SPOTTED| THE BEST OF ETHNIC SPRING COUTURE AT AKASH AMBANI’S WEDDING

Weddings are a real life runway show. And when they’re of the ultra-fashionable variety where all of Bollywood’s A-listers flaunt their favourite labels, it’s a spectacle to behold – such was the scene at Akash Ambani’s nuptials. The garments, their styling and their wearers were all worth a long, long glance – and a vivid mention. So here go our favourite looks.

Is it in the saree – is it in the styling – or is it in this lady’s intrinsic elegance – it makes for a delightful picture.  We love the sleeve styling and plunge neckline of the blouse; the accessories are just right to offset the maximalism of the saree; and the relaxed curls are absolutely gorgeous.

Feathers might be the hottest trend around the world – from D&G’s marabou feathers to the elaborate overlays of Chanel’s couture to Loewe’s mesmerizing feather earrings to Valentino’s spring shoes, feathers have been all around – and it’s absolutely delightful to see them in ethnic wear. In addition, we love the linear embroidery of the saree – and Gauri Khan’s traditional drape gives it a regal flair.

The dainty beauty seldom gets it wrong when it comes to styling (or theatrics, for that matter). She’s completely playing the belle of the ball in her vibrant yellow lehenga and antique choker. We’d say she’s made a fine choice by skipping out on the earrings to balance the heaviness of the neckpiece.

Quintessentially the showstopper of the event, Deepika couldn’t have looked more perfect. The colour of the saree is a heavenly match for her skin tone; Sabyasachi’s majestic jewelry is ideal for her personality and the hairdo adds a modern tinge to the traditional ensemble.
