Alia's black velvet and net saree features intricate gold embroidery on the borders and taar embellishments. While the pallu of the saree is velvet, the skirt is sheer net. The actor draped the six yards traditionally around her svelte frame, letting the pallu fall from her shoulder in a floor-sweeping length. She teamed it with a matching sleeveless velvet blouse featuring shoulder straps, a wide plunging neckline, a fitted silhouette, a cropped hem, and a deep-back design.

Alia chose striking jewels by Sabyasachi with the black velvet saree. She opted for a layered pearl choker necklace and matching earrings adorned with a black precious stone. Lastly, she rounded off the ethnic look with a messy low bun, high heels, feathered brows, mascara on the lashes, rouge on the cheekbones, deep red lip shade, and subtle eye shadow.

Meanwhile, Poacher will be out on Prime Video India on February 23.
