The billionaire heiresses Isha and Ananya attended the 2026 Met Gala and and while their outfits was as different as night and day, they still had one thing in common. A Subodh Gupta sculpure.

Isha wore a Gaurav Gupta sari and structured veil with a jeweled blouse that included a sarpech from the Nizam’s collection. A jasmine hair piece from Saurabh Gupta and a mango steel sculpture from Subodh Gupta (carried as a bag) finished out her look. Somewhere in here there is a “aam log” joke that someone wittier than me can land.

Ananya wore a Robert Wun jacket and skirt and a Subodh Gupta face-piece showcasing his signature style of material used, the steel utensil.

Isha’s look will be compared to Natasha and maybe just for that, they should’ve picked a different color or stuck to the color depicted in the Raja Ravi Varma art piece that served as inspiration. As for Ananya, the mask was a cool touch, the Wun though wasn’t working with the mask.

Mrs. Maximalist Poonawalla sure delivered at the Met Gala in her custom Manish Malhotra gown featuring parsi gara embroidery with a collar piece from Atelier Biser and jewellery from her own collection. Loved how she incorporated an Indian craft into the theme. No complaints. (Ok, maybe a tiny one. If going for Parsi Gara, why not involved Ashdeen who is more known for the craft.)

(P.S. I’ve got kathak class, rest of it will be post after two hours! :P)

Isha walked the Met Gala blue carpet wearing a custom creation from Anamika Khanna with tassel features all over the coat and jewelled pants. And if all that embellishment was not enough, they added on some serious bling by way of the neckpiece and brooches/hair pins all over. Not sure why she chose to skip the hair for the blue carpet but overall, she looked pretty good.

Kiara attended a store launch wearing a black pussy-bow blouse and skirt from Balencia with white t-strap Louboutin sandals and gold jewellery. The black and white with the gold was a simple look but yet very striking. She looked great!

Day two of NMACC opening festivities saw Natasha in an Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla long kurta and structured gold sequin cape. This is where we now enter the case of “getting carried away”. In Mrs. Poonawalla’s case, her penchant to do More More More. I, though, don’t like it. Geddit, geddit?

The addition of the Schiaparelli clutch, I don’t mind but those boots had no place here. It just looked ridiculous. She wore them so well though at the label’s presentation with the silk pantsuit. See it inside.
