The Met Gala, held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, had several notable red carpet appearances. In line with this year's theme, "In America: An Anthology of Fashion, or "Gilded Glamour," Natasha Poonawalla made a strong desi showing in a gold Sabyasachi saree with a sheer trail. 

Sabyasachi decoded Natasha Poonawalla's Met Gala outfit and he wrote in an Instagram post: "For me the saree is a truly unique and versatile garment that owns its identity even as it transcends boundaries and geographies. Back when I was a young fashion student, I often wondered when I would see the sari at big global fashion events like the Met Gala."

He added, "For the 2022 Met Gala, themed 'In America: An Anthology of Fashion', Natasha Poonawalla's vision was to interpret the dress code 'gilded glamour' with an Indian gaze that revels in its multi-culturalism and authenticity. She wears a Schiaparelli hand-forged metal bustier paired with a custom Sabyasachi couture saree and trail."

Sabyasachi talked on decoding Natasha Poonawalla's Indian spin on the topic: "Sabyasachi contributed to Natasha's vision by celebrating Indian craftsmanship with a gold handcrafted printed tulle sari and trail embroidered with silk floss thread and embellished with bevel beads, semi-precious stones, crystals, sequins and applique printed velvet. The jewellery is a curation of custom pieces from Sabyasachi Fine Jewellery and limited edition collectibles from Sabyasachi's Curiosity Art and Antiquity Project-crafted using traditional techniques with precious and semi-precious stones."

Regina King, Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, and Lin-Manuel Miranda will serve as hosts and co-chairs this year, while designer Tom Ford, Instagram's Adam Mosseri, and Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour will serve as honorary co-chairs.
