Alia Bhatt dropped priceless pictures from her Mehendi ceremony today and she looked stunning in a gorgeous pink lehenga. The actress opted for a sustainable outfit for her special day and the bespoke ensemble was created by Manish Malhotra.

Revealing details about Alia Bhatt’s special lehenga, the designer’s Instagram account had shared, “Alia Bhatt chose to personalize her Mehendi ensemble with a sustainable approach, where approximately 180 textiles patches come together to mark her momentous occasion, the most special one indeed. The custom touches reminisce about her journey and depict symbolic elements of her memories. Inscribed through Kashmiri and Chikankari threads, the passionate 3000-hour intricate handwork of #Mijwan women features a fuchsia pink Lehenga and a blouse embellished in real gold and silver nakshi and kora flowers, and vintage gold metal sequins from kutchh. The patches are woven together using a couture technique of cross-stitches with three tar and six tar anchors. Edged in real gold zari and appliques, this handwoven silk ensemble also carries Banarasi brocades, jacquard, bandhani, Kachha Resham knots, and some scraps from brides’ earlier outfits.”

For the special occasion, Ranbir Kapoor matched outfits with Alia and decked up in a pink traditional ensemble. Ranbir and his family also gave a special performance for Alia. Summing up her Mehendi ceremony, Alia had shared, “The Mehendi was like something out of a dream. It was a day full of love, family, our beautiful best friends, a LOT of French fries, a surprise performance by the ladkewalas, Ayan playing DJ, a BIG surprise organised by Mr. Kapoor (my favourite artist performed my favourite songs), all followed by some happy tears and quiet, blissful moments with the love of my life. There are days… and then there are days like these!”
