A few days ago, fashion critic and digital creator Diet Sabya released some unseen pictures of her 2024 Met look.

Styled by Anaita Shroff Adajania, Alia was seen in a pastel blueish-green sheer sari hand embroidered with delicate floral motifs using “silk floss, glass beading, and semi-precious gemstones” — perfectly encapsulating the theme for the mega event this year: The Garden of Time.

The actor’s look was completed with a pair of statement gemstone earrings, a mathapatti, multiple rings. For hair, she opted for a messy bun, which beautifully complemented her glam, yet subtle, makeup. (Source: Instagram/@dietsabya)

Sharing details about the bespoke creation, that featured a 23-foot-long train, Alia revealed that it took almost “1965 man hours and 163 craftsmen” to make the exquisite sari. (Source: Instagram/@dietsabya)

In the unseen pictures, we get to see Bhatt looking all dreamy and ethereal in a sheer veil with floral embroidery and golden tassels lined along the border. Unfortunately, the final look on the Met Gala carpet had her ditching the headdress and keeping the ensemble clean. (Source: Instagram/@dietsabya)

For her debut look in 2023, the Raazi actor was seen in a white sleeveless dress adorned with pearls by ace designer Prabal Gurung, styled with fingerless gloves and the bow of pearls on her sleekly styled hair. We can't wait to see her grace the Met Gala red carpet again! (Source: Instagram/@aliabhatt)
