Who said that dressing for Diwali requires an abundance of glitter, gold, and grandeur? Alia Bhatt made a valid argument for a subtler take on festive clothing by spending the occasion at Krishna Raj Bungalow with Ranbir Kapoor and their daughter Raha. Rather than opting for over-the-top festive wear, the actress donned a more subtle ethnic look comprising pastel shades that seemed equally sophisticated as well as celebratory.
Alia’s choice of accessories seemed old-fashioned, as she decided to wear big golden earrings, a decorative maang patti, and some colourful, bejewelled bangles to finish the look. Her hair was pulled back into a neat bun for the accessories, which became the star of her appearance. The beauty style matched it with its simplicity, where she opted for smooth skin, softly defined eyes, and a natural lip, which made the pastel colour scheme even more beautiful without conflicting with it.
Alia also revealed what she was doing on the day of Lakshmi Poojan while wearing stunning festive outfits, including her mother-in-law Neetu Kapoor’s green traditional attire. Ranbir Kapoor, on the other hand, remained traditional with a white kurta-pyjama, a simple outfit that looked perfect with Alia’s light green attire. Their daughter Raha also wore a white outfit like her father’s, which made it a perfect moment for a family photograph. One of the most beautiful shots from the collection is where Raha was kissing both her parents’ cheeks. Such candid moments add to the beauty of the photographs.
In another image, she was seen extending both her hands as a priest tied a holy thread on Ranbir’s wrist just before the Diwali puja.
