Alia Bhatt’s much-awaited Gangubai Kathiwadi is all set to hit the screens on February 25th. Given that it is a Sanjay Leela Bhansali creation, our expectations are high with this one. That said, we’d have to wait until the movie’s release to say for certain if the film maestro has delivered again. However, there is something that can get an unconflicted thumbs up from us even right now—Alia Bhatt’s look for the film. To our absolute delight, the influence of Gangubai’s style can be spotted in the actress’s outfits for the film’s promotion events as well.
Just earlier today, Alia took to Instagram to post pictures of her in an ivory saree and it’s safe to say that this, hands down, is her best look from the film’s promotions. Here’s everything about it that has us lovestruck:
Alia Bhatt’s Pristine Saree Look
Alia Bhatt has been keeping it pristine with her arsenal of white and off-white fits for the promotions of Gangubai Kathiawadi. She has continued the streak with her latest outing that features an ethereal Punit Balana saree and a sleeveless blouse. The body of the organza saree has been left clean and it is only at the border that we detect a touch of delicate coin embroidery and resham patra work. The organza silk saree has been paired with an embroidered blouse enhanced with unique leather detailing and embellishments. The actress’s ensemble has been finished off with polki studs, red roses, and a complementing lippie.
We’d have to take a moment here to give a shoutout to Ami Patel for doing justice to Alia’s status as a mega-star and making her look the part. We love how it is a perfectly balanced look that registers the instant you lay eyes on the actress. It is classic and impactful. However, the USP here has to be its imitability—the secret ingredient of every iconic celeb outfit.
To recreate Alia’s glorious ivory saree look, all you’d need is a solid drape, a sleeveless blouse and the right pair of polki studs The Punit Balana saree that Alia has worn is available on the designer’s website for Rs. 37,500:
However, if you are looking for something more affordable, we’d recommend this Kalki Fashion offering that is almost similar to Alia’s saree aesthetically:
Those who’d like a little more opulence should check out this pure tissue saree by Banaras-e-thaan. We love the gold zari finish and if you are not into silver embellishments, then this one has to be your pick:
If you want to look like Alia but also want to bring an individual appeal to the outtfit, this scalloped saree by Swtantra would be our recommendation:
Once you have decided on a saree, all you’d need is a pair of striking studs to elevate the outfit. Our choice would be these emerald and solitaire polki studs by RK Jewellers:
Once you have pinned the essentials, just call on for a couple of fresh roses and you’d be good to go.
Yes, a simple saree, studs, and some roses are all that it’d take for you to look as steller as Alia Bhatt for the next big event. Now, isn’t that impressive?
