 "Met Gala 2024: Indian CEO stuns with magical butterfly dress, pics go viral")
Indian fashion entrepreneur Mona Patel made her debut at Met Gala 2024, the biggest fashion night. Her look was an unexpected success at the mega event. She looked stunning in her animated butterfly gown. Patel was unanimously praised for her looks on social media, and judged to be among the best looking guests at the Met Gala.
Mona Patel made her debut appearance with custom Iris Van Herpen. Her floor-length gown featured kinetic butterflies on the sleeves that slowly fluttered their wings as she moved across the red carpet. Her dress perfectly matches the Met Gala theme of 2024, i.e., ‘The Garden of Time’. The dress Patel donned was full of sculptural elements, the fabric, the scalloped train and some other movie butterflies.

Hollywood renowned stylist Law Roach styled entrepreneur Patel for the Met Gala 2024 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. It was a magical moment as she arrived wearing a gorgeous gown at the event on the red carpet.
Patel told Vogue India in March that she wanted her debut look to be something that represents and “celebrates her heritage and combines her love couture,” after she heard about the theme. "Iris Van Herpen seemed like the obvious choice," she added.
Patel and Law Roach visited Mumbai earlier this year with Iris Van Herpen team members for a factory visit and chose the jewels that adorned the entrepreneur on the red carpet.
