Bollywood actor Kiara Advani has found another way to make her pregnancy announcement a talking point in the world of fashion. The actor, who is expecting her second child with husband Sidharth Malhotra, recently appeared in the new trailer for Koffee With Karan Season 9, flaunting her baby bump in a striking red gown featuring a silver star detail.
But it was not just the outfit that caught everyone's attention. Fans quickly spotted a possible connection between the star on her latest look and the symbolic design of the gown she wore to the 2025 Met Gala, when she made history by walking the red carpet while pregnant with her first child.
A fan shared a collage of the two outfits on social media, pointing out the resemblance between the silver star on Kiara's Koffee With Karan gown and the umbilical-cord-inspired detail on her Met Gala ensemble.
“This star reminds me of the umbilical heart cord when Kiara was pregnant with Saraayah and now the star for the little baby,” the fan wrote.
Another fan drew attention to how both of Kiara's children have had a red carpet moment before their births. “The bump gets its own red carpet moment every single time,” the fan commented.
Kiara appeared to appreciate the comparison. She reshared the fan's post on her Instagram Stories, adding an evil eye emoji and a heart emoji. Her reaction further delighted fans, who saw the two outfits as a special connection between her pregnancies.
From the Met Gala to Koffee With Karan
Kiara's 2025 Met Gala appearance was a major fashion moment. She became the first Indian actor to walk the event's red carpet while pregnant. For the occasion, she wore a custom creation by designer Gaurav Gupta.
The ensemble featured a sculpted gold breastplate with two hearts representing a mother and child, connected by an abstract umbilical cord. The design gave her pregnancy announcement a symbolic fashion statement, making the outfit one of the most talked-about looks of the event.
Now, the silver star on her red Koffee With Karan gown has prompted fans to revisit that moment. While Kiara has not explained whether the latest detail was deliberately inspired by her Met Gala outfit, the comparison has added another layer of meaning to her appearance.
Kiara and Sidharth bring their chemistry to Koffee With Karan
The upcoming episode will mark Kiara and Sidharth's first joint appearance on Karan Johar's popular chat show. The trailer offers a glimpse of the couple discussing their wedding, married life and ways of keeping romance alive.
One exchange has already caught viewers' attention. When Karan asked how they made sure their date nights did not end with just dessert, Kiara held her baby bump and replied, “Bas abhi ho gaya (It is done).”
The playful response gave fans a glimpse of the couple's sense of humor as they prepare to welcome their second child.
A love story that began on the sets of Shershaah
Kiara and Sidharth's relationship began while they were working together on the 2021 film Shershaah. The two kept their romance largely private before getting married on February 7, 2023, in an intimate ceremony at Suryagarh Palace in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan.
In February 2025, they announced that they were expecting their first child. Their daughter, Saraayah Malhotra, was born in July that year. The couple announced Kiara's second pregnancy on October 7, 2026.
With her latest appearance, Kiara has once again brought together fashion, motherhood and a little red carpet nostalgia. And for fans who remember her symbolic Met Gala look, the silver star on her latest gown has made this pregnancy moment even more special.
