Before we get started, let’s get one thing straight: there are more plot holes in Student of the Year than you can count on your fingers. Having said that, we chose to view the film because of the styling. The costumes were really nice, especially considering the Dharma Productions film was released in 2012, even if you’ll never find a school where students wear Birkins, TBH. Manish Malhotra styled the vehicle, which also included Archana Walavalkar and Shiraz Siddique in the wardrobe department, giving Alia Bhatt, Sidharth Malhotra, and Varun Dhawan a new look that drew some attention back in the day.
Alia Bhatt was given a wardrobe that leaned toward party-worthy outfits, ranging from flamboyant going-out options to understated but striking variations, despite the fact that her character in the film attended a school and so had to wear a uniform. Her introduction music followed her through several outfit changes (including Dior, Manolo Blahnik, Prada, and others), with a bright pink version striking out in the montage. The then-20-year-old wore more variants in subsequent songs, including a scarlet mini with a corset design and layers that gave it volume. Scroll down to view a few of them.
In its holiday sequences, the film also explored resort and swimwear, offering the actress some unique appearances in contrast to the tried-and-true fits. She wore a pink bodysuit underneath a white shorts, as well as a yellow bikini with numerous layers to complete her tropical style.
Alia Bhatt’s Indian wear costume featured heavy lehengas and layering accents, as well as new-age blouses and beautiful dupattas, to depict her attending a destination wedding in Student of the Year. The highlighted looks were sleek and on-trend, with makeup by Mickey Contractor, and were perfect for people who wanted to break away from the norm at a wedding or special occasion. In this area, we’ll take a look at the actress’s appearance.
Blazers were also a feature of the school uniform and were worn in an odd mix of casual and going-out outfits. Of course, there’s the song that started a thousand memes! The actress wore long coats and blazers in the Ishq Wala love sequence, which would still fit into your winter style today.
