The couple stayed out till 7 a.m. When lastly heading to mattress, they noticed a rainbow.

She wore a customized blue leopard-print look by Dolce & Gabbana—her private tackle the mob-wife aesthetic at the moment dominating trend.

Come dusk, it was time to celebration once more. The theme? Mela Rogue, a playful spin on the movie Moulin Rouge. Radhika opted for an outfit designed by Malhotra, who’s famend for his Bollywood costumes. “For the primary look, we selected a contemporary interpretation of the normal ghagra,an Indian marriage ceremony robe, deliberately omitting the dupatta, or scarf, to disclose a meticulous cutwork again that mimicked lace, full with intricate elaborations,” she says. “We wished to reinvent the bow by incorporating a drape across the shoulders for a geometrical distinction of gold and silver in opposition to cool blue.” The ghagra was embellished with Swarovski crystals, and Radhika complemented the outfit with extra jewels by Kantilal Chhotalal.
