Alia Bhatt just proved that a birthday party outfit doesn't need to be loud. For daughter Raha's fourth birthday, the actress picked a soft floral mini dress. It looked pretty, easy and perfect for a day spent chasing a four-year-old.

Raha turned four on November 6. Alia shared pictures from the celebration on Instagram, calling her daughter "our little unicorn." The party had a pastel theme, with a blue camper van, balloons, bunting and a Bluey-inspired cake.

Alia Bhatt's Dress At Raha's Birthday

Alia wore the Mirabel dress by Summer Away. According to the brand's website, it costs Rs 8,720. The dress comes in a pale base with small, scattered florals in muted pink and brown tones.

The shape is relaxed. It has a V-neckline with a neck tie detail, wide bell sleeves and a tiered, ruffled mini skirt. The fabric is light and flowy, so it moves well and doesn't cling. That is exactly what you want when you are cutting cake and posing for family photos.

Alia kept everything else simple. Her hair was left open and loose, and she wore small earrings. There was no heavy jewellery and no bold makeup. Her last picture of the set shows her laughing, with one arm raised and a small blue gift bag in hand, in front of the "Raha's 4th Birthday" backdrop.

Where To Buy Alia Bhatt's Floral Mini Dress?

The Mirabel dress is listed on Summer Away's official website, where Rs 8,720 is the price mentioned. Sizes and stock can change quickly after a celebrity look goes viral, so check the website for availability before you plan around it.

If the price feels high, you can look for a similar piece. Search for a floral tiered mini dress or a bell sleeve georgette dress on Myntra, Ajio or Nykaa Fashion. Many Indian brands sell similar silhouettes between Rs 1,500 and Rs 4,000. Look for soft pastel shades and a small print, because that is what gives the dress its gentle look.

How To Style A Floral Mini Dress Like Alia Bhatt?

Keep the dress as the hero. A loose, floral piece with ruffles already has a lot going on, so the rest of the look should stay quiet.

For daytime parties and brunches, pair it with white sneakers or flat strappy sandals. Add a small sling bag and you are done. Open hair with a soft wave works best, or a low ponytail if it is warm.

For an evening do, switch to block heels or kitten heels in nude or tan. Stud earrings or small jhumkas look good here. A thin belt at the waist can also help if you want a little shape.

Colour matters too. Pick a lip shade in soft pink or peach, and keep the eyes light. Dewy skin suits this look more than a full matte base.

If you are heading to a festive get-together this season, you can also layer the dress with a light shrug or a short embroidered jacket. It gives the outfit a bit more polish without taking away the easy feel.
