Styled to perfection, Alia Bhatt’s all-white ensemble proves tradition can also be fun and modern
Alia Bhatt Makes Farshi Salwar Feel Fresh In An All-White Torani Look And Pearl Chandeliers
Alia Bhatt proves yet again that nothing is more powerful than a simple look done right. For a recent outing, she chose to wear a traditional Indian ensemble by Torani. In a palette of soft whites, the actor wore a custom suit built around the classic Farshi salwar which looked elegant and fluid.
A farshi salwar, unlike the regular version, is known to be a voluminous garment that has an extremely wide, floor-length flare, inspired by Persian and Mughal royalty. Since the fabric drapes like a carpet, it gets the name farshi (‘farsh’ meaning “floor”) and is paired with a long kurta for an elegant, regal look.
Alia’s kurta is delicate and feminine, crafted in sheer ivory with intricate lace embroidery tracing the neckline and sleeves. It skims the body softly, layered over a matching inner, and flows into the volume of the salwar. The dupatta, edged with scalloped lace, moves like air.
Then come the details we really love. Alia Bhatt opts for pearl chandelier earrings by Hanut Singh, who has become almost synonymous with quirky pieces that sit at the intersection of traditional and modern looks. Adding to the look are pointed embroidered juttis by Needledust, which keep the look grounded in craft, while gold rings offer a subtle contrast.
Her beauty look stays effortless as always. Hair is pulled back into a sleek ponytail, letting her features shine. She boasts luminous skin, softly defined eyes, a hint of blush on her cheeks and nude lips, making the look polished, but never overdone.
Alia has always stunned in white, regardless of whether she goes traditional or modern with it. Last year, at the premiere of Aryan Khan’s much-anticipated Ba***ds Of Bollywood, the actor resurrected one of the most legendary pieces in Gucci’s history: the closing look from Tom Ford’s Fall/Winter 1996/97 collection, first made famous by Kate Moss nearly three decades ago.The dress, an ivory jersey gown with daring side cut-outs and the now-iconic oversized G-buckle belt, was originally shown at Gucci’s Milan runway in 1996.
