At the 2026 Met Gala in New York City, India didn’t just arrive in couture — it arrived carrying history, heritage and entire art archives stitched into fabric. This year’s theme, ‘Costume Art,’ pushed celebrities to blur the line between fashion and fine art, and Indian attendees embraced it with grand storytelling. Isha Ambani wore a gold-threaded sari inspired by Indian frescoes and pichwai paintings, while Karan Johar channelled Raja Ravi Varma through a dramatic Manish Malhotra ensemble. Jaipur royals Padmanabh Singh and Gauravi Kumari honoured royal craftsmanship and family heirlooms, while Manish Malhotra spotlighted artisans themselves. Together, India transformed fashion’s biggest carpet into a walking museum of memory, identity and craftsmanship.
