She wore a beautiful Kanchipuram silk saree by Swadesh, designed with over 100 traditional motifs inspired by the temples of Kanchipuram. Woven by National Award-winning artisan B. Krishnamoorthy, the saree featured intricate designs like the Iruthalaipakshi (double-headed eagle symbolizing Lord Vishnu), Mayil (symbolizing divinity and immortality), and Sorgavasal-inspired patterns (celebrating India’s folklore).

To give it a contemporary touch, the saree was paired with a custom-made Velvet blouse featuring a built-up neckline and detailed beadwork on the sleeves at our Atelier blending tradition with contemporary style.

She completed her look with a rare 200-year-old Indian pendant—a parrot-shaped piece decorated with emeralds, rubies, diamonds, and pearls, made using the Kundan technique with red and green enamel.

Taking to Instagram, Manish Malhotra said, "Through this stunning ensemble, NIta Ambani celebrated India’s timeless traditions, honored the talent of its artisans, and brought their extraordinary craftsmanship to the global spotlight." 

To keep warm, she added a fur-trimmed coat, striking the perfect balance between traditional grace and modern style.
