After creating ripples with his creations, Sabyasachi Mukherjee debuts at Met Gala 2024 and how
After winning hearts with his creation that actor Alia Bhatt donned to the Met Gala 2024, Sabyasachi Mukherjee was up for an appearance this time at fashion's biggest event, and no wonder the designer made a mark as he left us in awe.
For his red carpet debut at the Met Gala, the ace designer picked an embroidered cotton duster coat from the Sabyasachi Resort 2024 collection layered his attire with tourmalines, pearls, emeralds and diamonds from Sabyasachi High Jewellery.
Sharing details of his look, the designer wrote in his post, "As the galloping horde of mechanization, modernization, and uniformity march ever closer, it is craft, that embodiment of human touch, tradition and diversity that will safeguard culture from the passage of time."
Not just the event, but the designer was seen acing his looks on the streets of New York.
Bollywood top star Alia Bhatt paid homage to the natural beauty of the world through her saree- designed by Sabyasachi for her second appearance at Met Gala 2024.
For the uninformed, the Met Gala is the world's most prestigious and glamorous fashion event.
Alia opted for a saree blending tradition with innovation, as she says, giving "an ode to art and eternity".

"Creating this has been quite an experience... fun and stressful in equal parts. It has taken a collective effort of 163 dedicated individuals, including master craftspeople, embroiderers, artists, and dyers, investing a total of 1965-man hours to create this ethereal saree. As I wear this outfit, I feel incredibly grateful to embody this exquisite creation, a testament to boundless love and painstaking effort," read Alia Bhatt's post.
