Draped in a deep forest green, Alia Bhatt brought effortless sophistication to Anshula Kapoor's wedding reception. The actress wore a handwoven Benarasi silk Masara skirt by Anita Dongre, which fused traditional artistry with modern elegance. The richly embroidered lehenga featured delicate floral and golden bird motifs, while the sleek, structured blouse accentuated her silhouette with an elegant backless detail.
Styled by Priyanka Kapadia Badani and Khushi Nimbalkar, the actor took a softer, more understated take on festive wear, proving that impeccable tailoring and traditional textiles can be as eye-catching as haute couture.
Bhatt completed the look with statement gold chandelier earrings from Jagdish Jewelers Chandigarh, a subtle bindi and soft, wavy hair that cascaded over one shoulder.
The set, valued at Rs 130,000, celebrated Indian craftsmanship without falling into excess. Done in a rich forest green, Masara's ensemble featured a sleeveless top with an elegant sweetheart neckline that framed her shoulders beautifully. Intricate gold floral embroidery shimmered across the bodice, while the matching flowing Banarasi silk skirt featured delicate woven motifs that added movement and texture.

Alia wore her hair in softly defined waves parted on the side, creating a timeless frame for her face. Her makeup focused on luminous skin, softly sculpted cheeks, subtle bronze-toned eyes, and muted nude lips.
This set by Anita Dongre exemplifies the designer's signature blend of traditional craftsmanship and contemporary ease. Luxurious Benarasi silk, woven on traditional looms, carries centuries of cultural heritage, but the modern cut (short blouse paired with a voluminous, high-waisted skirt) feels fresh and wearable for today's celebrations. Alia's choice reflects a growing preference among style-conscious celebrities for meaningful luxury that honors Indian textile traditions without excess.
The deep green hue flatters your complexion beautifully, while the gold accents add just the right amount of festive sparkle. It's a reminder that true elegance often lies in thoughtful details rather than overt drama.
