Alia Bhatt Shows You How to Adorn Your Hair With Fresh Flowers This Wedding Season

The year is 2022, and barrettes, headbands, and paasa’s won’t do. 

Indian women have been adorning their hair with fresh, fragrant flowers since time immemorial; a supposed symbol of love, good luck, happiness, and prosperity. As the years have gone by, however, flowers have been replaced with embellished hair clips, pins, tiaras, headbands, and so on; a result of westernisation, perhaps? 

While you may seldom spot a jasmine gajra, the trusted use of flora to accentuate the lustrous, thick mane is a concept far gone, especially across the northern parts of the country. But the Indian film industry—whose profound impact is apparent in today’s youth, and their fashion choices—has brought back this culturally-rooted trend. 

After global icons Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone chose to adorn their bridal buns with fresh flowers, Alia Bhatt has been the most recent to sport blossoms in her hairdo while promoting her upcoming film, Gangubai Kathiawadi. Here's a quick look at her flower-bedecked hairstyles to inspire you to accessorise your mane this wedding season. 

The actor accessorised her white floral sari with two blossoming roses delicately placed in her hair—an elegant addition to her simple, dewy look. 

Alongside mastering the art of donning a strikingly simple white sari, Alia Bhatt introduced a pop of colour with a bold red lip and bright red roses in her flowy hair. 

With a dash of pink on the cheekbones and a dash of pink in the hair, the star shows you how to ace a soft glam look this wedding season. 

Alia's eternal love affair with the white sari—and the white rose—is an extraordinary one. 

A wrap-around gajra over a tightly pulled back bun is a hard one to beat. 

The fragrant jasmine gajra is the perfect hair accessory there will ever be. 

Alia Bhatt, yet again, makes a strong case for white florals.
