Kim Kardashian made a series of fashion faux pas at the Ambani wedding celebrations in Mumbai over the weekend.
With a quarter-billion-pound budget, a guest list rivaling the Met Gala, and a host of former world leaders dancing the night away, the Ambani wedding was arguably the biggest in the world.

It's no surprise then that Kim, 43, was on the VIP guest list, joining the likes of Boris and Carrie Johnson, Priyanka Chopra, and Nick Jonas to celebrate the union of Anant and Radhika Ambani, both 29. However, unlike the other guests, the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star appeared to neglect tradition with her attire, despite opting for Indian-inspired outfits.
In a move that might be considered inappropriate, Kim donned the bride's color of red—a blunder similar to a guest wearing white at a Western wedding—and sported a nose ring, called a nath, traditionally reserved for the bride. The TV personality was among the VIP guests as Anant Ambani, the son of India's richest man, exchanged vows with pharmaceuticals heiress Radhika Merchant in a star-studded ceremony at the Jio World Convention Centre, Mumbai.

Hindu priests conducted the ceremony, chanting ancient Sanskrit verses while the couple walked around a sacred fire, taking seven vows to solemnize their marriage. On Saturday, a traditional 'divine blessings ceremony' known as 'The Shubh Aashirwad' took place at the same venue that hosted the reception. The dates for the ceremonies were chosen by a Hindu priest according to auspicious days on Anant and Radhika's birth charts. Given that the celebrations spanned multiple days, it's no surprise that Kim planned a series of outfit changes.
On Friday, the Skims founder revealed her first Bollywood-inspired outfit—a red lehenga, a traditional ensemble made of an ankle-length skirt and a matching top. "I'm going to a wedding," Kim said in a video on her Instagram Stories. She also shared that the cameras for her TV show The Kardashians were with her. Despite it being her first look of the event, Kim had already committed an etiquette error by wearing red. In Hindu traditions, red is reserved for the bride, meaning guests should avoid the color to prevent upsetting or overshadowing her.

Brides wear red as a sign of good luck for the future, prosperity, and to ward off evil spirits. Kim was not the only one, with the likes of Cherie Blair, the wife of former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair, also donning red to the wedding celebrations. The 43-year-old's lehenga top might also be considered unsuitable. While lehenga tops vary and often embrace modernity, many choose to dress modestly when attending a Hindu ceremony. It wasn't the mother-of-four's only red look, as she chose a ruby red ensemble on Sunday evening.

The reality TV star completed her look with emerald green jewels from Lorraine Schwartz, including rings, earrings, and an intricately designed headpiece. While the Lorraine Schwartz pieces went without drama, Kim's nose ring complementing her ivory sari on another occasion was a controversial choice. Kim attended the Blessings Ceremony on Sunday in a traditional lehenga skirt adorned with intricate beaded detailing, while Khloé Kardashian stunned in a dramatic pink ensemble. As Kim and Khloé prepared to travel to the wedding's 'divine blessings' ceremony, the sisters were hard to miss in their extravagant outfits.

This time, it wasn't Kim's outfit but her nose ring, or nath, that caused controversy. The nath, a statement nose jewel connecting to the ear or a hairpiece, is traditionally worn by Hindu brides as it symbolizes marriage status and fertility. Elsewhere, Kim took to Instagram to share a post from India in a Skims bra over the weekend, captioning it: "Bless me." The addition of a red bindi on her forehead indicated that she had attended one of the religious ceremonies. However, her attire could be considered disrespectful if worn in a religious setting, as attendees of religious events often choose to cover their chest and shoulders.
