At the grand launch of the WAVES Summit 2025 in Mumbai, Alia Bhatt turned heads with her bold tribute to Maharashtrian heritage, reinterpreted through a contemporary fashion prism. The actress wore a modern take on the classic nauvari saree, shining in bright hues of pink and orange.
Alia’s attire was taken a notch higher by a bold plunge-neckline top that combined sophistication with fierceness, reflecting her penchant for merging heritage with fashion-forward dressing. Posting her look on Instagram, Alia captioned, “WAVE-ing at you! From cinema to gaming, from craft to tech… our stories, our talent, our vision, ready to lead. P.S. tell me how you like my #MaharashtraDay special look.”
Her appearance was accessorized with simple yet sophisticated drop earrings and chic block heels, while her makeup included a radiant base, subtly lined eyes with kohl, and a soft nude lip. Alia finished the traditional look with a sleek bun, lending elegance and authenticity to her Marathi-inspired look.
