At the 61st International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia, Radhika Merchant looked stunning in a couture Erdem outfit designed by Rhea Kapoor.
The Ambani family made a stylish statement at the 61st International Art Exhibition-La Biennale di Venezia, with each member serving up flawless outfits. Radhika Merchant’s second look from the renowned event has gone viral online after she attracted attention in a powder blue sari reminiscent of Audrey Hepburn.
Radhika donned a custom Erdem outfit with a long cape and an off-the-shoulder draped corset, styled by Rhea Kapoor. A striking bow on the bodice, which gave the structured silhouette an edge, was one of the ensemble’s most notable features.
Modern fashion
Radhika wore the top with beige trousers that were cut straight. She wore eye-catching accessories that went well with the gold-heavy colour scheme of the ensemble. Her jewellery included emerald gemstones and large gold earrings with floral filigree accents. But the multi-petalled gold cocktail ring, which combined elegance and modern design, took center stage.
The cloth was woven by Swadesh, showcasing Indian talent, and had a metallic gold brocade with beautiful flower embellishments, according to Rhea’s Instagram post. Radhika opted for a glam finish, which included defined eyebrows, sparkly brown eyeshadow, flushed cheeks, glossy lips, and a highlighter for a natural glow. Her hair was left in gentle curls.
“Ciao Venezia,” Rhea commented after posting a number of pictures. I’m overjoyed to have worked with @erdem on this ensemble for Radhika Ambani using @swadesh_online weaves.
Anant Ambani, the youngest son of Mukesh and Nita Ambani and the younger brother of Akash and Isha Ambani Piramal, is the husband of Radhika Merchant, the daughter of Viren and Shaila Merchant.
