Radhika Merchant’s Stunning Looks From Her Pre-Wedding Festivities
|
|
The Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant wedding has everyone in a tizzy! We all just can't wrap our heads around the lavish pre-weddings that have been held- first one an elaborate gala in Jamnagar- nicknamed the Ambani Met Gala, and the second, a grand cruise celebration in Italy and France. And some stunning, out of the box, high fashion looks were worn by the new Ambani family member, Radhika Merchant. Here's a breakdown of each of her glam looks.
Traditional with a Twist!
For her Mameru ceremony, Radhika wore a custom Manish Malhotra lehenga in rani pink, paired with jewels from her mom's collection. But what we loved from this look was her hair, with the twist on the braid looking so fabulous!
It's Giving Modern Princess
Styled by Rhea Kapoor, Radhika looked regal in her glorious @tamararalph gown with the matching head accessory. The jewellery was kept minimal to let those roses shine!
Their own Red Carpet
For the masquerade ball, Radhika chose a custom Versace gown, with blue shades to match the color of the Côte d’Azur water, styled by Shaleena Nathani. The dress took more than a year to create, and Radhika's vibe was 'romantic and young'. That stunning necklace takes the cake though, a rare blue opal surrounded by diamonds by Lorraine Schwartz.
Down The Memory Lane
Styled by Rhea Kapoor, the bride wore @gracelingofficial for the second night's Toga party. Her custom Toga, inspired by her college days was a tribute to Radhika and Anant's college years. The Grace Ling 3D-carved gold bust, and the white satin floor-grazing skirt was a modern look, which took 30 artisans to create!
An Ode To Love
Now this perhaps was the most special outfit she wore, on the first night before the cruise began. Radhika's Robert Wu dress had a love letter Anant wrote to her when they first started dating printed on the chiffon- now isn't that something?
Portofino Love!
Radhika wore archival Dior for their final soiree, which happened in Portofino. It's a rare piece of history, sourced by stylist Mimi Cuttrell. Radhika told Vogue, “It seems like a simple dress, but if you look at the seams and the construction, you’ll see how detailed it really is.”
Moving on from the cruise celebrations to when it all began- the grand Jamnagar event! From elaborate 3-day wedding galas with 5 different themes to hosting it in their home town, have a look at each of Radhika Merchant’s stunning pre-wedding festivities looks!
This Timeless Ghaagra Choli Look!
From wearing MET haute couture to a classic Ghaagra choli, all of her looks have come a full circle. This Anuradha Vakil (the one who designed Sonam Kapoor's wedding lehenga!) pink and tangerine creation is such a beauty!
How Stunning Is This Tarun Tahiliani Lehenga?
Draped in the most exquisite champagne gold meets peach lehenga with a double dupatta drape, Radhika looked breathtaking for her Hasthakshar ceremony. The detailing and the hue on this Tarun Tahiliani lehenga was so stunning. The cute entry and those stunning diamond jewels were absolutely spot on!
Dazzling Diva
For the sangeet night, Radhika went with the trendiest hue of 2024 – Gold! This Manish Malhotra with a corset-style blouse and that cape dupatta was all kinds of beautiful.

A One-of-kind Versace Look!
Trust the Ambani bahu-to-be to go for a look like no other! Radhika wore this haute couture piece in rose gold and pink hues from the House of Versace. This was a one-of-a-kind gown as this is custom-made, only for her. We loved the sash detailing with that classic all-diamond set.
Minimalistic Pastel Beauty
To welcome all the guests to their event, the family donned an all-pastel look with Radhika sporting this stunning lehenga set in dreamy hues. We love the jacket-style blouse with lace details without the dupatta, keeping it simple yet so chic!
This Wowza Sabyasachi Set
Keeping it simple yet royal, Radhika wore a gorgeous vermillion and tangerine Sabyasachi outfit for the first event, the ‘anna-seva’ event. Keeping the glam simple with open hair, this Sabyasachi kurta set was all kinds of beautiful.
