Did you also love what Alia Bhatt was wearing on Diwali 2025? Many confused netizens have been trying to decipher what Bhatt wore for her ghar wali Diwali. Styled by Rhea Kapoor, Alia wore a gorgeous Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla outfit that was essentially a kurti with a saree-like skirt.
Here is a breakdown of Alia’s look.
For Diwali 2025, Alia Bhatt wore a delicate light pink chikankari kurti featuring intricate embroidery and a plunging neckline. She paired the gorgeous kurti with a green chiffon skirt that gave the illusion of a draped saree.
Alia accessorised the ensemble with exquisite gold jewels, including a pearl-adorned floral choker necklace and a ring. She put her hair in a centre parting, securing half her locks with gajras to add a desi touch.
She went for the minimal makeup look, including a glossy pink lip shade, mascara-adorned lashes, winged eyeliner, golden eyeshadow, and blush-tinted cheeks.
Rhea shared Alia’s pictures and wrote, “@aliaabhatt wears an @abujanisandeepkhosla Kurta and Lungi hand embroidered in the most special shadow work for the auspicious festival of lights. Drawn in real time by my @sandeepkhosla and brought to life by the house and its inimitable artisans, she embodies effortless Indian heritage and luxury. styled with @sanyakapoor the most beautiful antique basra pearls @bmjewellerskol make up @rivieralynn hair @mikedesir photos @aviraj.”

Fashion watchers couldn’t help but draw parallels between this ensemble and the traditional Rajasthani Lacha. Many Redditors asked if Alia and Rhea have revived the Rajasthani Lacha look.
For the uninitiated, the Lacha is a lighter version of the lehenga. The traditional attire is less flared, more practical, yet equally elegant. It’s traditionally paired with a longer blouse or kurta-style choli, and is donned during festivities.
Alia’s modern interpretation, though contemporary in cut and colour, mirrors the essence of the Lacha.
The rise of fusion ethnic wear in Bollywood wardrobes has made space for reimagined classics like the Lacha. Designers are increasingly experimenting with silhouettes. Recently, we spotted ‘The Archies’ actor Khushi Kapoor in a gorgeous skirt-saree look. She wore the attire for her appearance on 'Bigg Boss' last year.
Whether or not this outfit officially marks the Lacha’s comeback, one thing is clear — it’s setting a new benchmark for festive dressing. Would you wear a kurti with a skirt like Alia?
