Alia's white silk saree features scalloped borders all over the pallu and borders and comes adorned with sequinned and thread embroidery. The diva draped the six yards around her body in a traditional style, allowing the pallu to hang from her shoulder in a floor-grazing length.

The 28-year-old star, who is dating Ranbir Kapoor, wore the six yards with a sleeveless white blouse adorned with Chikankari embroidery, sequinned patterns, a wide U neckline and a plunging back.
