For the starry-night, Radhika wore a gown designed by Robert Wun. Printed on the chiffon was a love letter that Anant wrote to her when she was 22. On this day, the couple witnessed a surprise concert by the Backstreet Boys.

After spending the next day in Rome, the Ambanis held a toga party back on deck. For this, Radhika wore a custom toga designed by emerging New York-based designed Grace Ling. It featured an aerospace aluminum breastplate.

On the third day of the cruise, the Ambanis along with 1200 guests docked in Cannes for a masquerade ball at Chateau de la Croix des Gardes. Radhika chose a custom Versace dress with blue shades to match the colour of the Cote d’ Azur water.

In the evening, the Ambanis had Katy Perry perform for them. The final night of celebrations took place in Portofino. For this, the Ambanis took over the main square and transformed it into an open-air market complete with food stalls.

For the occasion, Radhika wore a rare piece of fashion history — an archival Yves Saint Laurent for Dior dress. At night, legendary Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli performed for the guests of the Ambanis.

Radhika Merchant also revealed that the celebrations will be followed by multiple pujas as well as a traditional sangeet ceremony over the next few weeks. Radhika and Anant Ambami are all set to tie the knot on July 12, 2024, in Mumbai.
