 Isha Ambani is taking sister-of-the-groom fashion to new heights as the wedding day of her brother Anant Ambani draws close. For the latest pre-wedding event, Isha rocked quite a different look from her usual style.

Isha's Tamilian-inspired look

The businesswoman wore a teal raw silk lehenga with pink border and golden blouse. She paired it with a golden necklace, adorned with massive emeralds. What stole the show was her hairstyle for the look--the traditional Tamilian jadai.

The jadai hairstyle consists of three parts. There is rakodi at the top (representing the cycle of life), on the bun, in between all the mogra flowers. Next comes the braid, the actual jadai. In Isha's case, it seems to have been done with a golden thread. The braid ends with a kunjalam – consisting of three tiny baubles. The look is finished with jimmkis (earrings), and golden sun and moon on either side of the hair partition.

Isha is the daughter of Asia's richest man, Reliance Industries chairperson Mukesh Ambani and Nita Ambani. She is married to Anand Piramal and has a son and a daughter.
