“I’m very excited about the look,” the actor enthuses. “Because I’m a presenter I wanted to bring the glam, but also keep it really elegant, nothing overwhelming. It sits really lightly on the body.” As Gucci’s first Indian global ambassador, Bhatt – whose personal red-carpet inspirations include “Brigitte Bardot for her hair, Monica Bellucci for her vibe, Rekha for her beauty” – is also enjoying the opportunity to have some input into the creative process. She references the closing ceremony of last summer’s Cannes Film Festival, where she walked the red carpet in the first bespoke lehenga in the history of the house. “When you work on an idea together it just feels like way more than a garment, you know?”
It’s her first BAFTAs appearance, but having been a Bollywood superstar for well over a decade – following her breakout performance in 2012’s Student of the Year – Bhatt is something of a red-carpet veteran at this point. The actor has established a tradition to help her find calm in the inevitable chaos: “Afterwards I take the whole team for dinner – I like to sit with everybody and laugh and have a good time. And have a good meal! Whenever I’m happy and content, that’s always when I look my best – and that comes with the people you’re surrounded by, as opposed to feeling too pressurised about how you’re going to look.”
