So I'm very nervous and very excited, and I'm also now trying my hand at new makeup looks and videos. I put up a makeup tutorial of my own at the beginning of the year. Now my, you know, my team is like, Why don't we try something that you've never done before, like blue eyeshadow or pink eyeshadow or something like that?" she said.

While I appreciate Alia's fashion game, I wish she had spoken more about Indian designers. Why always international brands? We have such talented designers who could create magic with sarees too.
