As the fashion elite gathered to celebrate at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's annual gala, there were several Indian faces who graced the red carpet, including Alia Bhatt, Isha Ambani and Sudha Reddy. 

But how many of them nailed the Sleeping Beauty' and The Garden Of Time theme?

Scroll down to see each of their outfits and decide for yourselves.

IMAGE: Philanthropist and businesswoman Sudha Reddy represented India on the global stage in an ivory Tarun Tahiliani outfit.
Her off-the-shoulder corseted bodice featured flowing, cape-style sleeves and was paired with a lehenga skirt.
If you take a closer look at the corset, you'll notice a miniature style painting of Sudha 'embodying the past'.
'Handcrafted with thousands of French knots, Indian couching embroidery, Swarovski crystals and silk threadwork, the bodice is adorned with hand-carved, mother-of-pearl flowers...' Tahiliani said on Instagram.
She accessorised it with an heirloom necklace, featuring solitaires with three dangling hearts that represented hope, peace and love.

Galliano, she says, is 'the designer who first made her fall in love with fashion and who has had a huge influence on her deep appreciation for creativity'.
The Christian Louboutin shoes follow the theme of the outfit by incorporating her wedding jewels, her 'own sleeping beauties'.

IMAGE: For Alia Bhatt's second outing at the Met Gala, she chose a Sabyasachi Mukherjee 'couture sari and an exaggerated train, hand-embroidered with silk floss, beads, sequins, semi-precious stones and fringed with glass beads'.
That gorgeous confection had, like this picture shows, everyone's attention.

IMAGE: Mindy Kaling's gorgeous champagne Gaurav Gupta gown reminded all of a similar silhouette worn by Aishwarya Rai Bachchan to Cannes in 2022. 
One must admit the structured piece made her resemble a sleeping beauty, just waking up from her slumber.
