Months of preparation, lots of conversations and all builds up to this one moment. It’s so surreal but it’s also very special. It’s my second time at the Met, but my first time wearing a sari. When I thought of the dress code, ‘Garden of Time’, I felt it needed something timeless and there’s nothing timeless than a sari,” she said.
