After making headlines at the Met Gala 2024 in a Sabyasachi saree, actress Alia Bhatt is now all set to turn heads with her appearance at the Gucci Cruise Show 2025 in London. Before flying to London, the ‘Gangubai Kathiawadi’ star happily posed for the shutterbugs at the Mumbai airport on Monday midnight. She looked simple yet stylish in a comfortable airport outfit. Alia was wearing denim jeans and white T-shirt. She opted for minimal makeup.

The Gucci Cruise show will take place at London’s Tate Modern. London follows in the footsteps of Seoul, where Gucci presented its previous cruise collection at Gyeongbokgung Palace last May. Alia, the first Indian global brand ambassador of Gucci, was also present at the Gucci show in South Korea last year. Undoubtedly, Alia has been quite successful. With his hard work he has taken his career graph to the global level. In March 2024, Alia held her first charity concert in London. The actress organized a “Hope Gala” to raise funds for underprivileged teenagers in India through the Salaam Bombay Foundation. Many famous personalities participated in this event. Musician Harshdeep Kaur, comedian Rohan Joshi and director Gurinder Chadha were also present there.

On hosting her first charity gala, Alia said, “Hosting my inaugural charity gala in collaboration with Salaam Bombay Foundation and Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group has been an incredible experience. I have long been a fan of Padmini Sekhsaria for uplifting at-risk youth. I have been praising his unwavering dedication.” The slums of India provide them with hope and opportunity. I am delighted to play a small role in shaping these children’s stories, moreover, it is a real privilege to hold the Hope Gala at such an iconic venue, as I have always been a fan of Mandarin Oriental’s exceptional hospitality. “Today is the beginning of our efforts, and with the support of our generous contributors, I am confident we will make significant progress in empowering future generations.”

Recently, he was also included in Time’s 100 Most Influential list. ‘Heart of Stone’ director Tom Harper, who worked with Alia in her first Hollywood film, wrote an article in the magazine praising her as a “truly international star”. “There’s a grace to the way she does her work: focused, open to ideas and willing to take creative risks. One of my favorite moments in the film came from an improvisation at the end of a take where she took an emotional thread and ran with it,” Tom wrote.

Meanwhile, on the acting front, Alia will be seen in Vasan Bala’s ‘Jigra’ in the coming months, which is co-produced by Karan Johar and Alia herself. This film is all set to release in theaters on September 27 this year. He is also set to play the lead role in the YRF Spy Universe film, the shooting of which is scheduled to begin later this year.
