The biggest festival of fashion Met Gala 2024 recently concluded at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art and the internet is chirping. The red carpet saw some of the finest arts, crafts, and walks of all time. Indian actress Alia Bhatt was one of those who seamlessly stole the show with her charm and an outfit that is receiving massive praise over the internet.

It did not take long for the eagle-eyed Internet users to dig back in time and point out how Alia’s exquisite Sabyasachi Mukherjee saree was allegedly a close replica of the designer’s own outfits.

What’s the controversy around Sabyasachi Mukherjee’s floral saree worn by Alia Bhatt?

A thread on Reddit emerged this morning which pointed out that before Alia, Sabyasachi made actresses Deepika Padukone and Katrina Kaif wear similar kind of sarees. Deepika donned a sheer tulle saree with floral applique at an award function in 2017, while Katrina wore a similar one during her pre-wedding celebrations in 2021. See here:-

Several users jumped to confirm the same in the comment section. One of them wrote, “Alia should have opted for GG or RM, sabya’s designs are so repetitive it sore to the eyes now.” Another added, “I was telling y'all that these designs are common in India, Sabya himself has rinsed and repeated it so many times…. And Alia should really blast on Sabya man. Wtf.” The third said, “Sabya ran out of ideas.”
