Alia Bhatt dazzles in edgy ’90s-inspired looks
Her first look sets the tone with a textured gold metallic jacket that’s almost sculptural in its design. Featuring exaggerated shoulders and a cinched waist, the piece radiates power and confidence, while pairing it with relaxed-fit denim balances the luxe with the lived-in. Pointed-toe Gucci monogram boots ground the outfit, adding a touch of classic logomania to this avant-garde ensemble.
Next, Alia embraces voluminous athleisure in a satin-finish coral bomber jacket. The oversized sleeves give the outfit a sporty yet dramatic flair, while accessories like a striped baseball cap and a chunky silver waist chain transform basic light-wash jeans into a high-fashion street statement. This look is a masterclass in how a few key accessories can elevate an entire outfit.
From sleek minimalism to leopard corset
In her third ensemble, Alia proves that sleek minimalism can still have an edge. An all-black long-sleeved bodysuit paired with baggy jeans perfectly captures 90s minimalism, while a chunky gold link belt and matching necklace provide the necessary pop. The contrast of the fitted top with wide-leg denim creates a flattering silhouette that works perfectly from day to night.

Perhaps the most daring look is a leopard-print sheer corset that leans into Alia’s sultry side while maintaining playfulness. Wearing the corset off-the-shoulder adds a romantic, slightly undone feel, while pairing it with everyday denim and a statement belt keeps the look accessible and youthful.
Across all her ensembles, Alia expertly blends high-fashion elements with street-ready staples, showing that edgy, bold styling can still feel effortless and wearable.
On the work front
On the professional front, Alia Bhatt last starred in and produced the 2024 film Jigra, alongside Vedang Raina. She is set to appear in the upcoming YRF spy thriller Alpha with Sharvari and Bobby Deol, and also has Love & War, co-starring Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal, lined up.
