Fans Say ‘Hayee Garmi!’ as Alia Bhatt Debuts at BAFTA in a Backless Silver Dress — See Pics

On February 22, the 79th British Academy Film Awards (BAFTA) took place in a spectacular setting at London's Royal Festival Hall. Shibani Dandekar, Farhan Akhtar, and Alia Bhatt were among the well-known Indian celebrities who graced the event, each bringing their own sparkle to the esteemed occasion. 

She was present when the Best Film Not in the English Language award was given out. On the red carpet for her debut, the 32-year-old actress emulated Marilyn Monroe, a legendary figure in Hollywood. Alia added glitz to the awards ceremony by donning a silver Gucci gown that Demna had custom-designed and encased in a white stole. 

One of the evening's presenters, Alia Bhatt, turned heads when she arrived wearing a special Gucci design. Under the red carpet lights, the silver sequined gown, which had a high neckline and a fitted, sculpted form, shimmered beautifully. She accessorised the dress with a plush white fur stole. Alia kept her styling simple and opted for subtle accessories so that the gown would be the focal point. She looked better thanks to her tidy hairstyle and neutral makeup.

Alia looked stunning on the red carpet at the BAFTAs, styled by Hollywood celebrity stylist Rebecca Corbin-Murray, who has previously worked with Priyanka Chopra. She walked the red carpet wearing a custom-made, eye-catching Gucci gown covered in sequins.

The gown's gentle softness is enhanced with a sculpted halter silhouette and a liquid silver sheen made with hundreds of silver sequin accents. Demna's floor-length garment has a flowing skirt, cutouts on the sides that define her waist, a sleeveless design, a seductive backless element, a round halter neck, and a figure-sculpting fit.

The classic moment, which combines elements of contemporary muse aesthetics with vintage Hollywood glitz, is enhanced by the soft white fur stole. Alia finished the look by draping the stole over her arms. She accessorised the look with star-studded hanging earrings, a gorgeous statement ring, and stilettos.
