Met Gala 2026: Ananya Birla’s utensil mask, Isha Ambani’s mango make global statement
At the Met Gala 2026, Ananya Birla and Isha Ambani didn’t just serve looks — they told stories rooted in India. While Ananya stunned in a sharply tailored ensemble by Robert Wun, it was her striking metallic facepiece by Subodh Gupta — crafted using stainless steel kitchen-inspired elements — that turned heads. Meanwhile, Isha kept it subtle yet powerful, carrying a sculptural mango, also conceptualised by Subodh Gupta, symbolising culture, nostalgia and identity. From utensils reimagined as armour to a fruit elevated into art, India’s presence at the Met Gala proved that even the most ordinary objects can become extraordinary statements on the global stage.
