Reliance Foundation Chairperson Nita Ambani was the epitome of grace at US President-Elect Donald Trump’s private reception ahead of his swearing-in ceremony in Washington as she turned heads with her sartorial choices.
Draped in a custom-made, traditional Kanchipuram silk saree, woven by National Award-winning master artisan B. Krishnamoorthy, Nita Ambani carried the soul of India on the global stage.
The sari was designed with extensive research to feature over 100 significant traditional motifs inspired by the spiritual and historical essence of Kanchipuram’s grand temples. It featured intricate and meticulously chosen motifs like the Iruthalaipakshi (double-headed eagle symbolising Lord Vishnu), Mayil (representing immortality and divinity), and the mythical Sorgavasal animal trails (embodying the charm of India’s rich folklore). Adding a contemporary touch, the saree was paired with a Manish Malhotra velvet blouse with a built-up neckline and intricate beadwork along the sleeve hem, epitomising timeless sophistication.
Complementing the masterpiece was a 200-year-old rare Indian pendant crafted in southern India — a parrot-shaped treasure encrusted with emeralds, rubies, diamonds, and pearls set in gold Kundan technique with red and green enamel.
Through the unique ensemble, Nita Ambani celebrated the eternal beauty of Indian traditions, honouring the country’s artisans and once again bringing global spotlight to their unparalleled craftsmanship.
Earlier on Sunday, Nita Ambani and Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani extended their congratulations to US President-elect Donald Trump at the private reception ahead of his inauguration.
The Ambanis expressed their hope for deeper India-US relations to the president-elect and wished him a transformative second term of leadership at the White House. The power couple further emphasised the potential for progress and collaboration between the two nations and the world during his presidency.
The couple will be attending Trump’s inauguration ceremony at the US Capitol on January 20, according to an official involved with planning the event. The couple will have a prominent spot at the ceremony, seated together on the platform with other notable guests, including Trump’s Cabinet nominees and elected officials.
