Controversy Erupts Over Kim Kardashian’s Outfit at Billionaire’s Son’s Wedding
Kim Kardashian has once again found herself at the center of controversy, this time for her bold outfit choice at the lavish wedding of Anant Ambani, the youngest son of India’s richest billionaire Mukesh Ambani. Along with her sister Khloé Kardashian, Kim’s appearance at the extravagant event drew widespread attention and criticism.
The Extravagant Wedding of Anant Ambani
The wedding of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant garnered global headlines, not only for its luxurious scale but also for the star-studded guest list, which included international celebrities and Bollywood stars. The event, held in Mumbai, reportedly cost around $320 million (over 8,000 billion VND), highlighting the immense wealth of the Ambani family. Among the notable attendees were Kim and Khloé Kardashian, whose presence quickly became a talking point.
Kim Kardashian’s Bold Fashion Statement
At the wedding, Kim Kardashian wore a striking red traditional Indian outfit that turned heads. The ensemble was adorned with luxurious jewelry featuring diamonds, emeralds, and pearls. Kim’s first outfit, designed by a high-end fashion brand, featured daring cutouts, highlighting her chest, waist, and signature curves.
Adding to her dramatic look, Kim wore a diamond necklace weighing 150 carats, which included a 35-carat oval diamond and a 23-carat diamond, all from Lorraine Schwartz. Her accessories also included an 8-carat diamond ring, a 10-carat pear-shaped diamond, and a 5-carat square diamond. Completing the look was a headpiece adorned with pear-shaped and teardrop diamonds totaling 28 carats.
Criticism Over Cultural Sensitivity
While Kim Kardashian’s outfit undoubtedly grabbed attention, it also sparked significant backlash. Social media users and critics accused her of lacking cultural sensitivity for choosing a bright red outfit at the wedding. According to Indian wedding traditions, the color red is typically reserved for the bride, symbolizing her purity and new beginnings. Kim’s choice to wear red was seen as disrespectful and overshadowed the bride, Radhika Merchant.
The situation drew comparisons to Western wedding traditions, where wearing white is exclusive to the bride. Indian media outlets echoed the sentiment, stating that Kim Kardashian’s attire was inappropriate for the occasion and failed to respect the cultural significance of the color.
