Instagram users criticized Kim Kardashian for wearing red twice during Indian billionaire heir Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s extravagant three-day wedding in Mumbai, India over the weekend, noting that red is traditionally reserved for Indian brides.

Kardashian, 43, showcased two scarlet outfits during the celebrations: a daring red lehenga on Friday and another bold red ensemble with a long veil on Sunday.

The star began her Indian journey with sister Khloé Kardashian, 40, in a dazzling two-piece outfit adorned with intricate beadwork, featuring a tasseled bra top, matching skirt, and beaded red dupatta.

On Saturday, the Skims founder opted for a stunning pale pink and silver lehenga with a sheer long-sleeved choli and matching dupatta.

Sunday saw Kim donning another red creation by Gaurav Gupta, consisting of a wrapped red fabric top, matching skirt, and striking red veil.

Throughout the events, she adorned herself with hundreds of carats of Lorraine Schwartz jewels, including diamonds, emeralds, and a notable piece featuring a 70-carat diamond chain extending from her ear to a nose ring.

Kim’s choices sparked discussion among her Instagram followers.

“Not supposed to wear red to a wedding in India. That’s saved for the bride,” one fan commented on her post Sunday, while another added, “isn’t wearing red at a Hindu/ Indian wedding equivalent to wearing white to a civil / Christian wedding?”
