Alia Bhatt Exuded Royalty On The Joy Awards Red Carpet In An Artistically Draped Saree

Alia Bhatt kick-started her red carpet moments of 2024 with a royal look. Known for celebrating India and its crafts through versatile and handcrafted silhouettes, Alia Bhatt draped not one but two traditional, rich in culture, Indian sarees on the Joy Awards 2024 red carpet. The stunning Alia Bhatt was spotted in a statement couture Ajrak saree by Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla.

The Ajrak sari with gold sequin embroidery, paired with an additional ajrak drape was styled by celebrity stylist Rhea Kapoor. Alia’s desi yet contemporary avatar was not just fashionable but also gave the people of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, a glimpse into the world of Indian sarees.

Alia’s ensemble featured not one but two sarees, which included one saree which she draped and another which was styled giving an illusion of a long train. The saree train was strategically pinned onto the back of her blouse and also daintily wrapped around her wrist. A theatrical look for the red carpet, Alia detached the saree from her wrist to use it as a train when she went to receive the award.

The rust and blue colour palette of the two sarees was enhanced with gold embellishments embroidered intricately on the saree giving it a subtle sheen.

Crafted with Ajrakh prints, the saree played the perfect role of celebrating Alia’s Indian roots and the styling exuded global domination. She paired the stunning saree with a strapless blouse which added a contemporary and glamourous twist to the traditional look.

Keeping her makeup minimal, she accessorised with a pair of stunning dangling gold earrings with intricately designed extensions pinned to her hair.

Alia Bhatt has also attended the Red Sea International Film Festival in Saudi Arabia, in December 2023, and exuded glamour and grace in two stunning gowns.

Recognised for her contribution to global cinema, Alia Bhatt was bestowed with the Honorary Entertainment Makers Award at the Joy Awards 2024 in Riyadh. After accepting the award, Alia Bhatt in her speech shared her love for cinema with the audience present at the ceremony and also thanked Joy Awards for recognising talents from across the globe and bringing them all under one roof.
