This stunning hairdo complemented her outfit: a statement flared orange Anarkali featuring refined golden embroidery on the main bodice, completed with a matching dupatta and churidar pants. She further wore a pair of big golden jhumkas and added more shine to the ethnic fit.

Lohri calls for traditional and flowy anarkali sets with a floor-length aesthetic, which looks iconic with intricate patterns and bright hues. For the current festive season, Alia appeared in a handcrafted emerald green anarkali outfit picked from Nidhi Tholia’s wardrobe, which came in two popular colours. She wore emerald green and blue tones enhanced with gota patti embroidery around the hems of the sleeves and skirt, bringing the lively colours together and making everything look iconic.
