Alia Bhatt’s mirrorwork Ajrakh saree Is proof less is more at Akansha Ranjan Kapoor’s wedding
When it comes to wedding guest dressing, few do understated glamour quite like Alia Bhatt. At her childhood friend Akansha Ranjan Kapoor’s wedding celebrations, the actor delivered yet another memorable fashion moment, this time in a handcrafted ajrakh saree that celebrated Indian craftsmanship without relying on excessive sparkle.
Styled by Rhea Kapoor, Alia’s latest appearance proved that artisanal textiles, thoughtful styling and timeless silhouettes continue to dominate celebrity wedding wardrobes.
A Saree That Lets Craftsmanship Take Centre Stage
For one of the wedding festivities, Alia chose an ajrakh saree by Nidhi Tambi Kejriwal, richly embroidered with resham threadwork and intricate mirror embellishments. Instead of overwhelming the look with heavy styling, the handcrafted textile remained the hero.
The charcoal-toned drape came alive through vibrant mirror motifs in ruby red, emerald green, saffron and pink, creating an almost mosaic-like effect. The coordinated full-sleeved blouse featured a flattering sweetheart neckline and a daring low-back silhouette finished with colourful tassels, lending the traditional ensemble a youthful edge.
Jewellery That Balanced Heritage and Glamour
Keeping the styling rooted in traditional Indian jewellery, Alia accessorised with ornate chand bali earrings by Chand Begum Jewels, an antique enamel bracelet stack, a delicate maang tikka by A Jewels by Anmol and a statement ring. A vintage-inspired embellished clutch from The Pink Potli completed the ensemble, while a tiny black bindi, sleek centre-parted hair and luminous skin ensured nothing distracted from the craftsmanship of the outfit.
It was maximalism executed with restraint, a signature Rhea Kapoor styling move.
Her First Wedding Look Was Equally Memorable
This wasn’t the only standout fashion moment from the celebrations. Earlier in the festivities, Alia embraced a softer aesthetic in an unreleased collaboration between Ekaya Banaras and Ashdeen. The ensemble, featuring luxurious Banarasi textiles elevated with Ashdeen’s signature embroidery, leaned into quiet elegance rather than embellishment overload. Styled with an Indraneel bag by Meera Mahadevia, statement earrings by Alok Lodha Jewels, a necklace from Akoya Jewels and rings from Amrapali Jewels and P.C. Totuka & Sons, the look showcased a more classic interpretation of festive dressing. Together, both outfits reflected two distinct moods, one richly handcrafted and celebratory, the other refined and timeless, cementing Alia’s status as one of Bollywood’s most consistently elegant wedding guests.
Akansha Ranjan and Alia Bhatt’s Friendship
Akansha Ranjan Kapoor’s wedding itself was an intimate yet star-studded affair that beautifully balanced tradition with modern elegance. The actor tied the knot with filmmaker Sharan Sharma in a private ceremony attended by close family and friends, including longtime best friend Alia Bhatt, before hosting a glamorous Mumbai reception. While the wedding embraced understated charm, the celebrations quickly became a fashion spectacle, with celebrity guests serving up memorable ethnic looks. Among them, Alia emerged as one of the best-dressed attendees, effortlessly switching between two distinct ensembles—an artisanal ajrakh saree and an elegant Banarasi collaboration, proving once again why she’s become Bollywood’s reigning bridesmaid style icon.
