In this iteration, it only exists with its meaning activated when Natasha wears it, rather than as a sculpture in its own right.

Several celebrities, including Kareena Kapoor Khan, Zoya Akhtar, and Bhumi Pednekar, also praised the creation. "Oh my goddd," one user wrote, while another said, "Incredible !!!" "love this so much," read another comment. "The best!!! Always!!!"<br>&nbsp;</p>

With her unconventional look, Ananya Birla stole the show at the Met Gala 2026. The highlight of her ensemble was a metallic face mask crafted by Subodh Gupta.

Ananya Birla's debut at the Met Gala 2026 was one of the most-talked-about moments of the evening. Instead of choosing a visible look, she stole the show with her dramatic, intriguing approach. The businesswoman arrived at the red carpet in a mask that concealed her identity, leaving the viewers curious. Held at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, this year's theme for the Met Gala was "Fashion Is Art," and Birla's mysterious appearance, styled by Rhea Kapoor, definitely embraced it.

The outfit featured a black jacket with a cinched waist and sculptural peplum detailing, paired with a floor-length pleated skirt. The structured silhouette went perfectly with a subtle light blue shirt, but the best part about her look was the metallic face mask crafted by renowned Indian artist Subodh Gupta. Made using stainless steel, the sculptural piece fully covered her face. The mask is said to have been inspired by everyday kitchen utensils.

"SUBODH GUPTA X ROBERT WUN for ANANYA BIRLA #met2026. Crafting the Ordinary into the Extraordinary. #fashionisart. Using his signature stainless steel, Gupta has crafted what is both a disguise, obscuring the wearer’s identity, and a visage of foreboding strength," she wrote. "The work sends mixed signals: the wearer who dons this piece becomes a super hero yet one who comes out of the humble beginnings of the common household. Extending this idea, Robert Wun reinterprets the codes of everyday workwear, pushing the ordinary further into the realm of the extraordinary. What we pass by without notice are reimagined to their maximum impact." Also Read: Met Gala 2026: The best-dressed men on the red carpet

"Dori, zardozi, chikankari, and kasab embroidery come together as a narrative. Woven into the piece are the names and signatures of the artisans themselves- a tribute to every hand and every moment that shaped it. Intricate hand-embroidery serves as a reference to Mumbai's cinematic landmarks, while three-dimensional sculptural elements celebrate the artisans of his atelier who crafted the piece. This look is both a celebration and a reminder - of where we come from, and how Indian craftsmanship continues to find its place on a global stage," he further added.<br>&nbsp;</p>
