Alia Bhatt stole the spotlight at the BAFTA Film Awards in a custom Gucci gown that shimmered effortlessly and matched her glow.
Alia Bhatt made a striking statement at the BAFTA Film Awards 2026, held at the iconic Royal Festival Hall in London, where she stepped onto the global stage as a presenter.
Catching everyone's attention the moment she arrived, Bhatt chose a custom Gucci silver sequinned gown that shimmered under the lights, perfectly balancing drama with refinement.

She elevated the ensemble further with a plush white fur stole draped over her arms, lending a touch of old-Hollywood glamour and softening the high-shine effect of the gown. Styled with delicate drop earrings, softly glowing makeup, and her hair worn in soft curls with a centre part, the actor kept the focus firmly on the statement dress.
By letting the gown take centre stage through minimal jewellery and understated beauty choices, Bhatt once again reinforced her signature aesthetic of quiet confidence and modern elegance, showing that understated glamour can be just as striking.
While this is undoubtedly one of Alia Bhatt's boldest looks, British Vogue mentions that the actor drew inspiration from Marilyn Monroe. The reference came from a classic image of Monroe in a shimmering silver gown paired with a fluffy white stole.
