Alia carried a lace umbrella while walking outdoors, bringing a regal, almost European summer-romance feel to the appearance. She styled the outfit with soft waves, minimal jewellery and dewy makeup.

Alia’s red carpet moment

The actor’s latest appearance comes a day after she made headlines for her glamorous Cannes red-carpet debut this year. For the opening ceremony and premiere of The Electric Kiss, Alia wore a dramatic couture gown by designer Tamara Ralph. The blush-toned outfit featured a sculpted corset silhouette, sweeping train and flowing chiffon scarf inspired by vintage Hollywood glamour.

The standout element of Alia Bhatt’s red-carpet look was a custom necklace crafted with an extraordinary 168.27 carats of rare pink coral. At its centre sat a remarkable 5.53-carat Golconda Type IIa diamond, known for its exceptional purity and rarity. She completed the jewellery look with square Asscher-cut diamond earrings from Chopard.

Alia’s first look from the French Riviera

Before her red carpet appearance on day one, Alia had also stepped out in a custom creation by designer Yash Patil. Inspired by 1950s couture silhouettes, the look featured a fitted bodice with angular detailing, a drop waist and a voluminous skirt layered with silk organza and tulle. The ensemble was elevated by hand-painted artwork created by Ahmedabad-based mural artist Basuri Chokshi, inspired by the French Riviera and its dreamy landscapes.
Soft glam makeup, rosy tones and side-swept hair styled into a loose bun completed the romantic aesthetic of the look.
