Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor have been espoused. The two tied the knot on April 14, and there’s been a lot of conversation about their much-anticipated wedding. Ever since then, from witnessing the duo officialise their love for one another on the balcony they shared much of their relationship on, to watching Ranbir hold up a photo of the late Rishi Kapoor in the middle of their Mehendi ceremony in a tear-jerking moment, we’ve seen it all.
And, of course, we noticed how Alia ditched the conventional Indian bridal look by emulating an overall neutral aesthetic, and epitomised her passion for minimalism in her approach to both, her makeup and ensembles. The 29-year-old actress chose to extend the less-is-more philosophy to her ‘dos as well. And as simple as they are, they’re statement-making from every angle. Brides-to-be and bridesmaids to the gorgeous brides, this one’s for you. We’re breaking down 3 of Alia’s head-swiveling hairdos for you to ring in the summer-wedding season with.

The Bridal Hairdo
Alia deviated from the conventional Indian bride aesthetic by fashioning her look with an ivory-hued, star-studded Sabyasachi sari, and chose to ditch the trademark gajra-laden bun to revel in a simple ‘open-hair-complemented-by-light-waves’ moment. And the hairdo seamlessly played into the minimalism of the look—as her tresses cascaded down her neck, and grazed her shoulders softly. This one doesn’t require much meddling. All you have to do is add a few waves to your hair with a curling iron to lend a little bit of volume and oomph to the overall look, and bedeck your tresses with a hand-woven tissue-veil (brides-to-be, please note) to conclude the style.
The Mehendi Hairdo
The Mehendi was nothing short of magical—a day of love, light, and peace made special by the star couple twinning with each other in red. Alia chose to let her hair down, but with a twist – literally! Two face-framing strands of hair were twisted into thick three-way braids, and pinned to the back delicately. The look was dramatised with a chunky, forehead-grazing maang-tikka that balanced the simplicity of the ‘do. You can add a few waves to the ends of your hair to play into the look.
The Post-Wedding Bash Hairdo
And this one further cemented her love for simplicity. Even though the post-wedding bash was anything but low-key, cue shots of guests arriving in glitter-laden ensembles late into the night, Alia chose to accompany her star-studded dress with a simple center-part glamourised by some breezy, fuss-free waves.
