Actor Kiara Advani, who recently announced her second pregnancy, will appear on the ninth season of Karan Johar’s chat show, Koffee with Karan. The show’s makers released a trailer on Tuesday featuring Advani alongside her husband, actor Sidharth Malhotra. In the promotional clip, Advani is seen wearing a red gown that features a silver star accent positioned over her baby bump.
Following the release of the trailer, social media users began comparing the outfit to the ensemble Advani wore at the 2025 Met Gala.

Fans created collages comparing the star on her current gown to the cord-inspired design from her 2025 appearance, noting that both looks highlighted her pregnancy.
Advani acknowledged the comparison by reposting a fan’s collage on her Instagram stories, accompanying the post with an evil eye emoji and a heart emoji. During her appearance on Koffee with Karan, the couple discussed their life since their marriage, which took place on February 7, 2023, at the Suryagarh Palace in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan.
