Let’s talk about the heavy hitters. We are hearing loud, persistent rumors that Karan Johar is finally making his official Met Gala debut. After catching the action from the sidelines in 2025, KJo stepping onto the carpet feels long overdue. Expect him to bring his signature, unapologetic flamboyance, likely wrapped up in a custom Manish Malhotra creation to hit that artistic brief.
Then we have the veterans. Deepika Padukone is heavily rumored to be returning, with plenty of chatter suggesting she might be attending alongside Ranveer Singh. Sartorially, we’re expecting her to lean heavily into structural silhouettes mixed with classic, untouchable luxury.
Priyanka Chopra Jonas – honestly, the original trailblazer who cracked the Met Gala doors wide open for the Indian film industry -is also expected to make a comeback. With her, you brace for high-drama couture. And Alia Bhatt? Following her back-to-back acclaimed appearances, she’s highly anticipated to walk again. If she does, expect another masterful spotlight on indigenous Indian textiles and heritage craftsmanship.
