Alia Bhatt and her transparent bag takes spotlight at Gucci fashion show

Last week, the actor was announced as the luxury brand’s first Indian ambassador

Bollywood sensation Alia Bhatt has made her much-anticipated debut on the global fashion stage, gracing the runway at the prestigious Gucci Cruise 2024 show held at the Gyeongbokgung Palace in Seoul, South Korea. The 29-year-old actor exuded elegance and style as she posed in front of the historic palace, captivating the attention of the Korean media and fashion enthusiasts alike.

Vogue India unveiled the first look of the Gangubai actor at the Gucci show. “First look: Alia Bhatt has arrived at the Gucci Cruise 2024 show in Seoul. The star makes an appearance as the Italian luxury house’s first Indian Ambassador in a black ensemble with cutout detail and a Gucci Jackie 1961 transparent bag." Alia tied her hair in a sleek ponytail and kept her makeup minimal with a nude lip and blush. However, she went heavy with kohl to complement the black cutout dress.

While the dress was also a hit, it was the transparent bag that got all spotlight on social media. Fans flooded the comments section, buzzing about Alia's transparent bag. A user playfully questioned, "Bag is empty, so why is Alia carrying it?" Another joined in stating, "Bro, the purse is meant to hold a few things at least!" However, there were also defenders of the unique bag. "Those who are saying the purse is empty, lmao. Your head is also empty,” read a tweet.

Last week, Bhatt was announced as the first Indian global ambassador for Gucci, a significant milestone in her career. The Italian brand, which is celebrating 25 years since the opening of its first store in Seoul in 1998, chose the enchanting backdrop of Gyeongbokgung Palace for the grand fashion show.

Bhatt's appearance at the Gucci Cruise 2024 show marks her second major moment on the global fashion stage. Just weeks ago, she captivated audiences with her debut at the Met Gala. Dressed in a mesmerizing Prabal Gurung white gown adorned with 100,000 pearls, inspired by Chanel, Bhatt turned heads and garnered praise for her “authentic and proudly Indian ensemble.”
