Red has always been the colour of passion, power and romance and as Valentine’s Day approaches, Bollywood’s leading ladies are proving that nothing speaks the language of love quite like this fiery hue.
From sculpted silhouettes to fluid drapes, these divas are redefining red with confidence, individuality and high-fashion flair.
Here’s how Alia Bhatt, Ishita Raj and Kriti Sanon are setting serious style goals this season.
Playful romance: Alia Bhatt  

Alia Bhatt embraces a softer, more whimsical take on red in a flowing wrap-style dress adorned with oversized black polka dots. The deep V-neckline and cinched waist lend subtle structure, while the billowy sleeves add movement and ease. Gold statement earrings and natural makeup balance the bold print, making the look equal parts playful and polished. Alia’s red isn’t loud, it’s expressive, youthful and effortlessly chic, perfect for a daytime Valentine’s date or an intimate celebration.
Red redefined: Ishita Raj

Ishita Raj brings undeniable drama in a sultry, body-hugging red gown that celebrates movement and form. Featuring ruched detailing along the silhouette and daring cut-outs at the waist, the dress accentuates curves while maintaining a fluid elegance. The draped fabric flows seamlessly into a floor-length hem, while her high ponytail and understated makeup keep the focus firmly on the gown. This is red at its most seductive bold, fearless and undeniably glamorous.
 
Power dressing: Kriti Sanon
Kriti Sanon turns up the heat in a striking red tailored ensemble that blurs the line between sharp power dressing and modern femininity. Her structured jacket, featuring dramatic wide lapels and sculptural sleeves, makes a bold sartorial statement, while the sleek matching trousers ground the look in effortless sophistication. Styled with minimal jewellery, a slick pulled-back bun and bold red lips, Kriti lets the silhouette and colour do all the talking. This is red reimagined not just romantic, but commanding.
Flower power: Janhvi Kapoor

This little red floral dress is a must in your Valentine’s Day wardrobe. Cute, girly and something that adds a Gen Z touch this season of love.
