Isha Ambani’s Schiaparelli saree is not the fashion house’s first, unlike the Valentino lehenga she wore for her wedding. Details

Did Isha Ambani wear the first-ever Schiaparelli saree?

Isha Ambani chose a vibrant blue Schiaparelli saree for last night’s star-studded sangeet ceremony. Many reports called the ensemble the first-ever saree designed by the Maison. However, the Instagram page @couturesoireebyadeel, run by Adeel R, pointed out that the ensemble is the first-ever saree designed by Schiaparelli creative director Daniel Roseberry. They added that the first ever Schiaparelli saree was created by Elsa Schiaparelli herself in 1935 for a collection, which was inspired by Maharani Sita Devi of Kapurthala. She was also known as Princess Karam.

According to Diet Sabya, on being the source for Schiaparelli‘s design, Princess Karam said, “I was thrilled to see that some of the dressmakers were actually inspired for their new models this year by some of the saris I wore in the summer of 1934.”

Isha Ambani’s Valentino lehenga

Isha Ambani has cemented her love for couture and archival fashion with her sartorial elegance these past few years. Though last night’s Schiaparelli saree was not the first ever designed by the avant-garde Italian Maison, it indeed was a piece of art worth swooning over.

However, it did remind us of the Valentino lehenga she wore in 2018. Maison Valentino designed their first-ever lehenga for the heiress, and she wore it to her wedding reception on December 12, 2018. The golden lehenga, featuring lace detailing and embellishments, was one of a kind. It was the first and only lehenga the Italian luxury fashion house had designed.
