Did Alia Bhatt pay $50,000 for a Met Gala Ticket?

After it was announced that Alia Bhatt would make her debut at the 2023 Met Gala, there are reports that she paid a hefty sum.

The Met Gala is one of the most highly anticipated fashion events of the year.

Celebrities and fashionistas alike showcase their style and creativity on the red carpet.

However, the recent increase in ticket prices has caused a stir among the public.

According to media reports, ticket prices for the 2023 Met Gala have been raised from $30,000 to a staggering $50,000 per person.

This $20,000 increase in ticket prices has been met with criticism and controversy.

The Met Gala was originally started in 1948 to raise funds for the newly launched Costume Institute at the Museum of Art in New York.

The first event was a dinner function with a ticket price of $50.

Over the years, the event has grown in popularity and prestige, with A-list celebrities flocking to the event each year to showcase their fashion-forward looks.

In 2022, the Met Gala reportedly earned around $17.4 million.

For the 2023 Met Gala, which will take place on May 1, the theme is Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty.

The guest list has already been finalised and Alia Bhatt will be making her debut at the prestigious event.

The Bollywood actress will be wearing an outfit specially designed by Prabal Gurung, a New York-based designer who has created ensembles for several A-list celebrities, including Priyanka Chopra, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Katrina Kaif.

In 2018, Deepika Padukone graced the Met Gala wearing a red cardinal silk-crepe strapless gown designed by Prabal Gurung.

The outfit featured a hand-draped silk gazar sculptural shoulder bloom and a side-draped chapel train.

She completed her look with red heels, sleek hair, and red lipstick, along with Tasaki Atelier white gold, Sakura gold, and Akoya pearl Nacreous earrings with diamond accents.

Prabal Gurung is a Nepalese-American fashion designer based in New York City.

He has designed clothes for international figures such as Former First Lady Michelle Obama and The Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, in addition to his A-list celebrity clients.

Priyanka Chopra Jonas is also a regular attendee of the Met Gala, however, she gave the 2022 event a miss to be with her daughter Malti Marie.

Fans are eagerly waiting to see what ensemble Alia Bhatt will unveil at the event.
