Have a sari like Alia Bhatt's dazzling Diwali drape? Take care

A Kapoor family gathering is never just a family gathering. It's a series of fashion moments. When Kareena Kapoor Khan hosted her annual festive bash at her Mumbai home, the guest list was Bollywood royalty - and Alia, married to Kareena's cousin Ranbir Kapoor, was dressed in stunning gold.

Styled by Rhea Kapoor, Alia wore a rose-gold silk sari from Ritu Kumar's archives, a piece so special it first came to life over three decades ago. The sari, intricately embroidered with silver tikki work in delicate floral patterns, has oldworld charm with a modern edge. Rhea described it best: “Remembering the Silk Road... a piece of fashion history preserved in thread.”

But leave it to Alia to make history so good. She paired the drape with a sleeveless bustier blouse, featuring a plunging neckline, and threw on a matching embroidered jacket for that extra bit of flair - part regal, part rock star.
