Mona Patel made a jaw-dropping return to the Met Gala blue carpet this year, grabbing attention with her daring style and unique flair. The Indian-American entrepreneur turned heads in a bold black outfit by designer Thom Borne.
Her ensemble included a sharply tailored suit layered over a halter-neck shirt. The beaded corset bodice pulled it all together, giving a sculpted look that was both elegant and edgy.
But the showstopper? A robot dog named Vector walked beside her, linked by a diamond-studded leash—a cheeky nod to Borne’s famous Hector Bag.
Accessorizing big, Patel wore a whopping 1,000-carat diamond bowl necklace. A kinetic spine piece, a dramatic hat, and sleek Rene Caovilla heels added more drama to her look.
Mona Patel isn’t just about fashion. She’s a Harvard, Stanford and MIT alum who runs businesses across tech, real estate, and healthcare. She’s also big on empowering women and promoting education through her project, Couture for Cause.
From walking global stages to collecting haute couture, Patel blends brain and style like few others. Her return to the Met Gala proves she’s not just watching trends—she’s making them.
