It was a debut that the world will never forget. At the iconic MET Gala in New York, Alia Bhatt wore an Atelier Prabal Gurung ivory silk tulle and satin-face organza exaggerated basque waist ball gown embellished with hand-beaded pearls and scintillating diamond jewellery from Malabar Gold & Diamonds, the sixth largest jewellery retailer globally with 310+ showrooms across 10 countries.
In line with the night’s theme, ‘In honour of Karl’, a tribute to the legendary German designer Karl Lagerfeld, Alia, the brand ambassador of Malabar Gold & Diamonds, wore a diamond ring designed by the celebrated jewellery designer Alice Cicolini. Painstakingly handcrafted by master artisans from Malabar Gold & Diamonds, the knuckle duster was created around a 2.21-carat rose-cut solitaire surrounded by tapered, baguette and round diamonds, with a tassel of pearls while the other hand had rings in beautiful uncut diamonds. The artistic brilliance of handcrafted jewellery perfectly complemented Alia’s Met Gala pure white princess gown that had a long train, with every inch of its bodice drenched in pearls.
Be it acting or fashion, Alia has been at the forefront of glamour and talent. After making her acting debut in 2012, Alia has delivered several blockbusters and garnered praise from critics and the public. And to all this, she has added more shine by becoming the brand ambassador of Malabar Gold & Diamonds. The signing of Alia as the brand ambassador will bring a new global outlook to the brand as they set their eyes on new markets such as the UK, Australia, Canada, South Africa, Egypt, Bangladesh, Turkey and New Zealand as well as strengthening their presence in major Indian cities.
“I am delighted to be the face of a global brand such as Malabar Gold & Diamonds. Having witnessed first-hand their acceptance amongst Indians and Indian sub-continental audience, the immense success they have reaped abroad should be a source of great pride for us and I am humbled to be a part of the Malabar family,” Alia had said soon after signing up as the brand’s new face.
“We are very excited to welcome Alia Bhatt into the Malabar Family. Over the years, our brand ambassadors have played an instrumental role in elevating our brand’s status in the eyes of our customers and we are looking forward to taking Malabar Gold & Diamonds to new heights with Alia Bhatt as the face of the brand. Our goal is to be crowned as the world’s largest jewellery retailer by crafting, promoting and selling jewellery that is an intersection of Indian art, culture, tradition, heritage and Alia Bhatt, both as an actor and as a person, perfectly represents what we are striving to achieve,” Malabar Group Chairman, M.P. Ahammed said about the collaboration.
