The intersection of Bollywood royalty and international cinema reached a shimmering peak this season. As the world turned its eyes to London for the ceremony, Alia Bhatt's BAFTA Debut became the talk of the town. Making her highly anticipated first appearance, the global star didn't just represent Indian cinema; she redefined red-carpet elegance. In a look that felt like a love letter to the Golden Age of cinema, Alia proved that she is a fashion enthusiast, capable of channeling one of the world’s most remarkable style icons.
A Vision in Silver: Alia Bhatt’s BAFTA Debut
Making her grand debut at the BAFTAs, Alia Bhatt didn’t just walk the red carpet; she owned it. Stepping out as a global ambassador for Gucci, the actress chose a custom-made silver sequined gown. The sparkling texture captured the camera’s flash at every turn, marking her arrival on the prestigious London stage with undeniable grace as she presented an award.
Channeling Marilyn: The Inspiration Behind the Look
The highlight of Alia’s look was the unmistakable nod to Hollywood legend Marilyn Monroe. By pairing her sleek Gucci gown with a voluminous white fur stole, Alia recreated the "Old Hollywood" aesthetic that Monroe made famous. With her hair styled in soft, retro waves and a radiant makeup look, Alia captured the essence of 1950s glamour.
