Ananya Birla’s ‘Bronze Woman’ look at Met Gala after-party goes viral, netizens call it ‘winner’

After making a stunning red carpet debut, Ananya Birla continued her fashion trend at the Met Gala after party, this time looking like what many are calling the “Bronze Woman”. Celebrity stylist Rhea Kapoor revealed her second look of the night, which instantly caught everyone’s attention online, with netizens praising her bold and artistic approach.

Ananya’s after-party outfit titled “The Bronze Woman – The Aftermath I” was a couture creation by Ashi Studio. The outfit sparkled with custom jewels, including yellow diamonds and a signature cognac diamond set in the bodice, giving the look a molten, sculptural effect. The metallic tones and intricate detailing made her look like a living bronze statue, matching perfectly with the artistic spirit of the evening.

She accessorized her look with exclusive pieces from Renique Jewels, adding a rich, luxurious touch to an already statement-making outfit. The look was shown when she attended the exclusive Cartier Met after-party in New York, further cementing her status as one of the night’s most notable attendees.

Earlier, for her red carpet debut at the Met Gala 2026, Ananya wore a dramatic all-black couture outfit by Robert Wun in which she embraced the “fashion is art” theme. The outfit featured a sharply tailored jacket with a bold peplum silhouette, paired with a sweeping pleated skirt, creating a sculptural, architectural form.

However, the most talked-about element of her look was a stunning metallic mask designed by Subodh Gupta. Made of stainless steel, this mask completely hid her face, turning her into a moving art installation and much talked about in fashion circles.
