In almost all her personal celebrations, Alia prefers to wear lighter hued outfits with dainty details. This stands especially true if the celebration is taking place outdoors in greener areas. Most of her bridesmaid outfits for the garden weddings or pre-wedding celebrations of her friends, she has without a miss sported bright flared outfits, usually featuring either floral embroideries or floral prints. For a similar look, you can pick bright colored Anarkalis or contemporary lehenga choli sets, featuring floral prints or thread embroideries.

Like a true fashionista that she is, Alia would match up her ensemble to the point with the celebrations around. This is why for most night-time parties, she would appear in scintillating outfits, adorned abundantly in sequins and mirrors. To steal this style, simply go with net lehenga or sarees with mirror details on the border or all-over. While doing so, you may want to pick lighter colors to really carry the luminescence of the ensemble without making you look older.
Other than ensembles, her choices in jewelries too are noteworthy. You would never find her under or over-accessorized. For a conventional bridesmaid look like hers, you can pair your bridesmaid lehengas and sarees with statement individual jewelry pieces. If the theme of the celebration is quite splendid, you can sport a maang tikka with either a pair of matching earrings or a matching choker necklace. For celebrations that have fresher and more youthful vibes, suffice your look with only a pair of cute yet classy earrings or simply style your hair in a way that flatters you the most while topping it with a chic maang tikka. One important tip to take here is, never overdo with your jewelry. When wearing large earrings skip the neckpieces, and vice versa. In fact, adding a maang tikka alone can bring out the celebration vibes of your ensemble without needing anything else.

Not just that, she and her stylist are clearly well aware of all the nuances of creating flattering couture for her as well, that usually involves decided flare from knees below, bare or cinched midriff, and a heavily detailed crop-blouse.
With such fine sensibilities, she easily makes herself appear incredibly gorgeous, all the while maintaining minimal makeup and effortless hairdos; following the foremost tenet from the bridesmaid rulebook - ‘never overshadowing the bride’. In all her bridesmaid avatars, she’s never seen with over-the-top makeup. And this is something very important for you to follow as well, if in the end all you’re looking for is a youthful bridesmaid look. Stay clear from any dramatic eye makeup. Even for your lips, stay in the neutral palette only. And with just a little highlight and color correctors, you’ll be all set to enjoy your bestie’s most important celebration till date with full enthusiasm, creating as many beautiful and cherishable memories.
