PIX: Taking Fashion Lessons from Alia Bhatt

Alia Bhatt is fast evolving into quite a designer's darling. Take a look!

After channelling her inner Veronica Lodge in Karan Johar’s hip school musical, Student of the Year, Alia Bhatt is now gathering compliments for her bohemian avatar and singing prowess in Imtiaz Ali’s upcoming road romp, Highway.

Off screen though, the 20-year-old was far from a red carpet attraction. Her dull, disappointing styling didn’t do anything for her vivacious, youthful persona.

But, hey, practice makes perfect. Few missteps later, Alia is fast evolving into quite a designer's darling. Don’t believe us? Take a look.

Alia slips into a peach Sonaaksi Raaj gown accented with a frilly front and bare back. Both young and ladylike, how’s that for shooting two birds with one stone?

Now this is a look Shanaya (Alia's character in Student Of The Year) would’ve approved!

Alia is a vision in a scarlet, shoulder-baring Alexander McQueen chiffon gown, which packs in enough drama on its own to be burdened by accessories.

Not every 20-year- old will rock designer Masaba Gupta’s idiosyncratic, edgy creations with such aplomb.

Bhatt Jr shows her flawless back to the paps in a striking Manish Malhotra lehenga.

Bollywood’s Little Ms Sunshine glitters with grace and gold for the ramp in gorgeous Azva jewels.

Guess the actress has a fond spot for Midas’s favourite hue. The newcomer is positively beaming in Gaurav Gupta’s gold, one-shouldered number.

And this is how you (almost) distract the host when you don’t know who the President of India is.

Side-swept tresses, rose pink lips and a dreamy shade of blue is all it takes to transform Alia into a picture of perfection.

Alia lends the classic LBD a sleek twist in her “sexy Radha body” to fulfil her showstopper duties.

Though she’s only one film old, Alia’s cute-as-a-button Shanaya had a huge impact on tweens and teens. And the young lady is a befitting role model in this lovely lace number.
