There are so many dress options in the summertime. I personally like dresses with bare shoulders, ruffles, and thigh-high slits. They’re all the rage. Year after year, the one-and-done go-to summer staple makes its reappearance in new iterations to suit the season’s trends. This year’s hottest find is equally cool for hot weather as for monsoon storms. Miniskirts, for one, help to protect against Mumbai’s soggy hemlines during monsoon season.
Mini dresses have been seen on the runways of Miu Miu, Khaite, and Jacquemus as well as many others. Whether with or without cutouts, metallics, or knits, mini dresses are ideal for any occasion. Alia Bhatt has set a high standard of style every time she steps out, and so it’s no surprise she nails the mini dress look with her impeccable style. From a mini dress to a blazer to a cape, this leggy hemline silhouette gives us major style inspiration. The following are some of Bhatt’s best mini dress looks that will have you saving them.
Picking petals

Magda Butrym’s dress featured frills on the shoulders and cutouts on the sides. Bhatt wore the dress to the taping of a show recently. She added a pop of color with a pair of red pumps.
Symbolism of Flowers

Bhatt wore an off-shoulder floral mini dress and a matching oversized blazer to a recent event, accessorizing with stacked rings and delicate silver chain earrings. Matching red pumps completed the look.
Chic Channeling

This recent look of Bhatt, wearing a Giambattista Valli tweed dress with a matching jacket, shows how to make a mini dress look chic. To complete her look, she wore pearl-studded heels that matched the pearl details on her ivory dress.
Keep it Nice and Simple

Just this morning, Bhatt posted a photo of herself on Instagram wearing a simple black dress that has become popular with style blogs everywhere this summer. Bhatt’s ensemble is so effortlessly cute for an easy night out or a vacation.
Add a Cape to it

We loved Alia’s mini dress with an extended cape. We might just use the checkered pink and black dress by Georges Hobeika for our best friend’s cocktail night wedding.
Let’s Bring Back Disco

An all-sequin mini dress was seen on Bhatt in a recent picture from the post-wedding festivities. The festive look featured a ruffle detailed skirt. She kept her look simple with natural hair and no accessories. The look makes a perfect party look for summer nights paired with minimal accessories.
