As a shopping addict, it’s only natural to keep updated with trends and to find flattering pieces that suit my 5’1 frame. While jeans are my ultimate fave item to reach for in my closet, it’s sometimes necessary to change things up. Dresses for me are one of the trickiest pieces to find—either the length’s all whopped or then it’s wayyy too figuring-hugging.

However, we’ve spotted Alia Bhatt wearing a summer dress and boy, oh boy, is it the perfect one! Since summer calls out for airy, easy and cute dresses, Alia’s yellow number makes me want to start stocking up on the season essentials.

The ruffled Péro dress with laser-cut detailing at the bottom not only made for a great OOTD, but it was the perfect length for a petite girl like Alia. Celebrity stylist, Sanjay Kumar Dauhaliya styled a cropped denim jacket over the dress and paired it with matching yellow strappy heels.

While Alia went in for a dressy, night look, it was chilled and low-key nonetheless. Although, if I were to wear it for a day out, here’s how I would style it:

  • Swap the heels for slip-on sneakers
  • Add an oversized tote
  • Style the jacket over the shoulders instead of wearing it

Moral of the story, summer dresses FTW!
