Another big Indian debut at the Met gala 2024. Yes! we are talking Mona Patel. Heard of her before? She is an Indian fashion entrepreneur who just turned heads with her showstopping ‘mechanical butterflies’ dress. Styled by celebrity stylist Law Roach, Mona’s stunning debut left fans wondering about the mastermind behind her exquisite creation.

Mona wore a custom creation by Iris Van Herpen, which featured intricate mechanical butterflies. The gown was a nude floor-gazing sculpted masterpiece with a butterfly shaped closet and scalloped train. The dress perfectly complemented the theme “The Garden of Time.” The masterpiece of the ensemble was its butterflies that were just winging around. As Mona walked down the red carpet, they fluttered from side to side, creating a hypnotic effect, bringing the nature to life. She completed her magical look with minimal glossy glam i.e. dazzling highlighter, nude lip shade, perfect brows, sharp contour, blushed cheeks and glowing skin. Her diamond accessories and side-parted bun amped up the Met Gala appearance.
