Talking about the design of Alia’s ensemble, the kaftan dress has a flowy silhouette for an effortless look. It comes in a sea green hue and features a V neckline adorned with a contrasting pink band, quirky pattern done all over in a grey shade, flared long sleeves decked with gold embroidered patchwork and pink gota patti, side slits, pleats on the front, and an ankle-length hemline.

Alia accessorised the kaftan dress with oxidised silver jewellery to amp up the elegance quotient. She picked statement rings and heavy jhumkis. In the end, Alia chose a dainty bindi, sleek black eyeliner, mascara on the lashes, glossy nude lip shade, dewy base, blushed cheeks, centre-parted open wavy locks, and on-fleek brow for the glam picks. The Darlings actor’s pregnancy glow was a cherry on the cake.

Meanwhile, starring Alia Bhatt, Shefali Shah, and Vijay Varma, Darlings is a black comedy. The film is directed by Jasmeet K Reen, with Alia Bhatt turning producer for the first time. It is slated for a release on August 5 on Netflix.
