Kiara's Bravehearts Gown:
Kiara's show-stopping outfit reflected the concept of Black Dandyism and featured a striking black and gold gown paired with a dramatic white cape. The couture creation, Bravehearts, was more than just a fashion statement; it was a symbolic tribute to her pregnancy. The focal point of the attire was a golden heart-shaped breastplate on the strapless neckline, linked by a golden chain to a smaller golden heart resting on her waist, signifying the umbilical cord.
The look was kept sleek with bold gold hues and a white cape bordered in black. With radiant makeup and gold statement jewellery to complement, Kiara stumbled on the high-fashion bandwagon, carrying motherhood in style and grace, flaunting her baby bump with glamour.
Fashion Flashback:
However, some started comparing Kiara's look to that of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan at the 77th Cannes Film Festival. Aishwarya made a statement in a black-and-gold custom Falguni Shane Peacock gown with puffed sleeves, golden motifs, and a majestic trencher cape laden with 3D floral embellishments.
There was a lookalike impact conjured by the Internet since the dresses channelled similar colours and dramatic capes. As for differences in their execution, Kiara's looked modern and sculptural, whereas Aishwarya's was all about ornate and traditional glamour.
Netizens React:
The social media were abuzz with mixed reactions. A user expressed, "Is it just me, or does Kiara's MET Gala look feel like a spiritual successor to Aishwarya's Cannes gown?"
Another wrote, "Bas 19/20 ka farak hai." Some netizens were critical about the resemblance being "too close", while others wondered why Indian designers chose to "play safe" on international platforms.
