Radhika Merchant’s mirror work lehenga is a modern take on the Banjara and Kutchi look
MUMBAI, JULY 12 : The big day is here. Radhika Merchant is all set to get married to Anant Ambani today in a grand ceremony at the Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai. In the meantime, fashion designer Tarun Tahiliani has shared stunning pictures of Radhika in a gorgeous lehenga choli that the bride-to-be wore during her pre-wedding rituals.
Radhika made a striking appearance in a multicoloured lehenga featuring intricate mirror work all over. The ensemble was a “modern take on the Banjara and Kutchi look sculpted to her body with fun custom accessories, true to her incredible India-cool self,” Tarun said in a note that accompanied his Instagram post.
A statement necklace and jhumkas that Radhika wore with kaan-chains elevated the entire look, the highlight of which, most certainly, was her smokey-eye makeup. Her hair was braided into a long plait featuring colourful accessories and threads.
Radhika Merchant and Anant Ambani’s wedding will be followed by ‘Shubh Aashirwad’ on July 13 and ‘Mangal Utsav’ or the wedding reception on July 14. Another reception party will be held on July 15 as well, in Mumbai.
Their wedding will be attended by politicians, sportspersons, celebrities and global personalities. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, ex-UK Prime Minister Tony Blair, Kim and Khloe Kardashian, Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and Priyanka Chopra have been invited.
Nita and Mukesh Ambani’s youngest son Anant Ambani’s wedding festivities commenced with an intimate puja ceremony at the Ambanis’ Mumbai residence, Antilia, on June 29. This was followed by a set of pre-wedding rituals, including the ‘mameru’ ceremony, sangeet, haldi and mehendi.
