Alia stuns in silk chiffon saree at Berlin Film Festival

Mumbai: Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt looked every inch regal dressed in an ivory silk chiffon saree by renowned designers Rimple and Harpreet during the screening of ‘Gangubai Kathiawadi’ at the ongoing Berlin Film Festival.

Alia made an appearance in a pristine white saree by the popular designer duo in Berlin on Thursday at the screening of the Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s upcoming directorial at the event.

Rimple and Harpreet said: “It was an absolute pleasure to design for Mr Bhansali and Alia Bhatt for the screening of ‘Gangubai Kathiawadi’ at Berlin film festival. Though we regularly style celebrities on red carpet & movies, this was special because the entire ensemble for Alia has been created exclusively for the screening, keeping her personal style & comfort in consideration.”

The designers kept the thematic essence of the film in mind as well as creating a look that was a modern classic. It took approximately three thousand and four hundred man hours and a team of twenty five master karigars to complete the saree which features delicate handcrafted embroideries referenced from archival Edwardian and French Lace Shawls. “A full team of skilled karigars worked day & night to create the saree in record time,” the designers added.
