Isha Ambani's Pick For Anant-Radhika's Sangeet Ceremony - Schiaparelli's First-ever Saree

Isha Ambani Piramal made waves by wearing the first-ever custom couture saree designed by Schiaparelli. The fashion icon of the Ambani household has been slaying it with her sense of style ever since the first pre-wedding celebration began in Jamnagar, Gujarat. 

Schiap saree's royal inspo

The Italian fashion designer Elsa Schiaparelli, who created her fashion label in 1927, was inspired by Princess Rani Sita Devi aka Princess Karam's fashion choices, which led her to incorporate attires with harem pants, sari-like evening gowns, in her 1935 collection. The collection also boasted to have the first schiap saree to have been created. 

The billionaire heiress Isha Ambani, who showed up at her brother's sangeet bash wearing a Schiap attire, is being deemed as the first modern day schiap saree by the ‘House of Schiaparelli.’

Isha Ambani's choice is significant, not just for its fashion-forward appeal, but also for its familial connections. Her mother, Nita Ambani, has previously donned Schiaparelli creations for several high-profile events, including pre-wedding celebrations of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant.

Netizen's react

The saree, shared on social media by stylist Anaita Shroff Adajania, drew a spectrum of reactions. While some social media users praised the look as "stunning" and "iconic," others criticized it for "excessive photoshop."

Comments ranged from adulation to critique. "This look is iconic," one Instagram user commented. In contrast, a Reddit user expressed a differing view: “As much as I like Schiaparelli, I don’t like this at all.”

The Grand Indian Wedding deeds

As the Ambani family prepares for Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant's wedding on July 12 in Mumbai, the sangeet ceremony tonight at the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre is drawing significant attention. The guest list for this event reads like a who's who of Bollywood, including Alia Bhatt, Ranbir Kapoor, Vidya Balan, Madhuri Dixit Nene, Khushi Kapoor, and Vedang Raina. Other notable attendees include Javed Jaffrey, Ananya Panday, Sara Ali Khan, Genelia and Riteish Deshmukh, Shanaya Kapoor, and Navya Naveli Nanda.

Adding to the glamour, international pop sensation Justin Bieber is set to perform at the sangeet, titled "Celebration of Hearts." Bieber was spotted at Mumbai airport, further fueling excitement for the event.
