Pregnant Kiara, Protective Sidharth & Glam Isha catch-up behind the scenes at MET Gala 2025

The 2025 Met Gala unfolded with unexpected moments for Indian audiences, many of whom tuned in before dawn to catch their favourite celebrities walk the carpet. Among the most discussed appearances was Kiara Advani’s, not just for her ensemble but for the quiet moment of support shared with her husband, actor Sidharth Malhotra.

Hours before she walked the carpet, a video surfaced online showing the couple sharing a candid moment outside the venue. Kiara, expecting her first child, appeared calm and composed, while Sidharth accompanied her with quiet resolve, fuelling speculation about his participation at the event. While he didn’t appear at the Gala itself, the footage and subsequent behind-the-scenes images confirmed his presence at the location, offering a glimpse into their bond away from the public glare.

A photograph that has now begun circulating online captured Kiara and Sidharth in a private setting with Isha Ambani and stylist Anaita Shroff Adajania. The image, taken just before the Met, gave followers a rare peek into the pre-event mood. Isha’s attire for the evening, a result of her collaboration with Anamika Khanna, has been widely discussed in fashion circles, particularly for its structural detail and ornate layering.

This year’s Met Gala theme, ‘Superfine: Tailoring Black Style’, brought forward designers and wearers who interpreted the brief in distinct ways. Kiara’s interpretation, curated by Gaurav Gupta, combined contemporary structure with symbolic detailing. The piece she wore sparked widespread conversation, not only for its craftsmanship but for its nuanced reference to motherhood.

The internet has since been flooded with reactions, many pointing out the subtlety with which Indian representation continues to evolve on global platforms like the Met. As the visuals circulate, fans and critics alike seem intrigued by the shift in how Bollywood’s global icons are choosing to present themselves — with a blend of storytelling, restraint, and personal presence.

While many moments from the evening stood out, Kiara’s calm confidence and Sidharth’s quiet solidarity may linger a little longer in public memory.
