Couple Talk
Ranbir and Alia attended the wedding with Ranbir in a Manish Malhotra bandhgala kurta. Alia as an ode to the hosts wore a 160 year old Ashavali sari (a brocade weave from Ahmedabad) collected by Manish Malhotra, who then added his signature sequin border to the sari.
That sari was absolutely beautiful. I just didn’t think the beaded strapless blouse and the jewels here worked with it. Especially that maang tikka. It bordered on playing dress-up and looked costumey.

Oh gosh so well put Payal, completely agree with your sentiments. Gorgeous saree, but as always brought down by some bad styling choices and the excessiveness
I actually love the whole look, I think she looks radiant
What a gorgeous weave and that color is lovely.
This saree definitely didn’t need the sequin border!
Stunning saree
Blouse=0
Gorgeous, gorgeous sari To add that cheap border was an act of vandalism
In these pictures, the ensemble looks quite beautiful. The ivory of Ranbir’s suit offsets the pink on Alia nicely.
I thought she looked okay in the videos.
CB we see the bride and groom?
The blouse is totally disrespectful for that saree.
Sequin border is looking completely out of place.
Such a precious sari spoiled by bad styling.
160 years old saree and he thought to vandalise it ?? They just can’t save it as it is. Can they??
I would like to see it on timeless Waheeda Rehman ji
I am so happy to read collected rather than designed by MM. Everywhere else it read 160 years old saree designed by MM
Why is BW obsessed with ‘ bringing out the oomph in your face’ ? The woman, her saree are doing that! That blouse is so inappropriate for the saree
The blouse is a poor pick.
Plus ya Alia shud let go of tight bun hairdo… Doesn’t suit her. Jewels on Alia n Genelia were OTT even for the wedding in question.
I love the sari – this and Jyothika’s sari at this wedding are the best I have seen in a long time! But the blouse simply doesn’t go with Alia’s sari!
The blouse and jewelry ruined an utterly beautiful sari! The styling was terrible.
Is she playing Jasmine? Saree is drool worthy but it could have been styled SOOOOO much better.
