The Met Gala is known for eye-catching gowns and iconic debuts, and this time Alia Bhatt will join the Met Gala clan. Bhatt will be seen in a gown by Prabal Gurung, and before we dive into the designer's latest creation, let us take a look at some of his biggest achievements in his iconic timeline.

After a string of successful fashion weeks, it's officially time for fashion's biggest festival to kick off the month of May fashion-wise: the Met Gala 2023. The Met Gala is probably the best way to chase away the Monday blues as the Hollywood (and some Bollywood) glitterati take over the red carpet. Marvelling at the gowns and stalking the stars are two aspects we love about the Met Gala, but seeing the most anticipated debuts is as good as it gets, right? Speaking of which, this year will see the debut of another B-town star, Alia Bhatt. Scoring at the box office is one of Alia's strongest tasks, but shining on the red carpet is certainly a strong number two. Since Alia Bhatt is known for only settling for the best, she's also well-equipped to walk the Met Gala red carpet in a gown by Prabal Gurung. Gurung is known for his terrific fashion sense and Alia Bhatt is ready to make us fall in love with the designer's creative spirit again and again.

Inclusivity, equity and style are some of the many things synonymous with Prabal Gurung, a celebrated name in fashion. The Nepalese-American designer began his journey in 2009 as a freshman at the Flag Art Foundation in Chelsea. And before we know it, he's picking up Best Designer awards everywhere he goes, followed by a string of successes that put the crown on his head. From his entry into the industry with cocktail dresses to celebrities choosing his creations for their red carpet debut, Prabal Gurung is a name to be reckoned with. Staying true to his roots, Prabal Gurung ensures that his designs celebrate his identity and champion the issues that are close to his heart.

Hailing from a small town in Nepal, Prabal Gurung has come a long way as an American designer. Speaking of having come a long way: Before we dive into his latest creation for Alia Bhatt, let us reminisce and recall some of his iconic moments.

When talking about some of the greatest dresses in the history of fashion, Prabal Gurung is a name that keeps coming up. When we revisit some of his greatest moments, Zoe Saldana's appearance at the 'Star Trek' premiere in Germany in 2009 has to be at the top of the list. Zoe wore a red one-shoulder dress from Gurung's very first collection to the premiere, landing her at the top of his list of standouts.

Speaking of red dresses, this one holds a special place in Prabal's timeline as this one dress literally changed the course of his career. The eye-catching red dress worn by First Lady Michelle Obama at the White House Correspondents Dinner in 2010 became a crowning moment not only for him, but for his hometown, and since that moment, he's never looked back.

Even the name of the dress gives away that it's royalty in Prabal's list of iconic moments. Kate Middleton, Princess of Walesand Duchess of Cambridge, wore a luminous wool silk gown from Prabal Gurung's spring/summer collection to a state dinner in Singapore in 2012. She looked absolutely heavenly in this exquisite gown, marking yet another episode of Prabal Gurung and its excellence.

Next in line is the queen of Bollywood, Deepika Padukone, who looked boldly alluring in a red gown by Prabal Gurung at the Met Gala 2018. It seems like red will always hold a special place in Prabal's timeline. Deepika wore a gorgeous red gown with a high slit and a fabulous train following her.

In the line of notable names, here is another oneto mention - Kamala Harris. Kamala Harris, the Vice President of the United States, is known to appreciate independent American designers, and when she chose an elegant wine-coloured wool crepe dress by Prabal Gurung for the Presidential Inauguration, it was proof enough. She completed the look with a matching coat, giving Prabal another moment of joy as he looks back on his prolific timeline.

Speaking of moments, Prabal Gurung has been enchanting us with his designs for over a decade now, and his designs strutting down the ramp are always a sight to behold. Another iconic moment in his career is his recent presentation at New York Fashion Week, where the designer paid homage to his roots. Apart from the prolific designs and the concept of 'anichya', a striking feature of all the models was the sindoor, which appeared as bright as our culture.
