At Mumbai’s Durga Puja hosted by Kajol and Rani Mukerji, Alia Bhatt made a memorable appearance. She arrived late in the evening, blending elegance with festive spirit. Notably, she skipped loud colors for subtle sophistication. Instead, her outfit made a statement through refined tones and careful detailing.
The Outfit: Pista Green & Crème Drama
Styled by Rhea Kapoor, Alia wore a custom Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla ensemble. However the highlight was a pista green Dhakai Jamdani saree, draped in a Gujarati style. The saree featured crisp pleats, and a bold gold-and-silver border framed the look.
Meanwhile, she paired it with a crème-hued chikankari blouse that had bronze piping accents. The blouse’s delicate handwork added texture without overpowering the saree.
Accessories & Styling Choices
She accessorised with red bangles to nod to tradition. Her eyes were lined with kohl and she opted for more dramatic eye makeup. Overall standout piece was her kanuatis by Sunita Kapoor, which lent a vintage luxe touch. Every choice worked together — nothing felt random or excessive.
Social & Festive Moments
On Instagram, Alia shared images from the evening. One major shot was a group selfie featuring her with Rani Mukerji. She captioned the post simply: “Light. Love. Shakti.”
Therefore this was not her first Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla moment. Previously, she had worn their designs to events like the Joy Awards in a brick-and-blue drape.
Why the Look Resonates
Firstly, her color palette is surprising yet elegant. Pista and crème are soft, subtle shades rarely chosen for grand festive events. Yet she trusted their sophistication. Secondly, the balance of rich borders, delicate embroidery, and handwork brings contrast. Third, her styling — from jewellery to makeup — enhanced rather than distracted.
In a season often dominated by heavy and bright outfits, Alia’s restrained, elegant approach stands out. Her choice suggests confidence in underplayed glam rather than over-the-top spectacle.
