Ambani Sangeet: 10 Of The Best Dressed Guests
From Isha Ambani in custom Schiaparelli to Deepika Padukone in Karan Torani, Bazaar Arabia rounds up 10 of our favourite looks from last night’s event…
You can officially be forgiven for confusing the Ambani wedding with the Met Gala. The opulence is off the charts, there is a similarly star-studded celebrity lineup, and the fashion is scrutinised and celebrated with every scroll through your feed. Add in performances by Rihanna, Andrea Bocelli, and Justin Bieber — just to name a few — and you have the most stylish event of the year.
The couple’s pre-wedding party set the bar high. Radhika dazzled in a Versace gown — which was, in fact, famously worn by Blake Lively for the 2022 Met Gala — while Deepika Padukone opted for a timeless red saree by Rimple & Harpreet. This year’s pre-wedding festivities have already exceeded expectations, with highlights including a custom Robert Wun gown adorned with a heartfelt love letter from Anant to Radhika, and Alia Bhatt wearing a breathtaking Elie Saab ensemble.
Now, as we approach the main event, the stakes are even higher. Last night’s sangeet — a traditional Indian pre-wedding celebration filled with joyous music and dance — was testament to this. The fashion? Impeccable, naturally.
Here, Bazaar Arabia presents a roundup of all the best looks from last night’s sangeet, so you don’t miss a moment.
Ambani Sangeet: 10 Of The Best Dressed Guests
Radhika Merchant
The bride, Radhika Merchant, chose an Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla lehenga that perfectly combined saccharine shades of champagne pink and pastel green. Her off-the-shoulder blouse featured exquisite crystal tassels, and the lehenga was embellished with a dazzling array of Swarovski crystals. She completed her look with a diamond drop necklace featuring a pistachio-hued precious gemstone, perfectly colour-matched to her pastel gown.
Isha Ambani
Isha made fashion history in a cobalt blue saree by Schiaparelli — the first custom saree the storied maison has ever made. The saree was adorned with a diamond keyhole brooch, and Isha paired the saree with a silver blouse that sported a scintillating hood. Her accessories included a beautiful diamond necklace, a square maang tikka, and matching diamond stud earrings.
Nita Ambani
Nita Ambani brought all the glitz and glamour in a hot pink Falguni Shane Peacock lehenga, dripping in diamonds. Her sequined dupatta and heavily embellished choli were spectacular, to say the least. When it came to jewellery, Nita didn’t hold back: a multi-layered diamond necklace, diamond earrings, bangles, and a mathapatti. Nita proved that sometimes, more is definitely more.
Shloka Ambani
Shloka chose to wear a custom Tamara Ralph saree in a delicate shade of ivory. The skirt was intricately embroidered with floral motifs, while the beaded pallu added lavish texture. The showstopper, however was the halter neck blouse adorned with lustrous pearls. Finishing the ensemble with shoulder-skimming earrings and an exquisite Haath Phool, Shloka was the epitome of elegance.
Kiara Advani
Kiara turned heads in a structured concept saree from Tarun Tahiliani’s collection, styled by Lakshmi Lehr. The mermaid silhouette and off-shoulder bodice, sculpted with wires, created a striking look. Embellished with pearls, the pre-draped saree featured an uneven hemline, mimicking a wrap skirt. The understated shade of grey was perfectly contrasted by a pale pink pallu draped across her shoulders.
Deepika Padukone
Deepika Padukone was elegantly adorned in a custom Karan Torani organza saree named Bhadra Sanjali. Cradling her baby bump, Deepika exuded regal glamour in a bold shade of purple with lavish gold embroidery. She completed the look with a pearl choker and styled her hair in a sleek bun, looking effortlessly chic.
Isha Ambani
Yes, Isha changed again! This time, she shone in a vibrant coral tulle lehenga adorned with 160,000 silver crystals and multicolored gemstones. Designed by Falguni Shane Peacock, the look was completed with an equally lavish chiffon dupatta. She accessorised her outfit with an emerald choker and matching drop earrings.
Alia Bhatt
Alia stunned in a black and gold velvet lehenga by Faraz Manan, with intricate gleaming embroidery that made her stand out with every step. The cropped blouse with delicate straps and a sweetheart neckline was paired with a sheer black dupatta. Simple silver jhumkas and diamond rings were all she needed to shine.
Janvhi Kapoor
Janhvi looked sensational in a mermaid silhouette lehenga with glittering peacock feather motifs, designed by Manish Malhotra. The applique work was embellished with sequins and stones in dazzling hues of green and blue, while her blouse had a sheer neckline covered in crystals that elegantly hovered upon the skin.
Isha Ambani
And she did it again! Isha Ambani’s final look was a Manish Malhotra silver lehenga with an asymmetrical one-shoulder blouse, adorned with emerald green Swarovski crystals. Paired with statement emerald jewelry, Isha’s last outfit of the night epitomised pure glamour.
