The wedding of Radhika Merchant and Anant Ambani was nothing short of a fairytale. The power couple tied the knot in Mumbai in front of friends, family, and a multitude of celebrities. Radhika’s stylist, Rhea Kapoor, shared a glimpse of the bride’s bridal outfit on Instagram, describing it as “a fairytale come to life.”
The Intricate Bridal Attire
Radhika’s bridal ensemble was a masterpiece created by Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla, inspired by the Gujarati tradition of brides wearing red and white known as ‘Panetar.’ The ivory Zardozi cut-work lehenga, layered with a trailing ghagra, a detachable trail, a head veil, and a shoulder dupatta, was adorned with stones and sequins from top to bottom. The fully embroidered dupatta added maximal drama to the silhouette, making Radhika look like a princess.
To add a personal touch to her outfit, Radhika accessorized with the family jewels that her nani, mom, and sister wore to their weddings. The sparkling diamonds and oversized emeralds set in a spectacular necklace enhanced her bridal look. Not only did Radhika look stunning, but the entire Ambani family was also dressed to impress by Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla. Anant looked dashing in his sherwani, while his mother Nita wore a peach silk ghagra and matching dupatta.
A Star-Studded Affair
The wedding ceremony was graced by the presence of celebrities like Kim and Khloé Kardashian, Nick Jonas, Priyanka Chopra, and John Cena, all dressed in traditional Indian attire. Justin Bieber reportedly received $10 million to perform at a pre-wedding event, making the celebration even more extravagant. The guest list for the lavish affair included Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner, and their daughter Arabella.
The three-day wedding festivities were estimated to cost a whopping $600 million, which might seem excessive to some. However, with the groom’s father being worth over $120 billion, it is no surprise that such a lavish celebration was in order. The wedding of Radhika Merchant and Anant Ambani was not just a union of two people but a coming together of wealth, power, and celebrity like never before.
