Alia Bhatt’s Faraz Manan set came with a statement cape 

Photographed playing the perfect bridesmaid and shaking a leg with the bridal party post the nuptials, Alia Bhatt was spotted in a pastel sharara by couturier Faraz Manan. Unlike traditional sets, it came with a blush pink bralette and fit-and-flare pants, both embellished with metallic sequins and crystal work at the hem and the waist respectively.

The floor-length cover-up, featuring an open-back detailing, was enhanced with glass bead work and thread embroidery as geometric designs.

For her beauty look, makeup artist Riviera Lynn paired a luminous base with shiny lips and shimmery eyeshadow and a brick red lip. The result was a look you’ll want to recreate for festive occasions. To round off, she chose a pair of metallic heels.

Alia Bhatt’s collection of fail-safe basics and elevated essentials offers plenty of scope for sartorial inspiration. When it comes to Indian wear staples, she is known to think out of the box and experiment with unique silhouettes. From playful blouses to unique separates, she has made a case for wearing them all. Bright colours, too, are her go-to for traditional outfits. Her picks for actors Anushka Ranjan Kapoor and Aditya Seal’s wedding in Mumbai in November 2021 are proof. After choosing a neon green Manish Malhotra lehenga with that much-talked about underboob-style blouse, Bhatt relied on a sharara set by the same designer that came with a sexy blouse and intricate details. With the wedding season around the corner, here’s the style you’ll want to bookmark for a pre-wedding celebration.

Did you notice the floral embroidery on Alia Bhatt’s sharara set?

Alia Bhatt, who has been a close friend of the bride Anushka Ranjan Kapoor for years, went all out for the wedding celebrations with her outfits. Her vibrant pink sharara, worn for the couple’s pre-wedding festivities, worked as a lesson in giving a 70s twist to kurta + flared pant looks. The separates consisted of a sharara pant and a crop top, all embroidered with pretty floral thread work in shades of yellow, green, blue and pink. Instead of a kurta top, her top was a sexy corset blouse—one that can be easily styled with saris and lehengas later. The look was paired with a sleeveless jacket cover-up, rather than a cumbersome dupatta.
