At the Met Gala 2026, Isha Ambani delivered one of the most talked-about appearances of the night, blending couture with culture in spectacular fashion. Dressed in a custom saree by Gaurav Gupta, her ensemble featured Pichwai-inspired motifs and was woven with threads of pure gold by artisans from Swadesh. What truly set her look apart, however, was the sheer opulence — the blouse was adorned with over 1,800 carats of diamonds, alongside a historic sarpech once part of the Nizam’s jewellery collection, making it one of the most extravagant looks on the red carpet. Adding an artistic dimension, she carried a mango sculpture by Subodh Gupta in a crochet bag, aligning perfectly with the theme ‘Fashion is Art’. Her gajra-inspired hairpiece, crafted by Sourabh Gupta, further elevated the ensemble with a modern take on tradition. From championing Indian craftsmanship at a pre-Met event to consistently wearing designers like Rahul Mishra and Anamika Khanna in previous years, Isha Ambani continues to showcase India’s rich heritage on a global stage — and this year, she did so with unmatched brilliance.
