Kim Kardashian received backlash from Instagram users for wearing red clothing on two separate occasions during the lavish three-day wedding of Indian billionaire heir Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant in Mumbai, India over the weekend. Many fans noted that the color red is typically reserved for Indian brides.
The reality TV star, aged 43, displayed two unique scarlet outfits during the festivities. She wowed in a vibrant red lehenga on Friday and maintained her fashion statement on Sunday with a different eye-catching red attire paired with a lengthy veil.
Kim, along with her sister Khloé Kardashian, kicked off her Indian wedding journey in a dazzling two-piece ensemble embellished with detailed beadwork. She combined a fringed bra top with a coordinating skirt and a beaded red dupatta.
For Saturday's celebration, the Skims founder decided to change things up by choosing a beautiful pale pink and silver lehenga, complemented with a sheer long-sleeved choli and a matching dupatta.
She made a comeback to the color red on Sunday, wearing a Gaurav Gupta ensemble consisting of a draped red fabric top, coordinating skirt, and a striking red veil. Kim accessorized with extravagant Lorraine Schwartz jewelry at every occasion, showcasing diamonds and emeralds, and a stunning 70-carat diamond piece that extended from her ear to a nose ring.
Instagram users were vocal about Kim's decision to wear red outfits. One user mentioned, “In India, red is reserved for the bride, not guests at a wedding,” while another compared it to wearing white to a Christian wedding.
Eshita Kabra-Davies, the founder of the resale platform By Rotation, also echoed the same views. She cautioned against wearing red to any occasion, highlighting it as a significant fashion blunder at Indian weddings.
The Ambani family seemed unfazed by the criticism, as Kim was observed engaging warmly with the bride, groom, and their family during the festivities.
