Met Gala 2025: Iconic blue carpet was made by an Indian company, 480 artisans took 90 days to make it, founders are…, is located in…
Met Gala 2025 is a grand celebration of fashion that now is an elite fundraising event for the museum of arts. This year the gala event saw the legendary debut of Shah Rukh Khan, the first Bollywood male actor to ever walk the carpet. In addition to it, actress Kiara Advani, singer Diljit Dosanjh also made stylish and regal debuts at the event.
The walk of fashion that every guest does before entering the venue is at the red carpet which is not so red any more. This year, the Met Gala carpet was blue and adorned with yellow flowers. For the unversed, for third time in a row when the Met Gala carpet was made by Indians. An eco-friendly sustainable weaving house located in Kerala, India is behind the grand charm. A homegrown brand Neytt, is behind the creation.
Met Gala 2025 Carpet Made in India
This year the Metropolitan Museum of Art reminded us of the SRK song ‘Aaj zameen pe utre kitne sitare hain’, only because the King Khan himself walked the 63480 sqm carpet. This deep blue carpet was crafted by Neytt by Extraweave.
Headquartered in Alappuzha, a coastal town often called the “Venice of the East,” Neytt by Extraweave is helmed by Sivan Santhosh and Nimisha Srinivas. While the brand itself is a recent player in the global luxury design scene, its roots go back more than a century. In 1917, Santhosh’s grandfather, K. Velayudhan, established Travancore Mats and Matting Company, laying the foundation for Kerala’s carpet-making industry. Building on this legacy, Velayudhan Santhosh launched Extraweave Pvt. Ltd. in the early 2000s, which would go on to supply rugs and carpets to premium retailers across the globe.
Neytt made its Met Gala debut in 2022 and quickly established itself as an integral part of the event’s evolving visual storytelling. In 2023, the brand collaborated with legendary Japanese architect Tadao Ando to design a red carpet inspired by the late Karl Lagerfeld—a minimalist yet powerful tribute to the iconic fashion designer. That installation marked a turning point, placing Neytt firmly on the global design map.
