Say what you will about the children of celebrated Bollywood actors, but there's no denying their constantly on-fleek fashion game. Perhaps when you grow up in a household where fraternising with the biggest designers and creative fashionistas of the country, is the natural thing to do, some high-toned style is bound to rub off on you.

 

By now we've seen a flock of celeb kids flaunting their top-notch OOTDs on social media, letting the world know that each of their wardrobes, is truly a thing of envy. From cherry-picked glad rags by the biggest designer houses in India to evidently high-end International labels we struggle with the pronunciations of, our wandering fashion-junky peepers have followed all the Gen Z star kids with utter dedication. But sometime back, one such celebrity kid caught our eye, and so far has refused to let go. 

 

 

Pooja Bedi's daughter, Alaya Furniturewala recently stepped foot into the world of Bollywood with her debut film Jawaani Jaaneman. But by the looks of her Instagram feed, she's been a star in making for quite an impressive while. Her stellar fashion sense launched her to prominence under the public eye, long before her first film came out. The fact that she made it to the cover of Elle, even before her debut movie was released, should be all the evidence you need. This new star kid on the block has been seen sporting all the state-of-the-art trends, further enhanced by her unique sense of fashion, from chic shimmery halter dresses to washed denim tube tops and from floral co-ords to crochet minis. 

 

Alaya's fashion sense can be best summed up as girl next door meets understated glamour meets athleisure meets quirky prints. Simply put, here style is extremely interesting. But perhaps, what makes her fashion sense even more alluring is the fact that it doesn't get filed under "too out of reach". Her outfit choices are relatable to a millennial fashionista, while also being super-chic and classy. On that note, here are our 5 favourite fashion moments by Alaya Furniturewala, along with some suggestions on adopting her style into your fashion sensibilities.
