Alia Bhatt Stuns In Gorgeous Ensembles For Red Sea Film Festival

Bollywood sensation Alia Bhatt is undeniably turning heads in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, with a series of utterly gorgeous and high-fashion attires at the prestigious Red Sea International Film Festival (RSIIF). The actress, known for her versatile on-screen performances, is proving she is equally a force on the international red carpet, effortlessly serving both classic glamour and contemporary ethereal chic.

The star herself shared a carousel of stunning photos from her day in the Saudi Arabian city, captioning them: "A day in Jeddah, celebrating the magic of the movies."

Alia Bhatt's Vintage Black Balmain Gown

Alia Bhatt’s most-talked-about appearance from the festival should be permanently archived in fashion history. Stepping out in an exquisite, historically significant 1955 Pierre Balmain couture gown, all styled by her frequent collaborator Rhea Kapoor, the actress immediately channelled timeless Old Hollywood glamour.

The dress itself is a rare find, reportedly coming from Balmain's exclusive Florilège line, a limited collection introduced in 1952 that bridged the gap between haute couture and luxury prêt-à-porter. The gown, characterised by its elegant black hue, boasted a voluminous and dramatically flowing silhouette.

Alia completed the look with classic black stilettos and anchored it with a magnificent, sparkling statement diamond choker that perfectly framed her collarbones. Her beauty look was the epitome of refined elegance: a soft, dewy makeup base, rosy cheeks, subtle, glossy lips, and kohl-rimmed eyes, with her hair styled in classic, loose waves.

The outfit’s quiet drama was perfectly captured in a photo showing her standing elegantly on a balcony with the voluminous skirt of the gown flowing gently around her, a sight that captivated fans and critics alike.

Alia Bhatt's Ethereal Golden Globes Dinner Gown

For a special Golden Globes Gala Dinner event held during the festival, the B-town diva transformed into an ethereal vision, opting for a delicate and romantic aesthetic. She looked stunning in a strapless floral-patterned gown from Elie Saab's Couture collection.

The dress featured a beautifully draped bodice that cinched at the waist before cascading into a long, flowing train, adding soft movement to her presence on the red carpet. Allowing the elaborate floral design and her natural radiance to take centre stage, she kept the accessories minimal, opting for delicate pink gemstone earrings and subtle rings. Her makeup was fresh, soft, and luminous, letting her natural glow be the main attraction.

This stunning appearance was made particularly notable as the actress was at the festival to be honoured with the prestigious Golden Globe Horizon Award, a recognition of her significant and expanding international impact.
