Alia Bhatt in Tom Ford’s Gucci 1996 Satin Classic
A Fashion Moment at The Ba**ds of Bollywood Premiere
When Alia Bhatt steps onto a red carpet, the world takes notice. At the premiere of The Bads of Bollywood, she made headlines by wearing one of fashion’s most coveted archival looks, Tom Ford for Gucci Fall/Winter 1996/97.
This wasn’t just any dress; it was the holy grail of archives, a piece that transformed the fashion landscape of the ’90s. Styled by Rhea Kapoor, Alia’s look was completed with Tiffany jewels and the iconic Gucci Bamboo 1947 mini bag, balancing vintage glamour with modern elegance.
The Iconic Dress: A Satin-Based Dream
At the center of this style statement was a satin-based jersey dress featuring the legendary G-buckle belt, first introduced on supermodel Kate Moss during the 1996 runway show. The design was pure Tom Ford, minimal yet sensual, sharp yet fluid, embodying the bold confidence that defined Gucci’s most iconic era.
Satin, with its liquid drape and luminous sheen, made the dress unforgettable. It hugged the body while catching the light with every move, making it a perfect choice for a red-carpet premiere.

Why Satin Remains a Red-Carpet Classic
Satin has long been a favorite for designers and celebrities alike. Its timeless appeal lies in its fluid drape, which creates a sculpted yet effortless silhouette. Its luminous shine captures light for an instantly glamorous effect, making it a natural choice for statement-making looks. And with its versatility, satin works seamlessly across gowns, dresses, and couture draping. From Kate Moss in the ’90s to Alia Bhatt today, satin continues to dominate the world of high fashion.
