Here comes the … guest?
Instagram users slammed Kim Kardashian for wearing red not once, but twice, during Indian billionaire heir Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s over-the-top three-day wedding in Mumbai, India over the weekend — with fans pointing out that the color is typically reserved for Indian brides only.
Kardashian, 43, showed off two different scarlet looks at the festivities, wearing a racy red lehenga during Friday’s ceremony and another bold red look with a long veil to Sunday’s event.
The “Kardashians” star kicked off her time in India with sister Khloé Kardashian, 40, by rocking a sparkling two-piece outfit covered in intricate beadwork, pairing her tasseled bra top with a matching skirt and beaded red dupatta.
For Saturday’s wedding celebrations, the Skims founder switched things up with a stunning pale pink and silver lehenga paired with a sheer long-sleeved choli and a matching dupatta.
And on Sunday, the mom of four rocked another red look, wearing a Gaurav Gupta creation featuring a wrapped red fabric top and matching skirt along with a striking red veil.
She was dripping in hundreds of carats of Lorraine Schwartz jewels at each event, including diamonds, emeralds and a show-stopping piece that featured a massive 70-carat diamond chain stretching from her ear to a nose ring.
Kim’s Instagram followers had plenty to say about her red outfits.
“Not supposed to wear red to a wedding in India. That’s saved for the bride,” one fan commented on her post Sunday, while another added, “isn’t wearing red at a Hindu/ Indian wedding equivalent to wearing white to a civil / Christian wedding?”
“I’m Mexican & even I know your NOT supposed to wear Red to an Indian wedding🤦🏻♀️” a third Instagram user commented, while another wrote, “Wearing red to an Indian wedding is diabolical….”
Fashion experts like Eshita Kabra-Davies — who founded resale platform By Rotation — have echoed the same sentiments, with Kabra-Davies telling Who What Wear that rocking red to an Indian wedding was a huge fashion faux pas.
“I would avoid wearing red to any and all events—whether you’re a female or male guest,” she advised the publication.
However, it seems like the Ambanis didn’t mind; Kim was spotted sharing warm interactions with the bride and groom along with his mother and sister.
