After seven months of extravagant pre-wedding celebrations, Anant Ambani, the son of India’s richest man, completed his highly anticipated marriage to pharmaceutical heiress Radhika Merchant before thousands of guests this past weekend.
Arguably the biggest wedding of the year, the nuptial ceremony was well attended by various high-profile guests such as Kim and Khloe Kardashian, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, and former Prime Minister Tony Blair, among others.
Wedding enthusiasts gathered in the streets of Mumbai to watch the son of India’s wealthiest man travel from the family home of Antilla to the Jio World Convention Center for his baraat. Millions more scrolled through on social media as Kim and Khloe Kardashian posted themselves in traditional Indian clothing with a camera crew in tow.
The fashion crowd was out in full force, with Zendaya’s longtime stylist Law Roach arriving in a mauve velvet jacket, purple tunic, and a pair of Schiaparelli gold-toed shoes, while designer and New York Fashion Week staple Prabal Gurung wore a rose-coloured sherwani and aviator sunglasses.
Kim and Khloé Kardashian, who skipped the red carpet entirely, were seen on social media dressed in gold and red saris respectively. Kim’s ensemble featured an off-the-shoulder tasseled bodice, whereas Khloé opted for long, ornate sleeves, stacked necklaces, and an opulent maang tikka. In an Instagram story, Kim teased that their film crew was in tow for an episode of their show “The Kardashians.”
