Radhika stollen the show
Anant and Radhika’s big pre-wedding party ended in a beautiful Italian fishing town called Portofino. After partying on a fancy cruise ship that went from Cannes to France, they finished things off with a luxurious celebration on land. For this final event, the stylish Radhika wore a super old (vintage) designer dress from Dior, made way back in 1959! Let’s find out more about the dress
Vintage dress
Radhika Merchant, the future Mrs. Ambani, chose a pretty red silk dress for the Italian summer party. The dress was old-fashioned (vintage) and looked really nice. It was even once on display at a big museum in New York City! (This museum is likely the Metropolitan Museum of Art, also known as the Met.)
The details
The website of the big museum in New York (likely the Met) says the red dress was donated in 1976. It was made by the House of Dior a long time ago, in 1959 or 1960, for their fall/winter collection. That museum has a huge collection of clothes and accessories from all over the world, dating back many years.
Accessories
Radhika paired the dress with a Hermes Kelly bag, Hangisi Flats. She accessorized the look with earrings.
