The sartorial elegance displayed at these events has been particularly noteworthy, with the Ambani ladies— Isha Ambani, Shloka Mehta Ambani, and the bride-to-be Radhika Merchant—stealing the spotlight with their impeccable fashion choices.
The pre-wedding celebrations have showcased a blend of high-fashion and tradition, with each look carefully curated to perfection. Highlights include:

- Isha Ambani’s Gemstone Choli: For one of the events, Isha wore a choli embellished with actual gemstones, meticulously placed by designers Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla. The gemstones, sourced from Rajasthan, Gujarat, and family heirlooms, added a unique touch to her outfit.
- Shloka Mehta Ambani’s Subtle Elegance: Shloka’s custom Tamara Ralph ensemble featured a delicate pink-to-grey gradient with intricate beadwork, paired with a pearl and crystal-studded blouse. The halter silhouette and crystal-studded bows added a contemporary twist.
- Radhika Merchant’s Love Letter Gown: For a Mediterranean cruise event, Radhika wore a gown by Robert Wun, featuring an inscription from a love letter penned by Anant on her 22nd birthday. The gown’s studded bodice and crystal-lined chiffon created a timeless and personal piece.
- Isha Ambani’s Schiaparelli Saree: Isha donned a custom couture saree by Schiaparelli, the fashion house’s first, in electric blue with a silver brooch and a structured hooded blouse. This avant-garde piece paid homage to traditional Indian attire while showcasing modern design elements.
- Anant Ambani’s Emerald Brooch: Anant’s fashion choices, though conservative in silhouette, were extravagant in accessories. His red-on-red kurta set for the garba night featured emerald and diamond buttons and a striking emerald brooch guarded by a Cartier panther, a detail that captivated many.
