Alia Bhatt made a striking appearance at the Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival Awards in Mumbai on February 20. The actress, who took home the Best Actress award for her work in Gangubai Kathiawadi, showed up to the event dressed elegantly in a white saree. The actress vowed to stick with her love for classic designs and made a strong fashion statement in a saree.

Alia chose an elaborately embroidered saree from the Torani collection by designer Karan Torani. The draping was embellished with a delicate yet stunning border as well as beautiful embroidery. She paired the saree with a white, heavily embroidered blouse with transparent touches and a chic neckline to achieve the minimalistic appearance. The actress chose an elegant pair of bling studs as her accessories, keeping the rest of her ensemble basic. She kept her makeup to a bare minimum. With a dab of blush and fine eye shadow, she highlighted her radiant complexion. The classic saree truly reminded everyone of Alia Bhatt's look in Gangubai. Going by the site of the label, the saree is worth Rs. 94,500.
