Over the years, we have seen many Indian artists show up at international red carpet events and turn heads. Whether it’s the mother of fashion, Deepika Padukone, or our very own desi girl, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, there has been something memorable but similar about their fashion choices. But this one Bollywood diva has been showing up and serving looks like it’s her main job. Alia Bhatt has taken Indian fashion to a global level with her effortlessly chic choices.

From international designers creating Indian pieces for her to showcasing modern luxury by Indian designers on international red carpets, Alia has been redefining the Indian global aesthetic one look at a time. Her fashion choices are not obvious; they are minimal but never boring. Her looks are rooted in culture but draped with a modern flair, making them globally fluent. And her recent Marilyn Monroe-inspired look for the Bafta Awards 2026 has been breaking the internet. So, here are some of Alia Bhatt’s best international looks, living up to the Indian global fashion dream that made us stop, stare, and applaud her choices.

1. Custom Gucci saree drape

This is one of the best fashion moments in the history of fashion, and Alia Bhatt totally owned the Cannes 2025 floor. The actor walked the red carpet in a nude-coloured custom Gucci saree, the first-ever Indian creation by the global fashion house. Keeping her signature dewy makeup and soft waves, Alia’s bejewelled Swarovski look was an ode to her Indian heritage.

2. Custom Sabyasachi saree

Hands down, one of Alia Bhatt’s best international looks of all time has to be her Met Gala 2024 look. The Bollywood diva looked ethereal in a custom Sabyasachi creation. The couture saree, The Garden of Time, features an exaggerated train. And her look was completed with Sabya’s Bengal Royal collection in tourmalines, sapphires, emeralds, and old mine-cut diamonds.

3. AJSK ajrakh print saree

Alia Bhatt graced the red carpet in Saudi Arabia for the Joy Awards in 2024 in a custom Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla saree. Creating an elevated Indian look, she paired the ajrakh print saree with a sleeveless blouse and a bronzy makeup look. To complement her intricate saree, she kept her hair in a half-updo and wore chandelier earrings, keeping her look glamorous and clean.

4. Custom Prabal Gurung ball gown

For her debut at the Met Gala in 2023, Alia chose a custom Prabal Gurung pearl-work white ball gown. Her gown featured 1,00,000 pearls, a delicate trail, and took inspiration from the 1992 Chanel bridal wear collection. The entire look was an homage to Karl Lagerfeld and featured everything he loved. Alia made a statement with dewy makeup and her signature half-up-half-down hairstyle adorned with a pearl bow.

5. Custom Gaurav Gupta couture

Making her debut at the Paris Fashion Week 2024, Alia Bhatt chose to wear a custom Gaurav Gupta couture outfit.

6. Vintage AJSK resham work saree

For the 2024 Hope Gala in London, Alia Bhatt wore a 30-year-old vintage ivory resham saree from Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla’s collection. The vintage piece was created in 1994 and features intricate, hand-embroidered floral work along with zari, resham, and pearls. To make the traditional look feel a little more modern, Alia wore a bespoke halter neck blouse with pearl strings and finished her look with emerald earrings.
