Mom-to-be Kiara Advani looked like a dream at her MET Gala debut. Soon expecting her first child with husband Sidharth Malhotra, Kiara brought maternity charm to the red carpet. At the Met Gala 2025, the actor glowed in a monochrome gown as she arrived at the iconic Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. While we loved what she was wearing, what stole our attention was her Gen Z coded jewellery. Be it her mismatched earrings or her statement rings, Kiara’s Gen Z jewels is surely impressive.
Styled by the legendary Anaita Shroff Adajania, Kiara turned heads in an ensemble that was as playful as it was powerful, as forward-looking as it was rooted in heritage. Her outfit, designed by Gaurav Gupta, was titled Bravehearts—and it was far more than just a stunning piece of couture. This was wearable art, a sculptural tribute to femininity, lineage, and transformation. Crafted with immaculate precision, the gown featured an antique gold breastplate, embedded with ghungroos and shimmering crystals. But the real story lay in the deeply symbolic forms that adorned the bodice: a Mother Heart and a Baby Heart, linked by a chain-like umbilical cord. It was a breathtaking visual metaphor for the bond of motherhood—one that added emotional resonance to an otherwise glamorous red carpet moment.
In keeping with this year's Met Gala theme—‘Superfine: Tailoring Black Style’—and its accompanying dress code, ‘Tailored for You’, Kiara’s ensemble also carried a global fashion homage. The theme, which celebrates the history, elegance, and cultural significance of 'Black dandyism' and menswear tailoring, was subtly acknowledged in her dramatic, double-panelled cape.
But it wasn’t just the attire that made Kiara’s look a standout; it was the clever way she brought in Gen Z-coded details to make it feel fresh and contemporary. Her mismatched earrings—one a dramatic dangler, the other a statement ear cuff, were Gen Z coded max. Her nails featured a bold nail charm on a single finger, a subtle but trendy statement that fashion lovers couldn’t miss. Add to that a set of chunky, sculptural rings, and you’ve got a red carpet moment ready for history! By merging high fashion with Gen Z-forward details, couture with concept, and heritage with homage, she embodied the very spirit of the Met Gala.
