Radhika Merchant Looks Straight Out of a Fairytale!
For the occasion, Radhika opted for a timeless blend of vintage and contemporary fashion. She wore a classic 1990s Vivienne Westwood corset paired with a custom-made saree. The ivory silk corset, a masterpiece from the designer’s archives, featured the famous painting Daphnis and Chloe by French artist François Boucher. With its sleeveless design, sweetheart neckline, and asymmetrical hem, the corset added a regal touch to her look.
Complementing the corset, Radhika draped a custom silk saree adorned with Renaissance-style artwork and a golden border. She elegantly held the pallu in one hand, letting the floor-sweeping drape add grandeur to her presence.
Minimal Accessories & Elegant Styling
Styled by Rhea Kapoor, Radhika kept her accessories minimal yet striking. She paired her outfit with a statement white choker necklace featuring a studded white stone, diamond ear studs, and a black beaded bracelet.
Her makeup was soft and sophisticated—nude eyeshadow, black eyeliner, voluminous mascara, contoured cheeks, and a subtle pink lipstick completed her radiant look. She styled her hair in a sleek middle-parted bun, allowing her ensemble to take center stage.
