Kiara Advani’s Met Gala look reminds fans of Aishwarya Rai’s Cannes outfit: ‘Bas 19/20 ka farak hai’

Kiara Advani’s Met Gala look reminded fans of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s ensemble during her appearance at the 77th Cannes Film Festival.

Mom-to-be Kiara Advani made a grand debut at the Met Gala 2025 and flaunted her baby bump while posing on the red carpet. The Game Changer actor wore a custom-made dress designed by Gaurav Gupta. She wore a gold-plated breastplate and made a loud statement about motherhood at the event. However, Kiara’s look reminded fans of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s ensemble during her appearance at the 77th Cannes Film Festival.

Kiara wore a black gown featuring an antique gold breastplate adorned with ghungroos and crystals. A gold-plated heart was placed on her stomach, linked to the breastplate by a thin gold chain, symbolizing the umbilical cord. Kiara completed her look with a long white cape. Her appearance drew comparisons to Aishwarya’s Cannes look, where she wore a similar black gown with gold 3D floral embellishments attached to the dress. Aishwarya’s attire also featured dramatic puff sleeves, and like Kiara, she wore a floor-sweeping cape that added to the allure. However, Aishwarya had worn a different designer — Falguni Shane Peacock’s creation — at Cannes.

Fans were quick to compare both attires. A fan wrote, “Is it just me or does Kiara’s MET Gala look feel like a spiritual successor to Aishwarya’s Cannes gown?” while another commented, “Bas 19/20 ka farak hai.”

Speaking about her Met Gala 2025 look, Kiara spoke about the significance of making a Met Gala debut while she is pregnant with her first child. She said, “Making my Met Gala debut at this point in my life, as both an artist and mother-to-be, feels incredibly special. When my stylist, Anaita, approached Gaurav to design my look, he created ‘Bravehearts’, a vision that honours the transformative phase I’m stepping into, connecting it beautifully to this year’s dress code, ‘Tailored for You.’ Inspired by the legacy of André Leon Talley, we reflected on what it means to show up with intention, individuality, and strength. This is a silent tribute to that — it’s a reminder that everything we do paves the way for the next generation.”

Other than Kiara, other Indian celebrities like Shah Rukh Khan, Diljit Dosanjh, Isha Ambani, Priyanka Chopra and Natasha Poonawalla also attended Met Gala 2025.
