'Same same but different': Did Alia Bhatt COPY Deepika Padukone's Sabyasachi saree? Netizens think so [ Pics]

Bollywood actor Alia Bhatt made her second appearance at the Met Gala a custom-made sabhyasachi saree. Needless to say, Alia Bhatt looks elegant and breathtakingly as she represents India globally wearing a Indian traditional ethnic saree.

Apart from fine work made with gemstones, Alia Bhatt's massive train covered almost the entire red carpet as she walked up the MET stairs. Keeping with this year's theme inspired by J.G Ballard's The Garden of Time, the actor's ethereal long train featured florals delicately hand-embroidered using silk floss, glass beading and semi-precious gemstones.

Alia beamed with joy as she walked the red carpet in an ethereal saree. She tied her hair in a bun and looked like a garden fairy.

The jewellery hairband matched her drop earrings too.

Before making her appearance on the red carpet, Alia Bhatt told Vogue, "The sari's design, with its translucent, glass-like appearance is not just a nod to the ethereal quality of the garden in Ballard's story but also a tribute to the exquisite, enduring craft of sari-making."

Alia Bhatt added, "What drew me to this look was the sheer audacity of how it merges traditional craftsmanship with avant-garde aesthetics. Sabyasachi, known for his dedication to bringing old-world charm and modern sophistication together, seemed like the perfect choice to encapsulate the theme of this year's Met Gala."
