Isha Ambani made a stunning appearance at the 2025 Met Gala, once again turning heads with her elegant yet bold fashion choices. Dressed in a bespoke outfit by celebrated Indian designer Anamika Khanna, the Reliance Retail Ventures Ltd. executive director embodied this year’s theme of Black Dandyism with a unique mix of traditional Indian artistry and contemporary styling.

The ensemble featured a white embroidered corset paired with sleek black trousers and a dramatic cape that cascaded to the floor. According to stylist Anaita Shroff Adajania, the outfit was crafted using handwoven checkered fabric sourced from Swadesh, Reliance’s in-house handloom initiative. The cape alone reportedly took more than 20,000 hours to embroider.

But what truly stole the spotlight was Isha’s jewellery — particularly an opulent diamond necklace that originally belonged to her mother, Nita Ambani. Styled with multiple statement rings and an ornate brooch, the heirloom necklace featured two striking rows of diamonds, accented by three large connecting stones and a central pendant. The piece drew inspiration from the historic Cartier Toussaint necklace, once worn by the Maharaja of Nawanagar and later reimagined for the Hollywood film Ocean’s 8.

Speaking to jewellery influencer Julia Chafe, Isha confirmed that much of the jewellery she wore — including the brooch and necklace — was part of her mother’s collection. The addition of a stylish hat gave her look a dandy flair, completing the theme with panache.

With her hair braided and makeup kept minimal — featuring nude lips and bronzed tones — Isha allowed the couture and jewels to take centre stage.

This marks yet another standout Met Gala appearance for Isha Ambani, who has previously graced the red carpet in ensembles by Rahul Mishra and Prabal Gurung. Joining her this year were several other Indian celebrities including Shah Rukh Khan, Kiara Advani, Priyanka Chopra, Diljit Dosanjh, Mona Patel, and Natasha Poonawalla.

Isha Ambani continues to merge Indian craftsmanship with global fashion, representing a new wave of luxury rooted in heritage.
