Indian businesswoman and philantrophist Sudha Reddy to wear bespoke USD 30,000 Tarun Tahiliani ensemble as she walks the red carpet of the Met Gala 2024 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York later today. The ensemble will include a Rs 80 crore heirloom necklace which comprises 30 solitaires totally upto 180 carats and a vintage Chanel bag which costs over USD 40,000. Reddy is one of the handpicked Indians that people will watch out for on the red carpet.

Ahead of the Met Gala 2024, the philanthropist and businesswoman has aligned her creative forces with the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This exciting collaboration will allow her to lend her valuable support to the Museum's mission of celebrating art's power to inspire and connect people across cultures, further reflecting the Museum's commitment to diversity, inclusion, and global engagement.

The Met is the world's largest and most visited museum of art, housing unparalleled collections spanning all cultures and time periods. Its holdings include over two million works of art, representing the broadest spectrum of human creativity from ancient Egypt to the twenty-first century. The Met's mission is to collect, preserve, interpret, and present outstanding works of art for the education and enjoyment of the public.

Reddy's attendance marks a much-awaited return, following her captivating 2021 debut in a sophisticated custom-designed Falguni Shane Peacock, which propelled her as a global fashion icon.

All eyes will be on Reddy to see how she interprets the Met Gala's 2024 theme of ‘The Garden Of Time' for her second showcase. The Met Gala is a star-studded event that not only celebrates fashion but also raises critical funds to support the Costume Institute's mission. Reddy's presence promises to be a highlight of the evening, as she embodies both style and a commitment to giving back.

While her impeccable fashion sense turns heads, she's a force to be reckoned with far beyond the runway. As director of Megha Engineering And Infrastructure Limited, she skilfully navigates the business world, showcasing her leadership and acumen. Yet, her influence extends far beyond the boardroom. A devoted mother and wife, Reddy also dedicates herself to extensive philanthropic work through the Sudha Reddy Foundation, UNICEF, Global Gift Foundation, Breast Cancer Research Foundation, Fight Hunger Foundation and Action Against Hunger.
