New York: Alia Bhatt who is all set to make her Met Gala debut this year on Saturday shared a glimpse of preparation and revealed her companion for the fashion's biggest night out. Taking to the Instagram story, Alia shared a couple of pictures with her cat, Edward who will be her companion at the Met Gala.
In the first picture, she can be seen facing her back toward the camera while dressed in a black strapless gown and holding her cat. She wrote, "Prepping for the Met..." And in the next actor can be seen showering love and kisses on Edward and captioning it, "with my own Coup-Ed." On Sunday, Alia also shared a photo from her room in New York and captioned it "New York- You were missed."
For those wondering, 'Why Alia would make the Met Gala debut with her pet?' The thought behind Alia taking Edward along to the red carpet could be the theme of the 2023 Met Gala. This year, the theme is Karl Lagerfeld, and it celebrates the opening of the “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty” exhibit, which honors the late designer's style and themes. Karl famously pampered his cat Choupette and Alia seems to have decided to pay tribute to the late German fashion giant with a personal note.
