Maye Musk rang in her 77th birthday with timeless grace and signature poise and she did it in Mumbai, draped in the couture splendour of Sabyasachi. The Canadian-born supermodel and mother of Tesla CEO Elon Musk chose a radiant blush pink ensemble from the Indian designer’s atelier, effortlessly blending global elegance with homegrown craftsmanship.
For the intimate celebration, Maye’s look was nothing short of regal. Her full-sleeved, floor-length gown was meticulously embroidered with delicate sequins and hand-threaded motifs, a perfect showcase of Sabyasachi’s dedication to traditional Indian artistry. The gown’s subtle shimmer caught the light with every movement, lending her a celestial glow. Draped over her shoulder was a sheer dupatta, soft and fluid, adding an ethereal finish to the already enchanting silhouette.
Jewels, of course, were chosen with as much care as the outfit itself. Maye accessorised with statement earrings from Sabyasachi High Jewellery – large, gleaming, and rich in detail. Their antique finish and intricate design elements drew from India’s regal past, yet sat effortlessly on her modern frame, echoing the designer’s signature aesthetic: heritage with a global heartbeat.
Though thousands of miles away, her son Elon Musk made sure to mark the day with a heartfelt gesture. A stunning bouquet arrived at her Mumbai residence, sent all the way from the tech mogul himself. “Thank you, Elon, for sending these beautiful birthday flowers to me in Mumbai. Love m,” she posted on X, pairing the note with a soft-smiling photo that radiated maternal pride and joy. Elon responded, simply: “Love you, Mom. Thanks for everything.”
The birthday celebration felt deeply personal and deeply stylish. Known for her fearless fashion choices and age-defying presence, Maye Musk has been rewriting the rules of glamour for decades. But this Sabyasachi moment in Mumbai wasn’t just another look; it was a bridge between tradition and modernity, much like Maye herself.
At 77, she remains a symbol of ageless elegance, a woman who continues to live boldly, dress brilliantly, and, as her memoir suggests, always makes a plan. And this time, that plan led her straight into the heart of Indian couture.
