Alia Bhatt becomes the first Indian global ambassador for Gucci.

The Bollywood celebrity who made her successful debut at the Met Gala recently was announced as the first Indian global ambassador for the Italian luxury house Gucci.

According to a report by the Hindustan Times, the Gangubai Kathiawadi actor will make her first appearance as the brand's latest global ambassador at the Gucci Cruise 2024 show, to be staged in Seoul next week and which will take place at the city's Gyeongbokgung Palace.

"The show will mark the fashion house's 25 years in the country," the article read.

The news was confirmed by Gucci on Thursday on their social media handles, "#AliaBhatt is the House’s newest Global Brand Ambassador. To mark the occasion, the actress, producer, and entrepreneur was captured with the #GucciBamboo1947 bag."

“I’m honored to represent the house of Gucci not only in India but at a global stage. Gucci’s legacy has always inspired and intrigued me and I’m looking forward to the many sartorial milestones we create together,” said Alia Bhatt on Gucci's announcement.

The announcement comes days after the actor made a successful debut at the Met Gala 2023.  Alia wore a custom-made white gown featuring a long train and about 1 lakh pearls and crystal embellishments by global designer Prabal Gurung. Her outfit was inspired by supermodel Claudia Schiffer's 1992 Chanel bridal look.

Alia's Met Gala outfit was hand-embroidered in India on silk tulle and made at Atelier Prabal Gurung in New York.

Alia Bhatt will be next seen in Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani alongside Ranveer Singh and will soon make her debut in Hollywood alongside Gal Gadot and Jamie Dornan in Netflix's spy thriller Heart of Stone.
