Princess Gauravi Kumari and Sawai Padmanabh Singh, the Maharaja of Jaipur, made a striking appearance at the Met Gala 2026, bringing royal Indian heritage to one of fashion’s biggest global stages. The two arrived in custom looks created by designer Prabal Gurung.
Gauravi Kumari's look drew from the timeless style of her grandmother, Maharani Gayatri Devi, one of India’s most admired royal style icons. Gauravi was styled in a soft pink chiffon sari, with layers of pearl jewellery and statement heirloom-inspired pieces.
Sawai Padmanabh Singh's look focused on the Phulghar coat, a regional form that was reimagined for the Met Gala with strong craftsmanship and dramatic presence. The coat, developed with Prabal Gurung, was realized in Jaipur by Yash and Ashima Tholia and their team.
According to Vogue India, the coat took more than 600 hours to complete and featured intricate aari and zardozi embroidery.
