Kiara Advani has made a jaw-dropping debut at the MET Gala 2025, and it’s not just the fashion world talking — it’s the entire internet. The Bollywood diva chose this global platform to make her first public appearance after announcing her pregnancy, proudly flaunting her baby bump in a bold and breathtaking gown titled ‘Bravehearts’.
In doing so, Kiara becomes the first Indian actress ever to showcase her baby bump at the MET Gala, a move previously seen among Hollywood stars but never from the Indian film industry.
Styled by Anaita Shroff Adajania and designed by Gaurav Gupta, Kiara’s look was nothing short of a masterpiece. Draped in a black and white flowing gown with golden corset detailing and a dramatic trail, she looked like a real-life Barbie with a divine pregnancy glow that left everyone awestruck.
But it wasn’t just about style — it was about symbolism.
The custom-designed gown featured two heart motifs crafted in gold on the chest — representing the mother’s and the unborn child’s hearts — connected by a delicate chain symbolizing the umbilical cord. This emotional detail captured hearts on social media and drew praise from international fashion critics.
A Look Inspired by Aishwarya Rai?
Some observers couldn’t help but compare Kiara’s look to Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s past Cannes appearance, with a similar golden-embellished corset and classic hairstyle. However, the message behind Kiara’s gown and her radiant pregnancy glow gave it a distinctive identity that stood apart.
During her red carpet walk, Kiara often held her baby bump lovingly, a gesture that made fans emotional. She described the moment as “one of the most beautiful phases of her life,” and expressed gratitude for being able to share it on such a monumental stage.
“As an artist and a woman embracing motherhood, this moment will forever stay close to my heart. To showcase this journey on the MET Gala platform is a proud experience,” said Kiara in a heartfelt statement.

Alongside Kiara, other Indian celebrities including Shah Rukh Khan, Diljit Dosanjh, and Priyanka Chopra also graced the red carpet. But it was Kiara Advani’s emotional and empowering appearance that dominated headlines globally.
International media outlets and fashion commentators lauded her look, calling it “bold,” “artistic,” and “deeply touching.”
In a world where fashion often meets fantasy, Kiara Advani turned it into reality, emotion, and empowerment — making her MET Gala debut not just a fashion moment, but a milestone in motherhood and representation.
