Isha Ambani and Shloka Mehta turned heads at Antilia’s Ganesh Chaturthi festivities, serving two distinct takes on lavish Indian festive fashion.
Ganesh Chaturthi at Antilia once again brought together devotion, family celebrations and high-fashion festive dressing. Among the standout style moments were Isha Ambani and Shloka Mehta, who embraced contrasting yet equally striking approaches to traditional Indian wear.
While Shloka Mehta leaned into a colourful Gujarati-inspired aesthetic with a Bandhani draped lehenga-sari, Isha Ambani chose a richly embellished jewel-toned lehenga that put intricate craftsmanship at the forefront.
Shloka Mehta Goes All-In on Gujarati-Inspired Style
Shloka Mehta brought a vibrant burst of colour to the celebrations in an orange and sunset-yellow Bandhani draped lehenga-sari. The ensemble drew from traditional Gujarati textile aesthetics while giving the classic craft a fluid, contemporary silhouette.
The outfit combined the familiar appeal of Bandhani tie-and-dye work with sweeping leheriya-inspired wave patterns, creating layers of colour and movement. Its elaborate embroidered border added another dimension, featuring colourful floral detailing alongside traditional peacock motifs.
The ornate border gave the otherwise fluid outfit a distinctly regal finish, allowing the craftsmanship of the textile to remain the star of the look.
Shloka completed the ensemble with an opulent polki diamond choker, coordinating drop earrings and delicate stacks of bangles. She kept her hairstyle sleek and centre-parted, creating a clean beauty look that did not compete with the statement jewellery or vibrant textile.
Isha Ambani Makes a Case for Jewel-Toned Festive Glamour
Isha Ambani opted for a very different visual language, choosing a heavily embellished lehenga steeped in rich jewel tones and intricate embroidery.
Her ensemble featured multicoloured threadwork spread across the skirt and structured choli. Geometric designs were combined with traditional-inspired motifs, giving the outfit a detailed, handcrafted appearance.
The dramatic dupatta provided the biggest colour statement. Deep royal blue and emerald green created a bold colour-blocking effect as the dupatta was draped elegantly over one shoulder, adding depth to the otherwise intricate ensemble.
Isha accessorised with stacks of traditional bangles, statement rings and delicate neck jewellery. Her beauty look was equally polished, featuring voluminous blowout waves and soft-glam makeup that complemented rather than overshadowed the elaborate outfit.
Two Distinct Takes on Festive Indian Fashion
The contrasting looks of Shloka and Isha highlighted two different directions in contemporary festive dressing.
Shloka’s Bandhani-inspired ensemble celebrated regional textile traditions, vibrant colours and fluid draping, while Isha’s lehenga focused on ornate embroidery, saturated jewel tones and structured glamour.
Together, the looks demonstrated how traditional Indian fashion can accommodate very different styling personalities—from craft-forward colour play to sophisticated, maximalist embellishment.
Antilia Celebrates Ganesh Chaturthi in Grand Style
The Ambani family hosted its annual Ganesh Chaturthi festivities at Antilia on September 14, bringing together family, friends and several prominent names from the entertainment industry.
The celebration featured traditional rituals, devotional elements and elaborate décor, alongside a star-studded guest list. Bollywood personalities including Alia Bhatt, Ranbir Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Saif Ali Khan, Katrina Kaif, Vicky Kaushal, Kiara Advani, Sidharth Malhotra, Janhvi Kapoor, Khushi Kapoor, Kajol, Kriti Sanon, Madhuri Dixit and Rekha, among others, were seen arriving for the festivities.
Beyond the religious significance of Ganesh Chaturthi, the Antilia celebration also became a showcase of Indian festive fashion, with celebrities and guests embracing everything from traditional textiles to heavily embellished couture.
