Indian fashion designer Anaita Shroff Adajania took to Instagram to share Isha Ambani's first look for Met Gala 2024. She revealed Isha is wearing a sari gown from Indian designer Rahul Mishra. Explaining her look, which took 1000 hours to make she said, "Rahul and I set out to depict nature¡¯s glorious and bountiful lifecycle in this custom look for Isha, which took over 10,000 hours to complete."

Isha's look also incorporates sustainability elements. "This look embraces sustainability by incorporating elements from Rahul¡¯s past collections. Delicate samples of flowers, butterflies, and dragonflies were meticulously integrated from the archives into the design, via distinct applique and embroidery techniques,such as Fareesha, Zardozi, Nakshi, and Dabka, as well as French knots. Together, all of these elements carry a powerful narrative about the state of the planet and offer a message of hope and rebirth. The magnificent look was intricately hand-embroidered at Rahul Mishra¡¯s ateliers across several Indian villages, supporting hundreds of local craftspeople and weavers," she wrote.

Anaita Shroff explained, "Complementing her gown is a clutch crafted by Swadesh using the ancient Indian art forms of Nakashi and Miniature Painting. The exquisite Jade clutch bag features an Indian Miniature Painting created by Jaipur artisan Hari Narain Marotia, a traditional art form that has been practiced in India for centuries. Despite its small scale, the painting is highly detailed and expressive, featuring India¡¯s national bird, the Mayura.

"The jewellery, traditional lotus hand bracelets (Haathpochas), parrot earrings and flower choker are designed by Viren Bhagat. Our goal, as always, was to take India to the world Custom Couture by Rahul Mishra," she added.

Isha Ambani's close friend Janhvi Kapoor commented, "Insane Insane."

"Breathtaking!," wrote another user. "@anaitashroffadajania, your work is absolutely breathtaking! Thank you for showcasing Indian handcrafted luxury in such a beautiful way. No one does it better!" said another one.
