Decoding Alia Bhatt's Gucci look

Taking cues from cinema icon Marilyn Monroe, Alia sashayed down the red carpet in a breathtaking silver sequinned dress, custom-made by luxury fashion house Gucci. The halter-neck ensemble featured a figure-hugging silhouette, bold cuts on the sides and a daring backless pattern.

The gown was completely decked up in intricate silver sequins and shiny embellishments, catching every light as she walked. Alia, who's also the first Indian Global Brand Ambassador for Gucci, added couture drama and elegance with a white faux fur stole.

Styled by celebrity stylist Rhea Kapoor, Alia accessorised with a pair of dangling silver earrings, statement diamond rings and pointed heels. Her makeup was equally glowing, with a luminous base, rosy cheeks, shimmering eyes and nude lips, while a middle-parted soft wavy hairdo rounded off her couture look.
