Call it old fashioned or whatever you will, nothing comes close to the grace that a well structured and elegantly draped saree embodies. And, if you ask us, of the current lot of actresses in Bollywood, it is Alia Bhatt who comes to our mind when we ask, who pulls off a saree in the most elegant way.

It would be an understatement to say that some of her recent photos in sarees have made men go weak in the knees. We totally see why so many men, and in fact even women, have such a huge crush on her.

There’s something transcendental about grace and elegance that crosses generations and genders. Especially when you consider the simplistic as well as opulent sarees that she has worn in her recent film, Gangubai Kathiawadi.

We take a look at some instances when Alia Bhatt and her sarees made most of us gawk on, with awe.

1. The Desi Girl Reborn

Before everything else, do keep in mind that this image is from Berlin, where the actress attended the premiere of Gangubai Kathiawadi, at the 72nd Berlin Film Festival. She looks suave as anyone can possibly be, in a rather exquisite white embroidered saree.

2. Multicoloured Print Done Right

Wearing anything with a multicoloured print is always risky. However, Alia makes this vibrant piece from Sabyasachi with those sequin borders look chic. We especially like the bohemian aesthetic that she went for.

3. Painting Everyone Red

Simple, elegant, and piercing - that’s all that we can dare to say about the way that Alia has draped this piece. This simplistic and rather plain saree is proof yet again, that you don’t need a lot of stuff to be going on to come across as classy.

4. A Touch Of Spring

As common as florals are for the spring, there is just something about the print that Alia’s wearing in this rather gorgeous piece from Anavila

5. A Study In Organza

People who are familiar with fabrics will know just how difficult it is to style organza. The fabric is flimsy, transparent, and tricky to work with. And yet, Alia looks as majestic as the moon in this ivory-coloured silk & organza saree from Devnaagri.

6. Handwoven Magic

This is a picture from back in the day when movie promotions were really something. Alia was seen wearing this elegant handwoven piece from Bandhej, while promoting Kalank. The saree has some beautiful strokes of coral, sage green, and pink hues, which gives it a rather aristocratic flair.
