Tissue Saree Glow: Alia Bhatt-Inspired Picks at Fabilicious

There is a particular kind of radiance that only tissue silk can create—soft, warm, and almost inner-lit. When Alia Bhatt stepped out in a peach tissue saree by Manish Malhotra for her griha pravesh in Mumbai, the glow felt intimate and timeless. 

The blouse added a modern twist: structured cap sleeves paired with compact clusters of sequins and threadwork embroidery that contrasted beautifully against the smoother, molten base of the tissue saree. It was a masterclass in how to wear tissue in 2026—not heavy, not glitter-loaded, but luminous and sculpted in all the right ways.

Why Tissue Sarees Are Back

While fashion often cycles between maximalist sparkle and minimalist restraint, the tissue saree sits at an elegant intersection. It offers sheen without sequins, richness without embellishment and structure without heaviness. That is precisely why it is returning as the preferred choice for intimate wedding rituals, temple ceremonies, pre-wedding pujas and even sophisticated evening events.

Tissue’s charm lies in its weave. Designers today are reviving tissue in newer palettes: peaches inspired by Alia Bhatt, molten golds, dual-tone teals, coastal greens and metallic greys.For brides and wedding guests, the appeal is clear. Tissue sarees photograph beautifully, pack easily for destination weddings, and move gracefully from day to night.

How to Style a Tissue Saree

• Choose structured blouses: cap sleeves, scalloped necklines or halters pair beautifully with tissue’s sheen.
• Jewellery works best in soft tones: pearls, kundan and antique gold complement tissue’s gentle radiance.
• Balance shine with minimal makeup: dewy skin and a soft eye enhance the saree’s glow.
• Footwear should echo the drape: metallic sandals or embroidered juttis work depending on mood.
• Let the saree breathe: avoid heavy layering; tissue carries its own presence.

Why the Tissue Saree Is the New Modern Heirloom

The tissue saree has always been steeped in nostalgia—think grandmother’s wedding trunk or treasured ceremonial drapes. But its modern revival shows just how adaptable it is. 

As celebrations become more personal, more travel-friendly and more photography-conscious, the tissue saree continues to rise as the perfect blend of heritage and modernity. It’s quiet luxury, expressed through fabric. And if Alia Bhatt’s peach masterpiece taught us anything, it’s that slow, luminous elegance never goes out of style.
