Alia Bhatt’s latest sartorial pick from the shelves of Arpita Mehta is a careful study in refined glamor. Donning a custom ivory saree splattered with detailed thread embroidery in shades of blue, Alia Bhatt proved that quiet elegance is always a hero. The saree’s craftsmanship draws from age-old Bandhani patterns and is brought to life with muted blue and silver work, creating an effect that feels equal times airy and graceful.
What caught our attention was how she was thoughtfully accessorized. The Kriti clutch by Meera Mahadevia, an ornate and vintage-coded piece that highlights the handcrafted soul of the outfit.
For footwear, she chooses Fizzy Giblet’s Petals and Prosecco heels, introducing a subtle hint of playfulness while also staying true to the neutral palette. The Amrapali Jewels completes her look; a statement choker offers old-world charm and the pared back earrings and finger rings maintain the sophisticated charm of the look.
True to the theme of understated elegance, hair and makeup are kept minimal. A sleek bun frames her face, while dewy skin, softly defined eyes, and a muted lip enhance her natural glow without stealing focus from the ensemble.
Styled by Ami Patel, Anaita Shroff Adajania, Dhriti Chokshi, and Trisha, the look is a quiet triumph. It celebrates Indian craftsmanship through a modern lens, reminding us that sometimes, the most powerful style statements are the ones made softly—yet leave a lasting impression.
Alia Bhatt Keeps Coming Back to Ivory—and We’re Not Complaining
A Bridal Classic, Styled for a Historic Night
Stunner, trendsetter, diva—and an outfit repeater too. Yes, you read that right. Alia Bhatt doesn’t follow fashion rules; she rewrites them. While outfit repetition isn’t new to India, she’s among the rare few in the industry boldly leading the shift, and doing it with effortless grace. Making heads turn at the National Film Awards in 2023, the actor restyled her ivory Sabyasachi wedding saree, proving timeless fashion deserves more than one outing. Accessorized with pearls, a soft floral bun, and understated desi glam, the look felt ceremonial yet completely contemporary.
A 1994 Heirloom, Reimagined for Today
For another appearance, Alia Bhatt chose a rare vintage Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla ivory saree . Crafted in 1994 over 3,500 hours, the heirloom drape showcased intricate resham florals, rich zari work, and subtle crystal embellishments, paired with a modern halter-neck tulle blouse that added a contemporary edge.
Old-World Cinema, Softly Reimagined
Alia Bhatt was a vision for her appearance at the opening of the Raj Kapoor Film Festival in Mumbai. Embracing cinematic nostalgia, she bedazzled in a custom white Sabyasachi sari. Featuring pastel floral and leafy prints with a muted lavender-and-pink border, the drape paid a subtle homage to Raj Kapoor’s golden era. Styled with a delicate pearl choker centred with an emerald, dewy makeup, and softly waved hair, the look felt timeless, understated, and beautifully in tune with the occasion.
Retro Revival, But Make it Modern
While promoting Gangubai Kathiawadi, Alia Bhatt turned into an old-world painting that also spoke the language of the contemporary. She stepped out in an ivory organza silk saree by Punit Balana, richly detailed with coin embroidery and resham patra work, paired with a sleeveless embroidered blouse accented with subtle leather embellishments. Polki stud earrings added a touch of vintage glamour, while dewy makeup, softly defined eyes, a pink lip, and a tiny black bindi completed the effortlessly retro yet fashion-forward moment.
