Mumbai/IBNS: Bollywood star Alia Bhatt has revolutionised her dress code for Diwali celebrations with her family including actor husband Ranbir Kapoor and close friends as she paired her kurta with a 'lungi' type wrap for the festivities.

Alia dropped a set of images from her Diwali night where she bonded with her family members and close friends.

The 32-year-old donned a soft pastel (light pink) chikankari (traditional embroidery) kurta, sheer in places, with a relaxed silhouette.

The bottom half was draped in what resembles a "lungi-style" wrap or skirt — essentially a saree or draped fabric worn in the style of a lungi.

Fashion stylist Rhea Kapoor provides depth to Alia's look sharing, "@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 it’s inimitable artisans she embodies effortless indian heritage and luxury."

In accessories, Alia opted for minimal makeup, centre part hair and floral/gajra accessory, fine gold jewellery (choker style) so that the outfit remains the focal point.

On the work front, Alia is gearing up for the release of her upcoming action-spy film, Alpha, which also features Sharvari.

The film is set to release on December 25, 2025.

Besides, she is busy shooting for Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Love & War, co-starring Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal in the lead.
