Kajol shared a handmade thread-based creation on Instagram after the Met Gala 2026, highlighting craftsmanship and dedicating it to artisans.
She also referenced her close friends, filmmaker Karan Johar and designer Manish Malhotra, noting their recent participation in the global fashion event.
In her post, Kajol wrote that the piece was inspired by the “Met Gala season” and emphasised the importance of “karigars” (craftsmen).
She tagged Johar and Malhotra, linking her creative work to their appearances at the prestigious event. Karan Johar made his Met Gala debut in a Manish Malhotra-designed outfit inspired by Raja Ravi Varma’s art under the theme “Costume Art.”
He described the experience as a full-circle moment, from being a cinema enthusiast to representing Indian culture globally.
His outfit featured hand-painted details and a dramatic cape. Manish Malhotra collaborated on the look, continuing his signature blend of Indian heritage and modern couture.
The Met Gala, held annually at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a major fundraising fashion event and one of the world’s most prestigious style showcases. (IANS)
