Alia Bhatt stirred fresh talk around her international fashion calendar after a comment during a Zoom interaction with fans, asking, “Are you attending Cannes or Met Gala this year? We really missed you last year. Let’s just say it’s going to be a busy May.” The exchange brought immediate attention to May 2026 and raised questions about whether she would return to Cannes, the Met Gala, or both. It also put her recent red carpet timeline back in focus.

The comment stood out because it tied the current conversation to a clear timeline. Bhatt made her Met Gala debut in 2023 in Prabal Gurung, marking her arrival on one of fashion’s biggest global stages. In 2024, she returned in a custom Sabyasachi look that drew wide attention for its detailing, long train, and strong Indian influence on an international carpet.Her 2024 appearance remained a major reference point in the new conversation. Bhatt wore a mint green saree by Sabyasachi for the ‘Sleeping Beauties’ theme. The outfit featured floral embroidery, semi-precious gemstones, and a 23-foot train. She styled it with fresh makeup, coral blush, soft eyes, a loose updo, and statement emerald and diamond jewelry.

The line, “We really missed you last year,” added another layer because Bhatt was absent in 2025. That gap made the mention of a “busy May” more significant and pushed speculation around a return in 2026.
