Alaya F’s Timeless and Romantic Ice Blue Lehenga

 

Alaya F has mastered the art of blending old-world charm with modern aesthetics, seamlessly balancing demure and dramatic, streetwear and couture. While her off-duty looks often feature effortlessly chic mini skirts, dresses, jackets, and co-ord sets, her Indian wear choices are equally impressive. From bold anarkalis to sleek cocktail saris, Alaya's style is nothing short of enviable. Her latest statement piece? A stunning ice-blue lehenga.

Worn on a special occasion, this lehenga by Mumbai-based Simone Contractor’s eponymous label was a true showstopper. The ensemble featured a scoop neckline blouse paired with a flowing skirt, intricately adorned with delicate thread embroidery and pearl detailing. The contemporary cut, paired with the soft and feminine blue shade, made it a perfect choice for a daytime ceremony, offering understated glamour with a modern edge.

Even if traditional reds and pinks are your go-to festive hues, Alaya’s sartorial picks make a compelling case for embracing blues. Among her standout looks is a cobalt blue pre-draped sari-gown by K&A, styled with a corset, and a navy Seema Gujral lehenga featuring a bralette and a voluminous skirt. The intricate tonal embroidery, sequins, and beadwork, paired with paisley motifs and tassel details, showcased Alaya’s knack for balancing traditional craftsmanship with contemporary silhouettes.

For a wedding, Alaya turned heads in a blue Vvani by Vani Vats lehenga. The gold sequins and thread work created delicate floral buttis on the full-sleeved blouse and skirt, complemented by a matching scalloped dupatta with intricate detailing. She paired this elegant look with statement chaandbali earrings.

To complete her latest icy-blue Simone lehenga, Alaya opted for uncut diamond jewelry, including a choker and kadas. Her makeup soft smoky eyes and brown lips provided the perfect contrast to the cool-toned lehenga. This look proves that blue, often overlooked in ethnic wear, can be effortlessly chic and versatile. With the right styling, it’s a color that can take you from morning ceremonies to evening celebrations while maintaining its ethereal charm.
