Met Gala: Kiara Advani pays ode to motherhood with bejewelled `umbilical cord

As Indian stars Shah Rukh Khan and Diljit Dosanjh walked the red carpet at Met Gala 2025, even Kiara Advani, who is currently pregnant, also made an appearance at The Metropolitan Museum of Art earlier today. 

Celebrating the `Superfine: Tailoring Black Style` theme, Kiara embraced it a custom Gaurav Gupta couture creation — a sculptural black gown featuring a bold gilded breastplate that had a framed heart, adorned with crystals and ghungroos (bells). 

The most interesting part of her ensemble was a custom bejeweled umbilical cord, which was by Outhouse Jewellery, glistening to showcase her journey of motherhood that has only just begun. 

Designed to tether her heart to her unborn child, the cord wasn’t just ornamentation visual ode to motherhood and a bond that begins before birth.

Completing the look were Koko Bugs—sacred emblems of metamorphosis—nestled into her ears and fingers, and a cross of Keshi pearls on her hand.
