In an era when luxury is increasingly defined by collaborations, Shloka Ambani’s latest appearance offers a compelling case for cultural crossover done right. Her hybrid Prada and Swadesh ensemble captures a moment where Italian savoir faire and Indian craftsmanship converge.

The base of her look is a Prada gown cut in a warm metallic sheath silhouette. The entire surface of the gown is covered in crystals and sequins, giving the silhouette subtle luminosity. Along the gown’s scoop neckline and empire waist, the embellishment is intensified with crystals and coloured gemstones. Subtle cut-outs trace the sides from just below the bust line, contouring the waist before extending into a dramatic open scoop back.
The Indian inflexion arrives in the form of a detachable overskirt by Swadesh. The detail transforms the contemporary gown into a hybrid evening lehenga. Rendered in a pale gold handwoven textile, the handwoven overskirt sweeps out and trails generously across the floor. Zari woven hibiscus motifs are scattered across the expanse; each bloom serves as a testament to artisanal labour. The textile carries the gentle irregularities that mark handloom craft, offering a tactile counterpoint to the gown’s high gloss surface. When layered together, the overskirt reframes the contemporary gown within an Indian ceremonial context.
Her jewellery amplified the look’s high-octane glamour. She leaned into OTT diamonds, framed by a statement necklace that nodded to Art Deco geometry with its structured lines and tiered clusters. Matching drop earrings and diamond bracelets added further brilliance. On the other wrist, she juxtaposed her accessory look with a stack of classic kadas worn alongside a white timepiece. For beauty, she kept the focus balanced. Her hair was styled half-up, half-down and makeup remained minimal with defined eyes and a wash of peach gloss.
