Alia Bhatt’s Met Gala 2024 appearance further solidified her massive fan base. Draped in a breathtaking Sabyasachi saree, she radiated elegance at the height of fashion. What’s particularly noteworthy is Alia’s embrace of her cultural heritage, as evidenced by the ‘kaala teeka’ worn behind her ear for protection against the evil eye. This gesture has sparked widespread excitement on the internet, with fans expressing love and admiration for her cultural representation.
Alia honored her Indian heritage by warding off the evil eye in a traditional desi manner. She adorned a kajal dot behind her ear, a quintessential practice. This detail is visible in a photo where she is facing away from the camera. This didn’t go unnoticed by the eagle-eyed fans and netizens who have been showering praises on Alia Bhatt.
Upon returning from fashion’s grandest event, the actress was spotted at the private airport in Mumbai. Radiating confidence, she rocked a pair of blue denim jeans, a grey blazer, and a white tee. Completing her ensemble with sunglasses and white sneakers, she exuded boss-lady vibes.
During her red carpet interview with Vogue, Alia shared her excitement about representing India in a saree. She told Vogue, “I’m feeling great. I’m feeling very excited. Months of preparation, lots of conversations and all builds up to this one moment. It’s so surreal but it’s also very special. It’s my second time at the Met, but my first time wearing a saree. When I thought of the dress code, ‘Garden of Time’, I felt it needed something timeless and there’s nothing timeless than a saree,”
