Alia Bhatt has had a good run. She’s spent the year establishing a niche for herself with stylish, traditional silhouettes, from her green peplum look at Netflix’s Tudum event to her pearl-encrusted dress at the Met Gala. She is currently back in India promoting her most recent movie, and each of her several promotional outfits has one thing in common: vivid, bright hues.
Bhatt recently uploaded a number of pictures of herself wearing a specially made Manish Malhotra sari. The sari, which was fuchsia with lime-green trim, had a modern blouse with a deep scooped back and a pallu that was draped traditionally. She wore a vivid sari with straightforward Shyle jhumkas, parted her hair in the centre, and opted for natural-looking makeup and a dark bindi.
Even while Bhatt had the most profound influence on design with her bridal ensemble—a white Sabyasachi dress that inspired a number of neutral lehengas in upcoming wedding seasons—her role in bringing colour and vibrancy to traditional clothing is frequently underappreciated. Bhatt’s own cutesy and brilliant style complements Manish Malhotra’s flair for daring silhouettes and distinctive hues, and the two have created several iconic outfits with halter tops, deep purples, and eye-catching mirror work. The successful pairing of Malhotra and Bhatt has always been evident in this look.
