Happy birthday to Alia Bhatt! Here’s looking at her style files

From a petite little girl, albeit with massive presence, in Student of the Year in 2012 to Brahmāstra: Part One – Shiva, we’ve seen her acting chops evolve beautifully. We’ve also seen her sartorial choices evolve as she grew from film to film, building her personality in front of us, thriving as the strong woman and a mother she is today. Here’s looking back at her last decade through her choices in fashion.

For her close friend Anushka Ranjan’s wedding festivities in 2021, Bhatt wore Indian styles throughout. This yellow number had caused a sensation when fans saw her pictures. Swipe to see more looks.

For one of the Diwali evenings, Bhatt chose to champion this lehenga set on which karigars have embroidered names of children of Art Of Living schools. Needless to say, the lehenga took months of hard work to materialise.

We can see the safety in choices here, as she shines in this Raw Mango ensemble, on the sets of a popular singing reality show. This was also 2017.

Moving to 2016 during Kapoor & Sons, again, we clearly see her child-like enthusiasm and personality in her looks. She’s wearing mass luxury brand h&m – unheard of for stars today – and a relatively smaller label Sachin & Babi.

In fact, even during the time she  shot for Highway in 2014, she looked liked a young college girl, looking so different than we’re used to seeing her presently.
