Isha Ambani, a familiar face at the Met Gala, made a powerful return to fashion’s grandest event on May 5, 2025. This year’s theme, Tailored for You, aligned with the Metropolitan Museum of Art's new exhibition Superfine: Tailoring Black Style, and invited attendees to interpret the elegance and flair of dandyism. Ambani’s ensemble, a custom creation by celebrated Indian designer Anamika Khanna, stood out for seamlessly blending modern tailoring with India’s artisanal legacy.
Anamika Khanna’s Couture Vision
The Reliance heiress wore a three-piece couture outfit designed by Anamika Khanna, styled by Anaita Shroff Adajania. The look featured a halter-style top embroidered with pearls and gold thread in the shape of an infinity symbol, paired with sleek black tailored trousers and a sharply structured white jacket. Khanna's atelier spent an estimated 20,000 hours creating the ensemble, which balanced bold structure with ornate detailing.
The jacket’s clean lines contrasted beautifully with its intricate embroidery, forming a silhouette that spoke to both authority and artistry. The outfit also incorporated a handwoven Benarasi train and was embellished with Zardozi and bow embroidery—details that drew on centuries-old Indian craftsmanship. According to Khanna, “Every element—down to the smallest stitch—carries the imprint of tradition and the pride of cultural continuity.”
Jewelry Rooted in History
Isha’s accessories carried historical and cinematic significance. She wore a vintage Cartier necklace from her personal collection that once belonged to the Maharaja of Nawanagar. The necklace, prominently featured in the film Ocean’s 8, includes 89 stones totaling 481.42 carats, including a cushion-cut 80.73-carat diamond. She further adorned her look with a diamond headpiece on her hip, Tiffany & Co. bird rings, and pearl-encrusted bird ornaments in her hair.
The coat she wore also featured diamond buttons trailing down the back, adding a final touch of understated opulence to the ensemble.
Beauty Look with Subtle Regal Notes
Her beauty look remained refined and deliberate. A brown smokey eye framed her gaze, complemented by rose-brown lips and soft contouring. Her hair was styled into a sleek side-parted braid, finished with a peacock-shaped clip—a subtle nod to Indian regality and elegance.
This year’s Met Gala appearance wasn’t just another red carpet moment for Isha Ambani. It was a visual celebration of Indian heritage, where modern tailoring met centuries-old traditions. By fusing structured Western silhouettes with handcrafted Indian embellishments, Isha presented a unique narrative.
