A champion of Indian crafts and artisans, Nita Ambani is often seen at events in exquisite six-yard sarees she has collected over the years or had custom-designed by talented craftsmen. For the event at NMACC, Nita picked a Banarasi silk saree from Swadesh. She paired it with a blouse, custom-designed by ace Indian coutourier Anamika Khanna.
The Banarasi silk saree is handwoven by master weaver Shri Amresh Kushwaha and his daughter, Angika Kushwaha. The elegant drape took over four months to complete. Bringing together centuries of artistry and modern grace, it features intricate golden and silver floral embroidery, a broad patti border, and a detailed pallu.
The styling
She draped the saree in traditional style, letting the pallu fall off the shoulder in a floor-grazing length. The Anamika Khanna blouse completed the ensemble. It is a Chantilly lace blouse, decked with beaded tassels, half-length sleeves, a crew neckline, and a tailored silhouette.
The ensemble was completed with a Polki diamond choker set from Nita Ambani’s own collection, and matching bangles from Swadesh. She matched the heavy choker necklace with dangling Polki diamond earrings and a statement ring decked with a priceless diamond centrestone.
For the glam, she chose kohl-lined eyes, winged black eyeliner, feathered brows, glossy light pink lip shade, mascara-coated lashes, rouge-tinted cheeks, beaming highlighter, shimmering eyeshadow, and a dark blue bindi. Lastly, for her tresses, she chose to leave them loose in a side parting, styled with a soft blowout and waves.
