Indian socialite and businesswoman Natasha Poonawalla brought the Indian representation to the Met Gala 2022 red carpet and won over the desi internet. The entrepreneur nailed the 'Gilded Glamour' theme for the night while also bringing in a touch of Indian elegance by wearing a saree with a bustier and ornate jewellery. Indian ace-designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee designed her golden saree and the jewels, whereas the bustier came from the house of Schiaparelli. The infusion of desi glamour and the American-inspired theme instantly made Natasha one of the best-dressed celebrities of the night.
Walking against the wave was British-Pakistani actor and musician Riz Ahmed, who was styled by Julie Ragolia, arrived at the event in a silk shirt and undershirt topped off with an understated Cartier necklace. Speaking with Vogue, Riz said, “This is a homage to the immigrant workers who kept the Gilded Age going.” This year’s theme especially played into the opulence of the era with gala invitations giving specific instructions that the event is ‘white tie’, the even more formal counterpart of black tie.
