The official handle of Grace Ling Couture took to social media to break down the outfit that was customized for the bride-to-be.

"INTRODUCING GRACE LING COUTURE - For the Ambani Royal Wedding. This look is made for the bride-to-be, Radhika Merchant's, Toga-themed wedding party.

The vision was a Royal Princess "draped" in fabric-effect, 3D-carved and sculpted out of Aerospace aluminum technology. Seemingly fluid and delicate, yet armoured. The new era of using technology in couture. Took 30 artisans to complete this to perfection. So honoured to be trusted with this dress for your special moment Radhika! You're such a beautiful soul and I am sooo happy for you and Anant!!"
