Sonam walked around and looked dazzled as she saw an array of standout looks including heavily embellished gowns inspired by India and vintage outfits fit for royalty – all showcased in over-the-top settings. The exhibit curated by Hamish Bowles, global editor-at-large for Vogue and editor-in- chief of The World of Interiors, explores the impact that traditional Indian dress, textiles and craft have had on the international fashion sensibility since the 18th century. The showcase features the works of Indian designers such as Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla, Anamika Khanna, Anita Dongre, Anuradha Vakil, Manish Arora, Manish Malhotra, Rahul Mishra, Ritu Kumar, Sabyasachi Mukherjee, Sanjay Garg, and Tarun Tahiliani as well as some global designers such as Christian Dior.

Sonam said in the video about the exhibit and the museum, "I thought it was spectacular. It is so well curated. It is so beautifully designed. It's at an international standard. Actually I haven't seen something like this... the museum space is so beautifully designed, they have done a spectacular job. You can really feel each era, each inspiration, the music, the colours. You never see such a colourful museum and I think that is the speciality being in India. All the clothes still stand out despite the colour, it is a true homage to India-inspired fashion."

Sonam, who wore a cream gown for the event, wrote in her caption, "This incredible space that Mrs Nita Ambani has envisioned and designed with @patrickkinmonth and @rooshadshroff and is perhaps one of the most beautiful immersive fashion exhibitions I've witnessed. Wonderfully curated by @hamishbowles. It's a matter of pride to see the richness and vibrance of Indian art and craft displayed in all its glory on such an incredible platform. What's more, this space will serve as a source of inspiration to generations of aspiring Indian artists and designers. I could not have imagined a better homage to India in fashion!" A comment on her video read, "Can’t wait for everyone to see the exhibition." One more read, “Iconic as always.”
