Jamnagar, India was the most searched place in the world this weekend, as Asia’s richest family a.k.a the Ambani clan hosted wedding festivities for their youngest son, Anant Ambani.

Anand is marrying Rashika Merchant in July 2024, but the pre-wedding festivities were held in March. The who’s who of the world descended in Jamnagar for their 3-day long grand affair. From Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg to Ivanka Trump and Karl Kloss – it was a spectacle to behold.

On the first night, the celebrity crowd was entertained with Private Rihanna concert. The Grammy-winning singer did a set of 19 song set for the guests presents to attend the Ambani pre-wedding festivities.

Besides global dignitaries, every prominent name from the world of Bollywood marked occasion with their presence. Whether it was Deepika Padukone, Alia Bhatt or Shahrukh Khan, all the major names from the industry arrived in style.

The 3-day itinerary was packed with private concerts, lavish day soirees and private safaris across the natural habitat.

Let’s talk about the fashion, because all the stops were pulled. The ladies from the Ambani family were seen in custom-made couture ensembles from brands like Valentino, Schiaparelli, Chanel and Louis Vuitton. Off the rack, who is she?

Bride Radhika Merchant wore a custom-made Versace gown for the night, resembling the iconic Blake Lively Versace look she wore during the 2022 Met Gala, when she was the co-chair. The diamonds on Radhika could be the sum of a small country’s entire GDP, talk about opulence.

Kardashian-Jenner favourite Jeff Leatham was flown down from Hollywood to do the flowers at the venue and the final results were as dreamy as you can expect.
