All eyes on Nita Ambani’s statement neckpiece at Antilia’s Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations

All eyes on Nita Ambani’s statement neckpiece at Antilia’s Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations

Last night, Nita Ambani, Chairperson of Reliance Industries, commenced the Ganesh Chaturthi festivities at her Mumbai residence, Antilia, by welcoming the revered idol. The event saw a gathering of Bollywood celebrities, politicians, and industrialists eagerly awaiting their darshan of the iconic mansion.

Ambani arrived in a stunning orange-and-pink ombre silk sari, paired with a matching orange potli bag adorned with golden brocade embroidery. However, it was her oversized gold neckpiece that captured the attention of the online audience. Details of her opulent look remain a mystery, but what is clear is that the ornate accessory spans across her chest and shoulders, featuring precious stones that resemble emeralds, rubies, and diamonds. Together, these stones form a statement piece that resembles a warrior's armour plate.

Completing her elegant ensemble, Nita Ambani accessorized with matching round earrings and a chunky diamond ring. She also adorned her hair with a long braid, maintaining a minimalistic aesthetic. The evening marked a significant occasion for the Ambani family, as Choti bahu Radhika performed a dance tribute to Lord Ganesha in a handwoven Kanjeevaram sari, showcasing rich jewel pink tones.

The Manish Malhotra-designed ensemble featured gold zari and antique gold marodi embroidery, further enhanced by zardozi highlights, and was styled by Esther Pinto. Radhika complemented her look with diamond jewelry, including a layered neckpiece, matching earrings, a nath, maatha patti, and maang tika, accentuating her traditional style with delicate hints of alta on her fingertips and toes.
