For Saturday’s wedding celebrations, the Skims founder switched things up with a stunning pale pink and silver lehenga paired with a sheer long-sleeved choli and a matching dupatta.
And on Sunday, the mom of four rocked another red look, wearing a Gaurav Gupta creation featuring a wrapped red fabric top and matching skirt along with a striking red veil.
She was dripping in hundreds of carats of Lorraine Schwartz jewels at each event, including diamonds, emeralds and a show-stopping piece that featured a massive 70-carat diamond chain stretching from her ear to a nose ring.

“I would avoid wearing red to any and all events—whether you’re a female or male guest,” she advised the publication.
However, it seems like the Ambanis didn’t mind; Kim was spotted sharing warm interactions with the bride and groom along with his mother and sister.
