some are special enough to become family keepsakes While many festive outfits are worn once and tucked away. Alia Bhatt’s recent Diwali look is one such example. Blending the richness of Banarasi craftsmanship with a contemporary Indian silhouette, the actor made a strong case for bringing traditional textiles into festive wardrobes. She wore a gold Banarasi jacket suit by designer Mayyur Girotra, showing just how effortlessly heritage fabrics can work for modern celebrations.
Alia Bhatt went for a different option and wore a long kalidar jacket in Banarasi material for the special occasion. Customised by Mayyur Girotra, this outfit for Alia has its unique and traditional yet modish edge at the same time. Mayyur Girotra shared photos of the Bollywood actress on social media, stating that Alia Bhatt’s outfit commemorates the essence of modern India, based on the eternal magnificence of our history. He wrote on his Instagram, “Designed by Mayyur Girotra and styled by @priyankarkapadia exclusively for this special evening, the ensemble features a gold-woven Banarasi, crafted into a kalidar jacket, adorned with a More Bagh tree of Life motif from the Archives – intricately rendered in Kora embroidery. He further added, “The real enamel and diamond buttons add a touch of understated opulence, paired with tailored pencil pants. A celebration of India’s rich textile legacy, reimagined through a contemporary lens. Keeping our old-school crafts and heritage alive while bringing them into the language of modern India.” (Image Credits: Instagram) With real enamel and diamond buttons, the designer managed to bring understated opulence to this custom gold jacket featuring full sleeves and a V-neckline.

Her outfit was complemented by simple hair with a middle parting and smooth hair. Her makeup was minimalist and youthful, with gold glitter on her eyes, nude brown lips, and blush on cheeks.
