A small detail in Kiara Advani’s latest television appearance has brought back memories of one of her most talked-about red-carpet moments.
The actor’s baby-bump look in the new ‘Koffee with Karan’ trailer has drawn comparisons with her 2025 Met Gala outfit, prompting a warm reaction from her, reports Hindustan Times.
Kiara, who recently announced that she is expecting her second child with husband Sidharth Malhotra, appears in the upcoming episode of Karan Johar’s chat show. She wears a red gown with a silver star attached near her baby bump.
A fan noticed a resemblance between the star and the umbilical-cord-inspired detail on the outfit Kiara wore to the 2025 Met Gala.
The fan shared a collage of the two looks, suggesting that both outfits gave her babies a special moment in the spotlight even before their births.
Kiara reshared the post on her Instagram story, adding an evil eye emoji and a heart.
At the 2025 Met Gala, Kiara became the first Indian actor to walk the event’s red carpet while pregnant.
She wore a custom creation by designer Gaurav Gupta, featuring a sculpted gold breastplate with two hearts representing a mother and child, joined by an abstract umbilical cord.
Her latest appearance also marks her first joint outing with Sidharth on ‘Koffee with Karan’. The trailer offers glimpses of the couple discussing their wedding, married life and relationship.
During a playful exchange, host Karan asked how they made sure their date nights did not end with dessert. Kiara held her baby bump and replied, “Bas abhi ho gaya”, drawing laughter from the others.
The couple also revisited memories from their wedding. Kiara recalled how actor Shahid Kapoor had joined Karan on stage during the celebrations, only for the filmmaker to push him off.
Kiara and Sidharth fell in love while working together on the 2021 film ‘Shershaah’. They married on 7 February 2023 in an intimate ceremony at Suryagarh Palace in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan.
They welcomed their first daughter, Saraayah Malhotra, in July 2025. The couple announced their second pregnancy on 7 October 2026, sharing the news with fans on social media.
