We’ve waited too long for the most exciting of festivals, and it’s finally here. Bringing in the added joy of an extra-long weekend, Diwali is definitely going to be the highlight of this week. And while you look forward to spending time with your friends and family, be sure to do so in style.
Be it Kalank promotions, her bestie’s wedding nuptials or Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations, Alia Bhatt has put her best fashion foot forward this season. From beautiful saris to dainty yet flirty shararas, the star’s ethnic wardrobe is full of Diwali-ready ensembles. Here we take you through how Alia has worn the four most popular Indian silhouettes lately.
The sari
For informal gatherings, stick with solid hues and minimalistic work. Lean towards print-heavy or textured options. Like Alia Bhatt’s two-tone bandhini sari by Tarun Tahilliani, or a light hand-painted and breathable organza saree like Picchika’s.
The anarkali
Fuss-free yet dressy, the anarkali is a reliable choice. Bhatt’s off-white Manish Malhotra would fit right in at a family puja. And for day gatherings, Sabyasachi’s printed florals promise you won’t go unnoticed.
The lehenga
If you want to go all out this Diwali, a lehenga is the perfect pick for you. Alia’s midnight black Shyamal Bhumika look made a statement with heavy zari work and floral pops, as did her yellow and blue Anita Dongre number.
The dainty suit set
Want to wear a suit set without looking like a middle-aged relative? Opt for a dainty kurta slip paired with sharara or palazzo pants, just like Alia’s white Anita Dongre set or a darker hued Sabyasachi one.
