Five statement pieces from Alia Bhatt’s jewellery collection
As charmed as we are with Bollywood actor Alia Bhatt’s acting prowess, this is not about her acting. The 29-year-old is a trendsetter when it comes to fashion and is no stranger to putting out statement looks, whether she’s on the red carpet, at events or even catching a flight. Although never compromising on her comfort, the Highway actor knows how to elevate or tone down an ensemble with just the right kind of statement accessories.
Be it oversized plain hoops, huge chaandbalis or heavy chokers, you’ll find all kinds of all-eyes-on-me pieces in her jewellery collection. Her choice of accessories is the secret to the young actor’s winning looks. For those looking to invite the maximalist aesthetic into your minimalist ethos, we’ve got you covered!
A major key to following her lead is to limit your jewellery down to one piece— one bold item is enough to do the trick if chosen carefully. Go ahead and bookmark these five statement pieces we’ve compiled with the help of Vogue that will have you sorted for all your western and eastern looks.
1. Plain hoops to go
Well, this one’s a classic. Hoops pair well with nearly all kinds of outfits, whether western or eastern, but the trick to elevate a bad hair day or a casual outfit is to go for oversized silver hoops! Wear your hair up in a ponytail and let your hoops shine through for you. However, when Alia has hints of gold in her outfit, she has been seen choosing chunky hoops to go with.
2. Floral maang tikka
We’re fans of this trick! For any upcoming mehendis and dholkis, take this page from Alia’s stylist, and choose to single out your jewellery selection with a huge floral maang tikka, preferably of the same colour as your dress. A glamorous flower on your head will elevate your look like nothing else!
3. Let the choker do the talking
For people who love deep necklines but never know how to perfectly alleviate the style, opt for a heavily embellished choker, the bulkier the better. It really brings out a regal look while also maintaining a minimalist vibe. Afghan chokers are easily accessible at our local jewellery shops and are definitely an investment to eye on!
4. Baalis longer than your ears
Trust us, nothing will grab all eyes on you better than shoulder-grazing earrings! Alia has been seen sporting huge chaandbalis on multiple occasions, ranging from her promotions for her film Kalank to her recent avatar as Gangubai. There’s not much to say about this one, you can never go wrong with it.
5. Can’t be a stud? Wear it!
Lastly, the actor has been spotted wearing pearl-embellished circular studs, or smaller circular coin-shaped earrings with uncut diamonds to make a statement. While that can be big on the pocket, there are many minimal alternatives available in the market that will do the job!
