Alia Bhatt wore a custom Gaurav Gupta sari threaded with strands of mogra that move with the drape rather than sitting on top of it as embellishments. The silk satin is left largely unworked, allowing the strands of mogra to take over the visual field as they trail from the shoulder down the length of the pallu.. The blouse carries the weight of the workmanship. Built with a structured bustier base, it is densely hand-embellished with pearls in varying sizes, creating a textured, almost tactile finish that catches light unevenly across the surface.. Stylised Priyanka Kapadia Badani accessorised the custom sari with a diamond choker from Alok Lodha and earrings from Raniek.. Styled by Amit Thakur, her hair is worn in loose, centre-parted waves with soft volume through the lengths. Makeup by Puneet B Saini focuses on warm, diffused eyes with a soft bronze-brown shadow and close-lined definition, paired with separated lashes, brushed brows, a rose-beige lip and skin that catches light along the cheekbones.. From Vogue’s fashion desk:. “Knot the hair up into a messy bun with a few strands loose and add a bindi. Pair the outfit with oversized and oxidised silver bangles to break the monotony,” says Manglien Gangte, Vogue India fashion associate.. Also read:.
