The Ambani family, one of the wealthiest and most influential families in India, is known for living a life of unmatched luxury. As excitement builds around the Met Gala 2025, all eyes were on Indian celebrities like Shah Rukh Khan, Diljit Dosanjh, and Kiara Advani. But it was Isha Ambani who truly captured global attention with her regal appearance, leaving a lasting impression on the red carpet.
A Look That Blended Heritage and Haute Couture
Isha Ambani’s Met Gala ensemble was designed around the theme “Tailored for You.” She donned a striking three-piece outfit crafted by renowned Indian designer Anamika Khanna. The look featured a black halter-style top adorned with intricate pearl and stone embroidery, paired with bell-bottom trousers and a long, flowing shrug. The fabrics used were a rich combination of Banarasi and Zardozi textiles, symbolizing Indian artistry fused with global fashion sensibilities.
Jewelry That Rewrote History
The true highlight of Isha’s look was her breathtaking 136-carat solitaire necklace, inspired by the legendary Cartier Toussaint Necklace. This piece, originally commissioned by the Maharaja of Nawanagar, is known as the “Queen of Holland.” It is one of the most iconic and rare pieces in jewelry history.
When Cartier first created the original, he remarked that “every fashion lover dreams of wearing something like this.” Isha not only wore its modern interpretation but brought royal legacy back into the spotlight.
A Cinematic Connection
Interestingly, a replica of the Toussaint necklace appeared in the movie Ocean’s 8. It took 4,200 hours to recreate and was made using zirconium oxide instead of real diamonds. While that version was a cinematic marvel, Isha Ambani’s version at Met Gala 2025 was nothing short of a living tribute to India’s regal history and timeless fashion.
