Alia Bhatt is that celebrity saree girl who effortlessly blends romance, tradition, and a touch of Gen Z cool in every drape. She has her way of making sarees feel young, fresh, and effortless, like slipping into something familiar but exciting. From the Met Gala to movie promotions and from red carpets to global runways, her saree selections are always a blend of dreamy textures and soft palettes while keeping the glamour.

Here’s a look at some of her best saree moments and how you can recreate that magic with sarees from Singhania’s.

Alia Bhatt’s Met Gala Floral Saree – A Dreamy Fairy-tale Look

Alia’s Met Gala debut wasn’t just about showing up; it was about showing up differently, straight out of a storybook. She made sure to look unique; unlike choosing the usual gowns, she walked the carpet in a soft pastel floral saree, styled like a modern-day princess. Designed by Sabyasachi, the sheer saree featured 3D floral embellishments, delicate hand embroidery, and layers of tulle that looked straight out of a lively garden. The muted tones and soft glam makeup gave the entire look an ethereal, fairy-tale vibe. It felt classic but also totally new, and in this way, her saree moment has already gone down in fashion history.

 

To recreate this fairy-tale vibe, look for sheer pastels in organza or tulle with floral embroidery and a fluid drape. Keep the blouse minimal, and let the saree take centre stage.

The Magic of Floral Embroidery – Alia Bhatt’s Romantic Saree Choice

Floral embroidery has always been a part of our Indian craftsmanship, and it has been quite a recurring theme in Alia’s wardrobe, and she gives it that cool spin. Whether it’s tiny threadwork roses or bold 3D blooms, her sarees lean into the softness of florals without being overly girly. It adds dimension, texture, and that dreamy factor—perfect for everything from weddings to red carpet events.

 

• The floral details in her Met Gala look were not just pretty; the saree carried a handcraft, almost heirloom charm that made the saree feel emotional, not just fashionable.
• Think of the ivory saree she wore for a film promotion—subtle threadwork, soft flowers, and a dash of old-school charm. It's simple, but it says a lot.

Pastel Elegance – Why Alia’s Saree Color Palette Stands Out

While everyone else is going bold, Alia’s sticking to calm, pastel hues, and honestly, it’s refreshing. From blush pinks to mint greens, her saree picks create a soft, clean aesthetic that feels modern without being flashy. The pastels don’t overpower the embroidery or the silhouette—they let the craftsmanship shine. It's a gentle reminder that elegance doesn’t always have to shout.

Her little secret has always been keeping things light and breezy. Pastels in flowy fabrics like chiffon, georgette, or tissue create a soft, youthful look that works across day and evening occasions.

A Perfect Blend of Traditional and Contemporary Fashion

Alia’s looks always balance something old and something new. It was the traditional form of the saree, with Indian embroidery techniques but it was styled with contemporary flair. The sheer layering, and flowy pallu gave it couture vibe. This isn’t just about wearing a saree—it’s about how you wear it. Alia showed the world that Indian fashion can be global, stylish, and still rooted in culture.

Remember the handwoven ivory saree she wore with oxidised jewellery and a bindi?
It was just simple, rooted, and super chic.
