Prabal Gurung was mighty impressed by how his creation along with celebrity stylist Anaita Shroff Adajania was meant for the Brahmastra actress. Before the designer said, "From Mumbai To Met", a makeup-free Alia joked, 'Cool, can somebody like lift me up now, and place me on the (Met Gala) carpet from here?'

While seated on the makeup chair, Alia said, "When you talk about one of the major events in the year globally, the first that comes to mind is the Met Gala. It is very exciting, but I will definitely tell you that when I am stepping out of that sprinter van, I am going to feel like a little wobble in my knees. It is not going to be really nice because I have a very big dress, and very high shoes."

Next, she was seen exiting her room and managing her dress and she entered into the lift with the designer and her team. The clip also has a few snaps of the actress posing with singer Rita Ora and Prabal, and greeting fans as she left the hotel to attend Met Gala 2023.
