Nita Ambani celebrated Navratri in Mumbai drawing eyes with a spectacular lehenga ensemble. Styled by Anaita Shroff Adajania, she wore Jade by Monica and Karishma. The look embodied the “Navrang” theme—nine colours united in one outfit. It merged traditional textiles with modern craftsmanship. Overall, it struck a balance between festive grandeur and artisanal pride.
Fabric, Colour & Craft
The lehenga was a patchwork of Banarasi brocades filled with zari, resham threads, and sequins. Its panels featured emerald, scarlet, violet, fuchsia, ivory, and gold. Borders used gota patti and zardozi to heighten richness. The choli with elbow-length sleeves echoed the heavy embroidery in the lehenga.
Leheriya Drape & Textile Traditions
Over the brocade lehenga, she draped a fuchsia leheriya dupatta. The drape’s diagonal stripes contrasted the weightiness of the brocade. Its tasselled border and antique-finish embroidery linked back to traditional dyeing crafts. Draped over one shoulder, the dupatta softened the intense colour play and added elegance.
Jewellery, Makeup & Finishing Touches
Jewellery was maximalist: a tiered emerald and uncut diamond necklace, oversized earrings, stacked bangles, and a maang tikka. Makeup focused on defined eyes with kohl, peach lips, red bindi. Hair styled in a neat bun wound with mogra flowers. It shows how heritage techniques like Banarasi brocade, leheriya, zardozi still shine in high-glamour settings. Also, the ensemble respects the theme of Navratri by weaving nine colours, a symbol of diversity and festivity. Overall, it speaks to cultural pride and luxury together.
