What did Nita Ambani wear for the TIME100 gala?

Upholding the traditions, at the TIME100 red carpet, Nita Ambani chose a beautiful handwoven saree crafted by Indian artisans rather than a designer gown from a foreign brand. She paired it well with statement jewellery from her own personal collection. The pictures were shared by Swadesh on Instagram on April 24. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Swadesh Online (@swadesh_online) The handloom saree features intricate floral designs done in aqua blue, pink and golden shades on a black base. The broad golden brocade borders the silk fabric, and the heavy work on the pallu enhances the beauty of the six yards, which she draped elegantly in the traditional style: with the pallu falling off the shoulder and the pleats neatly arranged on the front. Nita Ambani chose an equally unique blouse to pair with the elegant handcrafted saree. It features intricate, colourful thread embroidery on black fabric, enhanced by a wide boat neckline, half-length sleeves, a tailored fit, and a cropped length.

The jewels

For the jewellery, Nita Ambani chose statement pieces from her own collection, including a multi-strand pearl necklace with Kundan work in the centre, dangling pearl earrings set with precious diamonds, diamond-encrusted bracelets, and a statement ring for the finishing touch. As for the glam, she chose darkened brows, a black bindi, subtle smoky eyes, winged eyeliner, blush-tinted cheeks, a glossy mauve-pink lip shade, a thick coat of mascara on the lashes, and a dewy base. Lastly, side-parted, wavy, loose tresses rounded off the traditional look.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Swadesh Online (@swadesh_online) During the red carpet photocall, Nita Ambani was asked how she feels being surrounded by all the influential people on the list. To which she said, “I'm just so excited to be here representing India amongst these global leaders who are bringing in so much positive change.” She further added, “I think the world needs, at this moment, global leadership that represents hope, optimism, and noble leadership more than ever before.” Meanwhile, according to Swadesh, TIME100 NEXT India will recognise 100 emerging leaders from India and global Indians across arts, science, business, sports, and advocacy—individuals whose ideas and work are shaping the future of India and influencing the world beyond it.
