Jaipur princess Gauravi Kumari made a stunning debut at the Met Gala 2026 in a gown crafted from her grandmother Gayatri Devi’s saree. Alongside the titular Maharaja of Jaipur Sawai Padmanabh Singh, who wore an intricately embroidered velvet coat, the duo celebrated Jaipur’s royal heritage through fashion rooted in legacy and craftsmanship.

It wasn’t just Karan Johar making his much-talked-about debut at the Met Gala 2026, Indian royalty arrived in full force too. Making an elegant first appearance, princess Gauravi Kumari and the titular Maharaja of Jaipur Sawai Padmanabh Singh (fondly known as Pacho) brought Indian regal legacy to the global stage, blending heritage with high fashion in the most personal way.

Gauravi in reimagined grandmother’s saree

For her first appearance at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Gauravi revived her grandmother Gayatri Devi’s old saree, which was transformed into a flowing gown. Designed in collaboration with Prabal Gurung, the look retained the soul of the original soft pink chiffon drape while evolving into a structured silhouette fit for the red carpet.

Her jewellery followed the elegance of her grandmother’s iconic style. Layers of pearls took centre stage, complemented by uncut diamonds and rubies sourced from Jaipur’s famed ateliers, as reported by Vogue. Ear chains, stacked bangles, and rings added a regal finish, while tonal heels, glowing makeup and sleek hair completed the look without overpowering the ensemble.
