Who Was The Best Dressed Ambani?

Last updated on: July 17, 2024 14:16 IST

With their larger-than-life wedding and fair share of pre-wedding festivities, the world could not help but swoon when Radhika Merchant tied the knot to Anant Ambani, making them the much talked about couple in town.

However, the rest of the Ambani clan was not far behind at the star-studded affair. 

Each of the ladies, especially Nita Ambani, stepped up, one outfit at a time. 

Decked out to the nines, they paraded in their designer creations, setting new fashion goals and leaving no stone unturned to make sure they were cynosure of all eyes.

Her blouse, which was studded with hand-embroidered jhumkas and elephant motifs, had 'her children and grandchildren's names adorned over its net base', say the designers. 
She teamed it with chunky emeralds.

It's got real zari on the borders and took six months to weave as, right now, there are only a 'select few Banarasi weavers possessing the expertise to craft an authentic Rangkat saree'.
