Kim Kardashian has raised eyebrows with her fashion choice as she and sister Khloe Kardashian attend the high-profile wedding of Anant Ambani in India. The 43-year-old was just one of many celebrity guests invited to celebrate the nuptials of Anant to Radhika Merchant — while Anant’s father is India’s richest man, Radhika is the daughter of a billionaire pharmaceuticals mogul. Injecting traditional Indian style into her red outfit, Kim rocked up to the Mumbai-held bash in a plunging two-piece look, one quickly criticized for not being modest enough. The wedding, said to have cost $600 million, also included performances by singers Rihanna and Justin Bieber.

Scroll for all the photos. Wearing a tassel-accent lehenga as she channeled traditional accents into her show-stopping look, Kim squeezed her curves into a plunging, thin-strapped bra in red, one matching a long flowing skirt. Draping a shawl-like sash over one shoulder, the SKIMS founder showed off her cleavage and 24-inch waist in her two-piece, with sister Khloe wearing a similar ensemble in white and gold.

As Mumbai closed off streets and father of the groom Mukesh Ambani footed the bill with his $123 billion net worth, Kim and Khloe mingled with the crowd, but it looks like Kim has sparked drama. When The Daily Mail shared her look, users were quick to pounce. “I’ve been to India. Wearing something that revealing isn’t respectful to the culture and country. Not surprised at this behavior from her,” one user wrote, gaining approval from over 700 others.
“As an Indian woman yes it is a little revealing but our lenghas (outfits) are made modern. She shoulda have covered her [chest] in my opinion this would not be a good look at any Indian wedding,” another replied.
‘No Respect For The Culture’

Also slamming the clothing designer’s outfit was a fan writing: “No modesty, no respect for the culture, or the event.”
There’s no word on how much Kim and 40-year-old sibling Khloe were paid to attend, or even if they did charge a fee. That said, both Rihanna and Justin Bieber are said to have been paid to perform. RiRi is said to have walked away with $6 million just for singing at the bash.

Others commenting remarked on the staggering amount spent for the nuptials. “Fabulous. Pity some in India don’t have running water. People even now have to trek long distances for their water supply,” one wrote. India is known for its wealth divide.
While a select few enjoy immense wealth, the vast majority of the country struggles well below the poverty line.
