Gaurav Gupta Breaks Down the Meaning
Designer Gaurav Gupta, known for blending fashion with narrative, shared the deeper significance behind the look:
“A tribute to defiance, legacy, and new beginnings. Bravehearts is built on the spirit of the Black Dandy — those who challenged norms and reshaped culture with grace, strength, and individuality.”
On Kiara, the interpretation became even more poignant. He added:

“The look takes on deeper meaning; representing how identity is inherited and reimagined through generations. At its core, a gold sculpted breastplate with two hearts — mother and child — connected by an abstract umbilical cord.”
The dramatic white cape, inspired by André Leon Talley’s 2010 Met Gala look, served as both a symbol of protection and power — “armour and offering,” in Gupta’s words.

Gaurav Gupta continues to build a global presence, having dressed stars such as:
Beyoncé, Shakira, Jenna Ortega, Bebe Rexha, Sharon Stone, Lizzo, Paris Hilton, Angela Bassett, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, and many more, including Bollywood icons like Kriti Sanon, Janhvi Kapoor, and Kareena Kapoor Khan.
A Theme of Heritage and Elegance
The 2025 Met Gala theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” is a homage to Black Dandyism, celebrating identity, legacy, and craftsmanship — making Kiara’s appearance and symbolism all the more powerful.
