Alia Bhatt’s Year of Monochrome: The Subtle Power of Wearing One Color Well

Alia Bhatt is not afraid to wear the same tone head-to-toe with her style being slow, sustainable, and deliberate.

2025 has been a year with a massive shift from dopamine brights to quiet luxury minimalism, and Alia Bhatt is one celebrity that has been lately embracing everything perfectly monochromatic. Be it in powdery pastels, earthy neutrals, or rich jewel tones, she has made the monochrome look stylish and anything but boring.

From red carpets to promotional press looks, and even her Instagram selfies, her sartorial statements are often in head-to-toe single hues. Be it her attending the screening of Umrao Jaan in a beautiful pink saree as a tribute to one of Rekha's iconic saree looks in Silsila or her appearance at Aadar Jain and Alekha Advani's wedding in a delicate baby pink saree from Sabyasachi Mukherjee, Alia has made sure that monochrome is the way to go. It is not about just tone and texture, it is about elevated storytelling.

She often pairs her looks with minimal accessories, barely-there makeup, and soft hair – which means that she’s not trying too hard.

Her Color Choice

Time and again, Alia has made a return to muted pinks, creamy whites, dove greys, and dusty blues – colors that signify maturity and control. She is no more of a trend-chaser and she knows how to own a single tone.

Nonetheless, she’s also not shied away from embracing monochrome looks in bright colors. Check out her bright pink sari look for the promotions of Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, aligning to her reel look in the film.

In fact, Alia Bhatt was in Brazil for Netflix's Tudum event, where the trailer for her debut Hollywood film, Heart of Stone, was unveiled. At the time, she made everyone go wow in a stunning bright green outfit with peplum details. Another monochrome look that hit the right spot, check it out:

Coming to her overall style, Alia Bhatt has been embracing simplicity in satin slip dresses, chikankari kurtas, tailored co-ords, and flowy monochrome sarees. Even in promotional wardrobes, she goes for tonal dressing, rather than relying on print or embellishment. For her, it is not about loud trends, but for curated color-coded confidence.

She’s not afraid to wear the same tone head-to-toe, and she knows how to let a single color say everything without screaming anything.
