hamilton, and the ever-iconic Anna Wintour. NBA titan LeBron James steps in as honorary chair, while the Host Committee features trailblazing names like André 3000, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, and Usher.
As the world tunes in to witness fashion history unfold, Kiara Advani is poised to make her mark — not just as a Met Gala debutante, but as a glowing symbol of strength, style, and unstoppable momentum. One thing’s certain: all eyes will be on her.
