Diwali celebrations are often as much about the little details as they are about the festivities. And Alia Bhatt's latest Instagram album brings together both, offering a peek into an intimate family celebration filled with traditional rituals, affectionate moments and, of course, some beautiful festive fashion.

The actor celebrated Diwali with husband Ranbir Kapoor and daughter Raha at Krishna Raj Bungalow, the family's new residence. For the occasion, Alia opted for a pastel green lehenga that made a case for softer colours in festive wardrobes. Ranbir chose a classic ivory kurta-pyjama, while little Raha coordinated with her father in white.

Sharing the photographs on Instagram, Alia wrote, "The light of my life Happy Diwali to you and yours. Hope you're surrounded by lots and lots of love."

Alia Bhatt makes a case for pastel festive dressing

Moving away from the more conventional reds, golds and jewel tones associated with Diwali, Alia picked a pastel green lehenga choli that struck a balance between understated elegance and traditional glamour.

The voluminous skirt featured delicate gold embellishments, lending the ensemble a festive finish without making it look too ornate. Her blouse, meanwhile, stood out with intricate detailing, pearl-like accents and a structured silhouette. She completed the look with a sheer green dupatta, edged with a fine gold border and draped gracefully over her shoulders.

Her accessories brought in a more traditional touch. Statement gold earrings, an elaborate maang patti and colourful embellished bangles complemented the outfit. Alia wore her hair in a neat bun, keeping the focus on her jewellery and the detailing around her face.

For makeup, she stayed with a soft, luminous finish, subtly defined eyes and a natural lip colour. The result was a festive look that relied on thoughtful detailing rather than an overload of embellishments.

While Alia's outfit brought a refreshing pastel touch to the family photographs, Ranbir and Raha kept their looks classic in white. The father-daughter colour coordination made for one of the sweetest frames in the album.

Another photograph captures Raha kissing both her parents on their cheeks, offering a particularly adorable glimpse into their family life. In a different frame, she is seen extending her hand as a pandit ties a moli around Ranbir's wrist ahead of the Diwali puja.

The album also features Alia participating in the Lakshmi Poojan, with Ranbir's mother, Neetu Kapoor, joining the celebrations in a traditional green outfit.

A Diwali celebration steeped in family memories

This year's festivities carried added significance as the Kapoors celebrated at Krishna Raj Bungalow, their new six-storey family residence. The home represents another chapter in the Kapoor family's long-standing association with the property and its legacy.

Among the photographs, one particularly poignant frame features Alia, Ranbir and Neetu posing in front of a portrait of the late Rishi Kapoor, decorated with a garland of red flowers. The photograph brought a sentimental note to the celebrations, with the family remembering the veteran actor and seeking his blessings on the festive occasion.

Together, the pictures offered more than a glimpse of celebrity Diwali dressing. They captured a family embracing new beginnings while holding on to traditions and memories.

What's keeping Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor busy professionally?

Away from the festivities, both actors have major projects lined up. Ranbir is preparing for Nitesh Tiwari's ambitious adaptation of the Ramayana, titled 'Ramayana: Part One', in which he plays Lord Rama. The film also features Yash, Sai Pallavi and Ravi Dubey, among others.

Alia and Ranbir will also share screen space in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Love & War', alongside Vicky Kaushal. The period romantic drama marks Ranbir's reunion with Bhansali nearly two decades after his debut in 'Saawariya'. The film is scheduled for a theatrical release on January 21, 2027.

For now, however, it is their Diwali album that has caught the internet's attention. Between Alia's pastel festive look, Ranbir's understated ivory ensemble and Raha's affectionate gestures, the photographs offer a lovely reminder of what made this celebration special.
