Actor Alia Bhatt paid tribute to Rekha¡¯s iconic Silsila avatar by stepping out in a look that reinterpreted the legendary onscreen style with a modern twist. The outfit was worn for the Umrao Jaan screening, where Rekha¡¯s enduring legacy in fashion and film was celebrated.
In the video, Alia is seen in a custom baby pink sari. The fabric drapes softly over her shoulders, with intricate pleating near the collarbone and a high neck. The look is completed with statement feather earrings. Styled by Rhea Kapoor, the ensemble is a contemporary spin on Rekha¡¯s legendary Silsila appearance, which remains one of the most talked-about style moments in Hindi cinema. The exact shade appears somewhere between baby pink and lilac, offering a delicate yet striking presence. Fans flooded the comments section of the video praising her for carrying the look with grace.
Diet Sabya called the look ¡°reference done correct,¡± noting how difficult it is to emulate a look as iconic as Rekha¡¯s without missing the mark. ¡°Rekha ma in Silsila has given us fashion and heartbreak refs for ages. Eons. Centuries,¡± the caption read, adding that the only way to pay homage is to ¡°do it correctly or not do it at all.¡±
In a recent interview with India Today, actor Kajol also praised Alia for forging her own identity in the industry. Speaking about Gen-Z actors, Kajol said, ¡°They are not following anyone's footprints ¡ª and they shouldn¡¯t. It¡¯s a different world today.¡± She highlighted how actors like Alia are not replicating older generations but instead creating something uniquely their own.
With this look, Alia Bhatt not only honoured one of Bollywood¡¯s most admired style icons but also demonstrated how the younger generation of actors can bridge classic and modern sensibilities. As Diet Sabya¡¯s post summed it up ¡ª ¡°Modern. Reference done right.¡±
