Isha Ambani made a stunning appearance at the 2024 Met Gala, adorned in a one-of-a-kind, intricately hand-embroidered saree gown. Coming from the esteemed Ambani lineage, Isha effortlessly blends elegance with business acumen, a fact made evident by her exquisite attire at the event.
The Met Gala’s theme for 2024, “The Garden of Time,” draws inspiration from JG Ballard’s 1962 short story of the same name, exploring the concept of fleeting beauty. Isha’s ensemble, crafted by renowned fashion designer Rahul Mishra, perfectly encapsulates this theme.
Rahul Mishra and Anaita Shroff Adajania shared a series of captivating images on Instagram, showcasing Isha Ambani in picturesque settings. Notably, the creation of Isha’s couture saree gown required an astonishing 10,000 hours to complete.
Anaita elaborated in the Instagram captions, explaining that Isha’s attire is a bespoke hand-embroidered masterpiece from Indian designer Rahul Mishra.
Created with the theme of “The Garden of Time” in mind, the ensemble seamlessly intertwines elements of nature’s vibrant lifecycle. Drawing from Rahul’s previous collections, delicate motifs of flowers, butterflies, and dragonflies were meticulously incorporated into the design using various embroidery techniques. This fusion of craftsmanship and sustainability conveys a profound message about our planet’s condition, offering a glimpse of hope and renewal.
“The stunning ensemble was meticulously hand-embroidered at various ateliers owned by Rahul Mishra across multiple Indian villages, providing vital support to countless local artisans and weavers.”
Anaita further detailed the accessories that enhanced Isha Ambani’s gown, stating, “Accompanying her attire is a clutch meticulously crafted by Swadesh using traditional Indian techniques of Nakashi and Miniature Painting.”
She elaborated on the clutch, describing it as an exquisite Jade creation featuring an Indian Miniature Painting by Jaipur artisan Hari Narain Marotia. This art form, steeped in Indian tradition, showcases intricate detailing and expression, portraying India’s national bird, the Mayura.
Additionally, the jewelry, including the traditional lotus hand bracelets (Haathpochas), parrot earrings, and floral choker, was designed by Viren Bhagat. Anaita emphasized their collective aim to showcase India’s rich cultural heritage on a global platform.

The 2024 Met Gala marks Isha’s fourth appearance at the event. She made her debut in 2017 wearing a striking ensemble by Christian Dior. In 2019, she donned a lilac gown crafted by Indian designer Prabal Gurung. Returning to the event in 2023, Isha once again opted for Prabal Gurung, stunning attendees in a collaborative creation—a black silk saree gown.
