Indian billionaire Sudha Reddy made an appearance at the 2024 Met Gala — and her look is worth millions.

On Monday, May 6, Reddy — a Hyderabad-based businesswoman who is married to P.V. Krishna Reddy — stepped out on the red carpet of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in an ivory silk gown that features dozens of flowers, embroidered flowers and a hand-corseted bodice with a tiny self-portrait of herself holding a rose.

Complementing her dress, the centerpiece of her look is her massive, glimmering "Amore Eterno" necklace. Estimated to be worth about $10 million, the piece is from the billionaire's personal jewelry collection.

According to a press release, the necklace features 25 diamond solitaires that total more than 180 carats. The jewelry piece also includes one 25-carat and three 20-carat heart-shaped diamonds, connected by 21 more round diamonds.

Reddy's dress is also a work of art, designed by Indian couturier Tarun Tahiliani. It features "hand-carved mother-of-pearl flowers, symbolizing luminosity and permanence, while 3D butterflies symbolize the cycle of life," according to the release. The dress' silk draping alludes to flower petals, a nod to this year's dress code "The Garden of Time," inspired by a short story by J. G. Ballard.

The billionaire first made her Met Gala debut in 2021. Per reports from the Hindustan Times that year, she sported a star-spangled, golden gown from designer Falguni Shane Peacock in honor of that year's "In America: A Lexicon of Fashion" theme.

The dress featured a train adorned with Swarovski crystals, sequins and bugle beads, and her bodice included gold and silver sequins. She completed the look with a pair of golden Chanel high heels.

This year, stars including the Gala's co-chairs Zendaya, Jennifer Lopez, Chris Hemsworth and Bad Bunny stepped out on the red carpet to embody the evening's “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” theme inspired by Ballard's short story.
