Alia Bhatt’s recent appearance at the National Film Awards ceremony in New Delhi made waves as the actress donned her wedding saree to receive the Best Actress award for her remarkable performance in ‘Gangubai Kathiawadi’. The acclaimed actress, known for her impactful roles on screen, made an equally impactful sustainable fashion statement by choosing to re-wear her cherished wedding saree for the prestigious event.
In an Instagram post, Alia Bhatt shared the heartfelt reasoning behind her sartorial decision, emphasizing the importance of embracing sustainable fashion practices. “A special day calls for a special outfit. And sometimes, that outfit is already right there. What’s special once can be special again. And again…,” she wrote, encouraging her followers to embrace the idea of “repeat, reuse, and re-wear” when it comes to their clothing choices.
Alia effortlessly reimagined her contemporary ivory Sabyasachi wedding saree, elevating the look with a messy floral-adorned hair bun, bold kohl-rimmed eyes, defined brows, and a striking red bindi. The addition of a sleek pearl choker and elaborate ear studs perfectly complemented the ensemble, accentuating her elegant appearance.
Her fashion stylist, Ami Patel, also commended Alia for setting an exemplary standard by showcasing the art of refreshing looks with a renewed perspective. “Wearing your own wedding sari for your first National Award is the finest example you can set for the world to repeat their looks with a fresh take and look as breathtaking as ever,” Patel expressed.
Alia Bhatt’s sustainable fashion choice serves as a powerful reminder that revisiting cherished outfits can not only evoke nostalgia but also contribute to a more sustainable and environmentally conscious approach to fashion.
