Before we begin, one must establish this—the number of plot holes in Student of the Year are more than you can count on your fingers. Having said that, we decided to watch the movie for the styling in it. Considering that the Dharma Productions film released in 2012, the outfits were pretty neat, even if you will never find a school where students carry Birkins, TBH. Styled by Manish Malhotra, the costume department also had Archana Walavalkar and Shiraz Siddique joining in, giving the launch vehicle for Alia Bhatt, Sidharth Malhotra and Varun Dhawan a new look that caught some attention back in the day.
Alia Bhatt’s Costumes In Student of The Year
Here’s taking a deep dive into Alia Bhatt’s debut film this #FlashbackFriday, the Karan Johar directorial that had its fine share of OTT moments with respect to fashion.
Closet Full Of Dresses
Throwing away the logic that her character attended a school in the film so a uniform had to be involved, Alia Bhatt was given a wardrobe that inclined towards party-worthy dresses, ranging from vibrant going-out picks to subtle and yet striking versions. Her introductory song saw her through numerous changes (which included luxury brands such as Dior, Manolo Blahnik, Prada, and more), a vivid pink version standing out in the montage. Subsequent songs saw the then 20-year-old wear more iterations, notably a red mini with corset detail and layers that gave it volume. Scroll to see some of them below.
Resort Wear Picks
The movie also dabbled in resort and swimwear in its holiday sequences, giving the actress some offbeat looks as opposed the tried-and-tested fits. A pink bodysuit worn underneath a white mini made an appearance, as did a yellow bikini with multiple layers added to her tropical look.
Indian Wear Wardrobe
Heavy lehengas and layering details were teamed with some new-age blouses and ornate dupattas for Alia Bhatt’s Indian wear wardrobe to show her attending a destination wedding in Student of the Year. Sleek and in-vogue, the featured looks came with makeup done by Mickey Contractor and were ideal for those who liked to go off the traditional route in a wedding or festive setting. Here’s taking a look at the actress’s look in the category.
Winter-Worthy Layers
Blazers were also a staple in the school uniform, somehow worn in a bizarre combination with casual and going-out looks (sorry about logic creeping back in at this point). And of course, the song that launched a hundred memes! The Ishq wala love sequence saw the actress in long coats and blazers that would fit right into your winter wear wardrobe even today. Take a look if you insist!
Student of the Year had some mythical version of a school, don’t you think! Though we sure didn’t mind the costumes.
