Last Updated:
Kiara Advani looked absolutely mesmerising in a black gown with a metallic breastplate and a flowing white train at the Met Gala 2025.
Mommy-to-be Kiara Advani thanked everyone for making her special moment at her Met Gala debut extra magical with their love, kindness, and celebration. Sharing a stunning clip of herself flaunting her baby bump for the first time in a gorgeous Gaurav Gupta creation, Kiara wrote on her Instagram, 'Still soaking it all in…Grateful for all the love, kindness, and celebration…Thank you for showing up for my Met Gala debut in such a big way, making my special moment extra magical. Your messages, cheers, and love mean the world."
Kiara looked absolutely mesmerising in a black gown with a metallic breastplate and a flowing white train. As a special touch for the mommy-to-be, the designer added a heart-shaped plaque for her baby, delicately tethered to the breastplate by a golden thread, representing the umbilical cord.
The stunner accessorised the look with gold rings, bold earrings, and an ear cuff. As for hair, Kiara pinned those wavy tresses back. Her ensemble was tied up with smoky eyes, brown toned lip-colour, and a complementing blush.
Sharing his experience of dressing the 'Kabir Singh' actress for her Met Gala debut, designer Gaurav Gupta penned, 'Kiara Advani (@kiaraaliaadvani) in custom Gaurav Gupta Couture titled 'Bravehearts' at her debut Met Gala. A tribute to defiance, legacy, and new beginnings. Bravehearts is built on the spirit of the Black Dandy — those who challenged norms and reshaped culture with grace, strength, and individuality."
'On the pregnant Kiara Advani, the look takes on deeper meaning, representing how identity is inherited and reimagined through generations. At its core, a gold sculpted breastplate with two hearts – mother and child, connected by an abstract umbilical cord. She is enveloped in a dramatic white cape echoing André Leon Talley's 2010 Met Gala look, the piece is both armour and offering," he added.

"Tick It Off Bucket List": Garba By Indian Tourists In Austria Goes Viral
A video of a group of Indian tourists performing Garba, a traditional Gujarati folk dance, on the streets of Austria has gone viral. The woman, who shared the video on her Instagram account, said she could now tick it off her bucket list. The clip showed 43 Gujarati and Marwadi tourists performing garba in the historic old town of Innsbruck, Austria. "This is really happening," said the woman who posted the clip. She revealed they came across two local street performers and asked them if they could play a Garba song on their speaker. At first, the performers refused, saying it would cause trouble with the police. But the Indian group insisted they would not leave without dancing. Eventually, the artists agreed, and the group performed Garba for five minutes. "Have you ever thought of playing Garba in Europe? Well, I had and now I can tick it off the bucket list," she captioned the video. View this post on Instagram A post shared by pearl:) (@ipearlshah) The video went viral but also faced criticism. One person commented, "Those performers are buskers; they are working hard to earn money. You literally disturbed them in their working hours and took away the spotlight for your own fun. Imagine someone coming to your workplace and ask you to use your laptop just to play games for fun. As a tourist, please learn to respect other art forms and artists." Another wrote, "This is just embarrassing and the precise reason why Indian tourists get a bad name. Being obsessed with doing this and being forced to do this on foreign soil is just plain ridiculous. Even in India, nobody does this randomly. Please think of other Indian tourists when you do such stuff." "I'm a Gujju and love garba, but sorry, I just don't get the obsession of doing it on abroad streets and being proud of something. I mean, we don't even do that in Indian on a random day and random street." Last week, a video of a grand Indian baraat, involving around 400 people, dancing through New York's iconic Wall Street, also went viral. It showed people dressed in shimmery sarees and sequinned lehengas dancing to Bollywood music on DJ beats. The groom and around 400 people were seen grooving to the dhols and DJ beats.
