Isha Ambani opted for a fusion look, styling a cropped white cotton shirt with a high-waisted green silk skirt that featured gorgeous golden brocade motifs.

Radhika Merchant chose a stunning off-the-shoulder top which has a floor-length slit hem over flared pants. It also gives the illusion of a gown.

Finally, Shloka Ambani wore a silver-gold metallic jacket with glimmering trousers, keeping her entire ensemble very shimmery.

Regarding the Ambani men, Akash Ambani wore a navy blue suit, exuding a smart casual vibe, while Anand Piramal chose an off-white Bandhgala, leaning towards a more ethnic style. Mukesh Ambani stuck to a black business suit, while Anant Ambani styled a blue shirt over black trousers.

All the looks channelled a high-fashion glam energy, with each member bringing a distinct sartorial personality to the event. The ensemble reflected the true spectrum of high fashion glam, ranging from quiet luxury with an understated silhouette to more dramatic, statement-making styles with bling.
