Isha Ambani’s “Mom, mom, mom” Met Gala clip is now internet’s favourite Mother’s Day trend

The Met Gala gave the internet couture, diamonds, drama, and larger-than-life fashion moments this year. But unexpectedly, one of the most viral moments to emerge from fashion’s biggest night came down to a single word: “Mom.”

Just days before Mother’s Day, Isha Ambani sent social media into an emotional spiral after a behind-the-scenes clip from the Met Gala showed her proudly pointing at her jewellery while repeatedly saying, “Mom, mom, mom.”

The now-viral moment came as Isha revealed that the diamonds and emeralds she wore to the Met Gala belonged to her mother, Nita Ambani. And almost instantly, the internet stopped looking at the jewellery as just luxury fashion.

Instead, it became relatable - on different levels!

Because beneath the couture and billionaire glamour was something surprisingly universal: the excitement of wearing something that once belonged to your mother.

And now, social media creators are recreating the moment everywhere.

From daughters pulling out their mothers’ wedding jewellery and vintage sarees to creators dramatically recreating the now-iconic pointing gesture with handbags, bindis, oxidised earrings, and even old sunglasses, Instagram has unofficially turned the clip into the internet’s sweetest Mother’s Day trend.


What makes the trend especially interesting is how naturally it evolved. The original moment did not feel staged or emotionally packaged for virality. It was spontaneous, slightly chaotic, and genuinely affectionate - which is probably why audiences connected with it so strongly.

At an event known for carefully manufactured fashion spectacle, it was Isha Ambani’s candid excitement that ended up feeling more memorable than the red carpet itself.

And creators seem to be responding to exactly that energy.


Some recreations lean emotional, celebrating heirloom jewellery and generational memories. Others fully embrace humour, joking about inheriting “mom’s luxury collection” even if it is just a 3-course meal, some junk jewellery, or an old silk saree tucked away in the wardrobe for years.

But the emotional core remains the same: mothers unknowingly passing down memories through objects.


The timing of the trend has only made it more viral. With Mother’s Day filling social media feeds with tributes, nostalgic photos, and emotional captions today, the “Mom, mom, mom” trend feels playful, stylish, and deeply internet-native at the same time.

In many ways, the trend also reflects how online culture is shifting. Audiences increasingly connect with authenticity over perfection. And ironically, at one of fashion’s most extravagant events, the internet’s favourite moment ended up being one that felt completely unscripted.

Not the diamonds.
Not the couture.
