Alia’s recent appearance at the Met Gala garnered significant attention, particularly due to her stunning traditional ensemble designed by Sabyasachi.
Beyond her fashion choices, Alia embraced her Indian heritage by incorporating a quintessentially desi practice to ward off the evil eye. As she represented India on a global platform, Alia expressed her excitement about wearing a saree for the first time at the Met Gala, embodying the theme of ‘Garden of Time’ with timeless elegance.
