Actress Alia Bhatt made a fashion-forward statement in a black saree at designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee’s special show to commemorate 25 years of his eponymous brand in Mumbai on January 25.
Alia, who wore the celebrated couturier’s designs for her wedding day and also one of her Met Gala look, turned up wearing a Murshidabad silk saree paired with a micro choli. While the expanse of her silk saree was plain, the embellished sleeveless blouse stole the show.
It boasted rich embroidery and was also adorned with hand-painted appliqués, semi-precious stones, and sparkling elements.
Take a look:
As for her glam, she kept it simple with a dewy base and nude lipstick. Her kohl-rimmed eyes, a dainty black bindi, and a side-parted hair bun with soft curls added a hint of drama to the look.
Several Bollywood stars, including Sonam Kapoor, Bipasha Basu, Ananya Panday, Rani Mukerji, and Aditi Rao Hydari, turned up at the venue wearing stunning black ensembles to celebrate 25 years of Sabyasachi.
New mom Deepika Padukone, meanwhile, opened the show for the designer in a monochromatic look featuring ivory separates, opera gloves, and a layered statement jewels.
Known for his regal ensembles and opulent stores, Sabyasachi left no stone unturned in putting up an extravagant show and turned the event into a majestic Kolkata-inspired setup.
