Alia Bhatt shared the anecdote in a BTS video of her getting ready for the Met Gala 2024 

Alia Bhatt was the proverbial ‘belle of the ball' at Met Gala 2024, gliding down in a delicate saree as the world watched in awe. For the prestigious charity fashion event, Alia Bhatt rested her faith in ace couturier Sabyasachi, who created an “intricately handcrafted 23-foot-long saree” to fit the Garden Of Time dress code, replete with an extravagant pallu-train. While fashionistas in the Indian subcontinent were thrilled to see a saree at the Met Gala, Alia Bhatt recounted the very first time she wore a saree. Speaking to Vogue in a BTS video of her getting ready for the Met Gala, Alia Bhatt explained that things didn't go as planned. “I remember the first time I wore a saree was for Teachers' Day. I was in the 9th grade, and as I reached my school, my pleats opened. So I went into the bathroom, and they were like, ‘Baby, kya ho raha hai? (What's happening?)' and like quickly, quickly, they were putting my pleats back,” Alia shared.

Alia Bhatt also explained why she chose to turn up in a saree at the Met Gala. She said: “When it comes to an outfit, there's nothing more endless or timeless like a saree.” Then Sabyasachi shared that Alia was deeply engaged in the outfit creation process, bringing her references to achieve the desired look. He added: “She designed her own outfit.”

In the same video, Alia Bhatt also made another interesting revelation. Sharing that Sabyasachi wanted to become an architect instead of a fashion designer, Alia Bhatt shared her own alternate career choice. She said: “I have discovered that I would be a wedding planner. I love planning. I love plans.”
