When it comes to Bollywood brides, we expect them to go the OTT route with their attires, simple ‘coz this has been the case most of the time. Remember Priyanka Chopra’s peppermint green saree or Deepika Padukone’s regal red and gold dupatta? However, Bollywood’s nayi dulhan Alia Bhatt is not here to adhere to the idea of what a newlywed should look like!
Alia Bhatt’s Oh-So-Gorg Salwar Suit Is Totally Giving
We recently caught a glimpse of Alia’s first appearance post her wedding and we were left completely floored. Staying true to her minimalistic aesthetics, the actress opted for a breezy blush pink-coloured cotton salwar suit by Devnaagri’s Sehr collection and dainty jhumkas. Her understated outfit with flowy dupatta is eexactly we want in our closet for the summer. Sorry Miranda Priestly, but florals in summers might not be ground-breaking but they are every bit beautiful, right Alia?
Of late, there is an evident shift in the modern-day woman’s sartorial choices—especially when it comes to Indian ethnic wear and Alia’s latest fashion pick represents it all. Instead of going for heavy makeup and bright colours, the actress kept her whole look simple yet chic. The Highway actress’ gorgeous jutti heels and statement Christian Dior tote have made their way to our wishlist for sure!
And let’s be honest—after 4 days of non-stop festivities, every bride needs a breather and Alia’s outfit is the perfect pick for it. You can wear it for a brunch date with your girlfriends or an evening stroll with your bae, this outfit is something every fashionista needs to have in her wardrobe.
Alia’s Look Is Every Bit Gorgeous But…
While Alia’s attire left us all impressed, not everyone had the same thoughts. Just as the actress’ pictures surfaced online, many people trolled the actress for not looking like a ‘nayi dulhan‘ or ‘looking too simple for a newlywed’.
There is a lot to unpack here! Every woman has the choice to dress up according to her choice, and nobody else’s option is valid or necessary.
Alia’s style has always been understated and elegant, and she doesn’t need to change a thing to fit in the stereotype of a ‘nayi dulhan‘. It is high time that social media trolls ask themselves why are women supposed to look a certain way after shaadi, whereas men get a free pass for their fashion picks?
We love how Alia has stayed true to her style and we hope to see more of her on the ‘Gram. ‘Coz no one can pull off the perfect salwar suit look as effortlessly as our Aloo!
