Kiara Advani made a significant impact at the 2025 Met Gala, marking her debut at the prestigious event. The Bollywood star, expecting her first child, topped the list of 'Top Key Voices' compiled by social media tracking agency Lefty. Advani's earned media value (EMV) from the event reached $15.3 million.
Advani's EMV slightly surpassed Kylie Jenner, who secured the second position with $15.2 million. The top five influencers also included Lewis Hamilton, Freen, and Hailey Bieber. Lefty reported that Kiara Advani's engagement rate on her Met Gala posts was notably high at 3.5%, contrasting with Kylie Jenner's 0.3%.
Kiara Advani's custom-made Gaurav Gupta couture, named "Bravehearts," celebrated her transformative phase into motherhood. The monochrome garment featured a gold sculpted breastplate symbolizing the connection between mother and child. The look also paid tribute to André Leon Talley, through a dramatic double-panelled cape.
The 2025 Met Gala also marked the debuts of Shah Rukh Khan and Diljit Dosanjh. Other notable Indian attendees included Priyanka Chopra, Manish Malhotra, Prabal Gurung, Sabysachi, Isha Ambani, and Natasha Poonawalla.
