Isha Ambani attended the Met Gala 2026 in New York, showcasing a custom-made gold saree that highlighted her Indian heritage. The saree took over 1,200 hours to create, involving more than 50 artisans. Isha’s look featured over 250 carats of diamonds from her family’s collection, adding a touch of high jewellery to the event.
The saree displayed hand-woven pure gold threads and intricate hand-painted motifs. In a playful twist, Isha carried a mango instead of a traditional purse, which sparked humorous responses online. Social media users commented on her choice, with one saying, “Lucky mango made it to Met Gala.” Another quipped, “Aam-bani?”
The ensemble was styled by Anaita Shroff Adajania and drew inspiration from ancient Indian frescoes. The jewellery included a prominent emerald centerpiece sourced from Lorraine Schwartz’s collection. This unique combination of fashion and cultural nods positioned Isha as a standout at the event.
Fashion experts noted that Isha’s look exemplified the theme of the Met Gala: “Fashion is Art.” The choice to incorporate such significant elements of Indian culture resonated with many attendees and viewers alike.
