From classic white to bold red, these gowns turned heads all night...

The Bollywood brigade turned out in full force at the Ba***ds of Bollywood premiere, Aryan Khan’s much-anticipated directorial debut. The red carpet was a glittering showcase of cocktail-ready glamour, and stars traded sweeping ballgowns for sculpted silhouettes, sequins, and archival drama. From Alia Bhatt’s Tom Ford-era Gucci to Suhana Khan’s gilded Versace, these were the gowns that owned the night.
Alia Bhatt was the undisputed showstopper in a white jersey dress by Gucci. The archival Tom Ford piece from Fall/Winter 1996/97 featured sultry side cuts and the iconic G-buckle belt, once made famous by Kate Moss. Stylist Rhea Kapoor paired it with the Gucci Bamboo 1947 mini and Tiffany & Co. jewels, adding more vintage touch to the look.
Ananya Panday turned heads in a champagne-toned, rhinestone-embellished Self-Portrait gown. The asymmetric neckline, lace trims and side slit made it equal parts dreamy and daring. Styled with Aquazzura crystal sandals and a sleek beauty look, Ananya’s glittering gown perfectly captured the evening’s cocktail-ready energy.
Drenched in gold, Suhana Khan stole the spotlight in a liquid-jersey Versace gown. The asymmetric draping, Medusa ’95 hardware on the shoulder, and fluid panels lent her look both classic elegance and modern edge. Paired with high heels, Suhana’s red-carpet moment was pure golden glamour.
Shanaya Kapoor’s emerald gown brought structure and sparkle to the carpet. The corseted off-shoulder bodice contrasted beautifully with a sequined skirt that shimmered in motion. Styled with a bold cross necklace, green heels, and short hair, her look was unapologetically dramatic.
Radhika Merchant delivered one of the evening’s most dramatic looks in a scarlet Maria Lucia Hohan gown. The off-shoulder tulle number, with its draped detailing and thigh-high slit, was styled with a Hermès Kelly bag and Dolce & Gabbana gold sandals. Glossy pink-toned makeup and sleek hair cemented her as a red-carpet highlight.
Shloka Mehta opted for a Giambattista Valli lace corset gown. The black midi, with shimmering floral embroidery and feminine bow straps, was elevated with Dior slingback pumps, a Judith Leiber butterfly clutch, and a Richard Mille watch.
Brazilian model-actor Larissa Bonesi, rumoured to be Aryan Khan’s girlfriend, kept it sleek in an off-shoulder black gown. The minimalist silhouette added a note of chicness to the Bollywood-heavy lineup.
