Isha Ambani's dress was stunning, but we couldn't stop looking at her heirloom jewels
Isha Ambani arrived at the Serpentine Summer Party in a Steve O Smith look with jewels from Nita Ambani's personal collection.
Whether it's a daytime event or an evening soire, Isha Ambani understands the assignment, and on most occasions she tries to add a personal touch, bringing a fashion-forward edge to her attire.
For this year's Serpentine Summer Party in London, an annual fundraiser, Ambani stepped out in a look that felt artistic, dramatic and elegant all at once. While she wore a dress designed by UK-based Steve O Smith, her accessories did much of the talking. Of course, there was a personal connection too, with jewels borrowed from her mother, Nita Ambani's, collection, alongside rare gemstones.
Isha Ambani's crimson elegance
First, let's have a closer look at her jewellery. Because, hello, don't they always steal the show?
Ambani's jewellery was every bit eye-catching and so was her outfit. According to Town and Country Magazine, she stacked on statement rings, including a rare pink sapphire-and-diamond piece, a 14.4-carat tourmaline ring framed by diamonds, and a spectacular double rubellite ring featuring two cushion-cut stones weighing 28.44 and 25.74 carats.
Adding a touch of sentimental glamour, her earrings were from her mother's jewellery collection. And it's not the first time she has dipped into Nita Ambani's much-talked-about jewellery vault. Just months ago, for the Met Gala 2026, she accessorised her outfit with over 1,800 carats of diamonds and precious gemstones, many sourced from Nita Ambani's personal collection.
Interestingly, the jewellery designer behind her recent fundraiser look has worked with the Ambani family before. Earlier, Nita Ambani was seen wearing a floral necklace set from Glenn Spiro Jewels as well.
Now, coming to her dress. Ambani wore a striking red-and-black ensemble punctuated with shades of pink and crimson. It was built on a fluid red silk georgette slip layered with a sheer crimson tulle overlay. The silhouette was brought to life with black tulle applique that created an almost hand-painted effect across the bodice, while a blush-pink silk satin sash wrapped around the waist added a contrast.
Intricate black glass beads and stacked sequins embroidered onto the sash introduced texture and subtle sparkle, giving the ensemble a couture-like finish without overwhelming the look. The interplay of scarlet, blush pink and black made all the difference.
For the glam quotient, her makeup featured softly defined eyes and bold red lips that echoed the rich crimson tones of the outfit. A sleek centre-parted updo with face-framing side locks added to the refined aesthetic.
The Serpentine Summer Party is the gallery's flagship annual fundraiser and one of London's most exclusive invitation-only cultural events. Hosted in Kensington Gardens, it brings together leading names from the worlds of art, fashion, business and entertainment in support of the Serpentine's programmes.
According to the website, since opening in 1970, the institution has remained committed to making art accessible to everyone, offering free entry to the public year-round.
