The Ambanis never fail to impress us with their sartorial excellence. For special events, women of this khandaan often pay homage to their cultural roots and opt for bandhani/bandhej, a popular art tie-dye textile from Gujarat. For all occasions, Ambani bahus and betis give a twist to bandhani with new draping formats, print and embroidery combination, and a lot more. Here’s how you can style one.
Radhika Merchant’s Princess Lehenga
Like an Indian princess, Radhika brings bandhani to her closet through a traditional lehenga. Like Radhika, you can combine the traditional dotted design with other print patterns and opt for a lehenga with a Gujarati style pallu, draped on one side.
Isha Ambani’s New Age Saree
Give this traditional textile, a modern twist with a ruffle saree. Here, Isha Ambani picked the signature Arpita Mehta saree, but gave it a traditional spin with patches of bandhani patterns running throughout the pallu. Well, you can also add a little bandhani belt to complete the look.

Like Shloka Mehta, give bandhej, a barbiecore spin using a long-trailing saree. Here, you can experiment with a variety of colour combinations, gotta work and multiple borders to give your saree a more authentic Indian look.
The Gujarati Drape
Learn it from the OG to style a traditional Gujarati saree for special functions. Like Nita Ambani, style a two-toned saree featuring the traditional bandhani pattern, running throughout. You can style the same with a delicately embroidered blouse of the same shade.
The Bridal Affair
For brides, Isha Ambani suggests punctuating a monochromatic bridal lehenga with a red bandhani dupatta. Pick the dupatta in the shade you love and accessorise it as per your choice.
