From playing the ultra-glam Shanaya Singh in her debut film ‘Student of the Year’ to portraying the fierce Indian spy Sehmat Khan in ‘Raazi’, Alia Bhatt has come a long way. The actress has evolved into one of this generation’s most versatile artists, and her acting brilliance has amassed an enormous fanbase. It’s not just her talent that makes Alia India’s sweetheart; it’s also her onscreen aesthetics. From intricately designed ethnic attires to glamourous evening wear, Alia has served some major OOTD inspirations! We foresee the beginning of the vibrant ombre saree era, thanks to her onscreen styles in the latest romance drama by Karan Johar, Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani, which releases this Friday, 28th July 2023. We got you curious, didn’t we? Here are some of Alia’s most iconic desi looks to draw inspiration from in a time of need.
- The vibrant yet minimal look in Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani
Alia’s impressive ensemble of sarees in Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani will make you envious! This multi-coloured drape paired with bedazzled blue blouse is neither too tacky nor too simple; it’s just perfect! If a minimal yet desi chic look is what you want, then this is your inspiration.
- The ivory Navratri look from Gangubai Kathiawadi
We loved all the looks in this film, but this outfit has our hearts! Alia, as Gangu, is making a statement in her ivory saree, lightly decked with red embroidered florals, and we see her character’s fierce personality yet pure soul shining through here. Paired with the red rose, bindi, golden choker and the golden ambience, we cannot help but be mesmerised by Alia in the song Dholida.
- Alia’s bridal attire in 2 States
When a South Indian girl marries a North Indian guy, it gives birth to some of the most stunning wedding looks, and Alia’s bridal avatar in 2 States is the proof! With the red half saree and gold jewellery, mainly the kamarpatta, the gajra and the chuda, this iconic bridal look is one of India’s most sought-after bridal looks.
- The stunning black bridesmaid lehenga in Badrinath Ki Dulhania
In the song Ashique Surrender Hua from Badrinath Ki Dulhania, Alia sings, “Look hai mera awesome, adaye beautiful hai…” and we agree! Wearing dark outfits at Indian weddings is rare, which makes this beautifully embroidered black lehenga stand out. Like Alia, be a trendsetter and pull off dark ethnic looks in today’s otherwise vibrant or pastel wedding looks.
- The shimmery silver and pink number in Student of the Year
This was the look that made us fall in love with Alia the very first time, the look that started a shimmery cocktail lehenga trend when this film launched. This trendy shimmery lehenga in silver and pink with a golden embroidered border perfectly brought out the youthful yet classy image of Alia’s character Shanaya. The minimal makeup and accessories help tone down the glitter in this outfit.
