On October 10, 2026, Swadesh’s first anniversary in Mumbai turned into a star-studded affair, with Bollywood and South celebrities walking the red carpet alongside the Ambani family—especially the leading woman. While Isha Ambani, Nita Ambani, and Shloka Mehta all nailed their looks, Radhika Merchant stole the show in her hand-painted attire.
Radhika chose a custom, strapless, corset-style blouse featuring dense, intricate antique-gold embroidery. The sculpted bodice gave her outfit a sharp, structured look, delivering a modern twist to classic festive wear.
To soften the top’s heavy metallic palette, she paired the corset with an elegant, embroidered drape in muted olive green, dusty pink, and gold. The unconventional pallu draping added flowing movement to her structured look.
The Styling and Accessories
Rhea Kapoor, the celebrity stylist, styled the diva in an ensemble that showed how muted metallics can convey festive luxury without feeling overwhelming. Radhika completed her high-fashion look with.
1)A bold, statement choker necklace and matching ornate earrings that balance the look beautifully, highlighting her toned collarbones and shoulders.
2)A metallic gold clutch bag goes well with the look.
3)A sleek high bun kept her neckline clear, keeping the focus entirely on the detailed embroidery.
The grand event, backed by Reliance Retail’s luxury handicraft platform, successfully highlighted the growing prominence of centuries-old Indian craftsmanship within the global luxury fashion market.
