Radiant, regal, and resplendent—Alia Bhatt stole the spotlight at the WAVES Summit 2025 in Mumbai with a jaw-dropping tribute to Maharashtrian heritage. Dressed in a richly hued Nauvari saree, the beloved star embodied the essence of a true Marathi mulgi, effortlessly blending tradition with contemporary grace and glamour.
Sharing her exquisite look on Instagram, Alia captioned the post: “WAVE-ing at you! From cinema to gaming, from craft to tech… our stories, our talent, our vision, ready to lead. P.S. tell me how you like my #MaharashtraDay special look.”
Her ensemble was a visual symphony of vivid pinks and fiery oranges, crafted into a perfectly draped Nauvari saree that celebrated cultural beauty with a modern edge. The focal point—a daring, plunge-neckline blouse—added a sophisticated allure, balancing elegance with bold femininity.
Alia’s beauty look was equally enchanting. She wore her luminous skin with a radiant, dewy finish, softly kohled eyes that exuded depth, and a barely-there nude lip that let her natural glow shine through. Her hair was styled into a neat, elegant bun, highlighting her graceful features and enhancing the traditional aesthetic.
Accessorized with delicate drop earrings that sparkled with understated brilliance, and chic block heels that added just the right amount of modern flair, Alia looked like poetry in motion.
Fans were left breathless. One admirer wrote, “Gangu chand thi aur chand hi rahegi,” referring to her iconic role in Gangubai Kathiawadi. Others praised her as “a vision of grace” and “the epitome of beauty and power.”
By her side was husband Ranbir Kapoor, who cut a handsome figure in a classic green Nehru-collared kurta and black trousers. The duo radiated style and substance, emerging as one of the most elegant couples of the evening.
The WAVES Summit 2025, inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, serves as a prestigious platform to spotlight India’s spiritual and creative economy—from cinema and crafts to gaming and technology—celebrating the confluence of tradition and innovation.
What’s Next for the Radiant Star?
On the cinematic front, Alia Bhatt is all set to dazzle in Alpha, an action-packed Yash Raj Films production alongside Sharvari. Fans are also eagerly awaiting her reunion with Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s magnum opus Love & War—a project already buzzing with anticipation.
