Pictures from the 2021 Met Gala have been dominating our screens since morning. The event that's considered "Super Bowl Of Fashion" returned after its 2020 hiatus due to the pandemic. While Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Deepika Padukone were the Indian celebs who had walked the red carpet at the previous editions, this year a new face debuted and represented our country. Hyderabad-based philanthropist Sudha Reddy walked at the coveted event dressed in a Falguni Shane Peacock ensemble.
In line with this year’s theme - In America: A Lexicon of Fashion, Sudha sported an opulent military-inspired haute couture look by ace Indian couturiers Falguni Shane Peacock. The dress, inspired by the American Revolution, was a bright gold sculptured gown with a dramatic four-meter metallic train with a medley of hues borrowed from the American flag. The designers took over 250 hours to handcraft the stunning piece. Adding a dash of brilliance to her look was a statement custom-designed ear cuff by Farah Ali Khan. Fashion connoisseur Sudha Reddy is the first non-film personality from the state of Telangana to have been invited to the global affair, which has seen Indian celebrities like Priyanka Chopra, Deepika Padukone, Isha Ambani and Natasha Poonawala gracing its previous editions.
