Alia Bhatt's new bow hairstyle is the real festive showstopper. Here's how you can re-create it yourself at home

Move over, diamonds—bows are a girl’s new best friend! This festive season, Alia Bhatt is proving that the secret to a head-turning look is wrapped up in a simple ribbon. By blending classic elegance with a playful, modern twist, she has officially mastered the "coquette" aesthetic. Whether you're heading to a glamorous party or a cosy dinner, Alia’s latest hair obsession is the ultimate inspiration to elevate your style with zero effort and maximum charm.

Alia’s signature holiday hairstyle is a sophisticated take on the half-up, half-down trend. Instead of a basic hair tie, she uses oversized statement bows to anchor the look. The hair is pulled back sleekly from the face, allowing her features (and those stunning earrings!) to shine, while the rest of her locks fall in soft, natural waves. She has been spotted experimenting with two distinct styles:

The Emerald Statement: A deep forest green silk bow featuring a delicate diamond-encrusted centre. This pairs perfectly with her black sequined dress for a high-fashion, "regal" vibe.


The Velvet Classic: A plush red velvet bow that screams "Christmas chic," styled with a strapless black dress, taking up her monochromatic look up by a notch.

Black Bow: She also accessorised her hair with a black bow that looked chic and classic. She paired it with a bold red halter-neck dress.

How to recreate it at home?

Prep: Use a light hair oil or serum to get that Alia-inspired shine and tame any flyaways.

Section: Pull the top half of your hair back, keeping the sides tight for a "snatched" look.

Secure: Use a clear elastic first to ensure the ponytail stays in place.

The Bow: Clip your statement bow over the elastic. Opt for longer ribbons if you want them to blend into your hair length for a dreamy, cascading effect.

Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt's upcoming work

Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt were spotted at Mumbai airport on Sunday as they headed out for their annual year-end getaway. The couple paused to greet photographers before departing for an undisclosed destination, keeping things relaxed in coordinated athleisure looks. Taking a holiday break around this time has become a tradition for them.

Work-wise, Alia was last seen in Jigra and is preparing for Alpha, the first female-led film in the YRF spy universe, where she stars with Sharvari. She also has Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love & War with Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal. Ranbir, meanwhile, is busy with Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana, featuring Yash and Sai Pallavi.
