Kiara Advani’s Red Gown Bump Gets a Met Gala Callback

Kiara Advani’s second pregnancy is already giving fans a full-circle fashion moment. The new Koffee with Karan Season 9 trailer shows her sharing the couch with Sidharth Malhotra in a red gown, and one detail on the bump has set fans talking.

The silver star that sparked the comparison

The red gown carries a silver star right on Kiara’s baby bump. A fan shared a collage connecting it to her 2025 Met Gala appearance, arguing the star feels like a quieter nod to the umbilical-cord-inspired detail from her custom Gaurav Gupta look. “This star reminds me of the umbilical heart cord,” the fan wrote, adding that it now appears for the second baby.

Another fan put it even more pointedly: “The bump gets its own red carpet moment every single time.” Kiara reposted the comparison on her Instagram Stories with an evil eye emoji and a heart emoji, letting the moment speak for itself.

Why the Met Gala memory matters

At the 2025 Met Gala, Kiara became the first Indian actor to walk the red carpet while pregnant. Her Gaurav Gupta creation featured a sculpted gold breastplate with two hearts symbolising a mother and child, connected by an abstract umbilical cord. That look marked her first public bump reveal while expecting daughter Saraayah Malhotra. The Koffee star now reads as a continuation of that story.

What the episode promises

This is Kiara and Sidharth’s first time together on Karan Johar’s couch. The promo previews their wedding, married life and how they keep the romance going. When Karan asked how their date nights don’t stop at dessert, Kiara cradled her bump and replied, “Bas abhi ho gaya” (“That’s done now”).

From Shershaah to the Koffee couch

The couple’s story started on the sets of the 2021 film Shershaah. They kept the relationship private for a long time before marrying on February 7, 2023, in a private Jaisalmer ceremony at Suryagarh Palace. Now their next chapter is arriving in the most filmi way possible—with a bump that already has its own fashion lore.
