Alia Bhatt looks no less than a snow-white princess as she makes her debut at the Met Gala in a 'Made in India' creation

Taking to Instagram, Alia Bhatt shared how she has always been "fascinated by iconic Chanel brides", something that also inspired her look for the fashion extravaganza. She also dedicated the colour white to her cat Edward.

"Met Gala — Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty, I have always been fascinated by the iconic Chanel brides. Season after season, the genius of Karl Lagerfeld shone through in the most innovative and awe-inspiring couture. My look tonight was inspired by this and in particular by supermodel Claudia Schiffer's 1992 Chanel bridal look. I wanted to do something that felt authentic (hello, pearls!) and proudly made in India. The embroidery, made with 100,000 pearls is a labour of love by @prabalgurung. I'm so proud to wear you for my first Met", she wrote

Furthermore, she added, "A girl can never have too many pearls... and the right accessories to complement the look which in our case translated to the bow of pearls on my hair."

But, Alia's look not only paid tribute to the iconic Chanel brides, but it also gave a nod to her pet cat, Edward, as she wrote, "Oh, and it's white, for my Choup-ED."

Fans and fraternity were smitten by Alia's debut at Met Gala and were mesmerised seeing her couture and the walk.

From waving to international media to flashing her dimpled smile, Alia Bhatt's confidence wowed the internet. 

Take a look at the videos and images.
