It takes some effort to upstage the bride when the wedding bill comes to an exorbitant £250million, but Kim Kardashian almost managed it on Saturday night.
The TV personality was among the guests when the son of India’s richest man Anant Ambani exchanged vows with pharmaceutical heiress Radhika Merchant in a grand star-studded ceremony at the Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai.
After arriving in traditional attire for the wedding ceremony, Kim, who was accompanied by younger sister Khloé, conjured up images of Aladdin’s Princess Jasmine in a stunning red gown and matching cape.
The 43-year-old reality TV star completed her look with emerald green Lorraine Schwartz jewelry, including earrings, rings and an intricately designed headpiece.
Kim rubbed shoulders with a host of guests during the ceremony, including former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, his wife Carrie and their children.

The glamorous and long-awaited event is reported to have cost around £250 million, not taking into account the couple’s estimated £100 million pile-on of luxury wedding gifts and the reception of several of the world’s most followed celebrities.

As it was one of the biggest weddings India has ever seen, police closed the roads around the venue.

As Kim and Khloé, 40, prepared to travel to the “divine blessings” wedding ceremony, the sisters were hard to miss in their extravagant outfits.
On Friday, the sisters were spotted taking part in the pre-wedding festivities, and the SKIMS founder made a bold choice by donning a white bridal ensemble ahead of the big nuptials.
Taking to Instagram, Kim shared a glimpse of her glamorous wedding look, which consisted of a white off-the-shoulder top and matching skirt as she and Khloé boarded a rickshaw to head to the ceremony.

Justin Bieber previously performed at a pre-wedding party for invited guests, known as ‘Sangeet’, and was paid £7m, while sources say Adele, Drake or Lana Del Rey will provide entertainment at a reception on Sunday night.
The groom’s father, Mukesh Ambani, 67, who is listed by Forbes as the world’s ninth richest man with a fortune of £100bn, has already gifted the couple a luxurious £62m villa on Dubai’s Palm Jumeriah, which spreads over 3,000 sq ft, has ten bedrooms and comes with its own private beach.
They also received a Bentley Continental GTC Speed worth 500,000 pounds and a dazzling array of bespoke jewellery and clothing worth millions of pounds.
The groom’s mother, Nita, 60, gifted her daughter-in-law a stunning pearl and diamond choker, valued at an estimated £10million, which is just one of dozens of multi-million pound pieces custom-made for her.
