Alia Bhatt serves a lesson in sustainability by repeating her Mehendi lehenga

Alia Bhatt proved she's not just a fashion icon but also a champion of sustainability at the Diwali celebration hosted by Manish Malhotra on October 22nd. Rewearing the pink lehenga she donned for her mehendi ceremony, Alia made a bold statement in an industry often criticized for its fast fashion.

Her beautiful pink lehenga set featured a sleeveless cropped blouse with an inverted hemline and a flared skirt designed by Manish Malhotra. He had actually designed this one piece using around 180 bits of textiles, each bearing some technique-barring block printing, intricate embroidery, and each one holding a personal significance for Alia.

This gorgeous lehenga brought forth gorgeous Kashmiri and Chikankari artistry, with all the talented ladies of Mijwan putting in 3,000 hours of work. The artistic touch came in the form of Banarasi silk, jacquard, and Kachha Resham knots, coupled with portions of Alia's earlier ensembles and memorabilia from Malhotra's vaults. Alia transformed her pre-wedding outfit into this gorgeous Diwali outfit.


Her accessories-including striking chandbalis and moletos adorned bangles-added a festive touch, perfectly in harmony with her outfit. Alia's make-up focused on a refreshed glow-the shiny lips, blushy cheeks, and soft pink eyeshadow that indicated a natural beauty. The sleek bun did justice in the overall outlook, letting the craft of her lehenga and accessories shine.

True to her version of Alia Bhatt, yet again, Alia demonstrated that sometimes extravaganza is not required at all to be breathtaking. Her sustainable choices blended with a lot of traditional elegance touched with just a hint of modern glam defined her look entirely for Diwali.
