Actress Alia Bhatt made a fashion-forward statement in a black saree at designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee’s special show to commemorate 25 years of her namesake in Mumbai on January 25.

Alia, who wore the famous couturier’s designs for her wedding day and one of her Met Gala looks, was wearing a Murshidabad silk saree with a subtle bodice. While the detailing of her silk saree was plain, the embellished sleeveless blouse stole the show.

It boasted rich embroidery and was also adorned with hand-painted appliqués, semi-precious stones and sparkling elements.

As for her glam, she kept it simple with a dewy base and nude lipstick. Her kohl-rimmed eyes, a dainty black bindi, and a side-parted hair bun with soft curls added a hint of drama to the look.

Several Bollywood stars, including Sonam Kapoor, Bipasha Basu, Ananya Panday, Rani Mukherjee and Aditi Rao Hydari, visited the venue wearing stunning black ensembles to celebrate 25 years of Sabyasachi.
