Mumbai: Radhika Merchant once again proved that quiet luxury is not just a trend but a personal language. The Ambani daughter-in-law was seen attending the NSE event in Mumbai, dressed in a simple pastel-green suit that instantly caught social media’s attention. Without dramatic styling, bold jewellery, or layered glamour, the look relied entirely on elegance, poise and the unmistakable aura that Radhika has become known for. The outfit featured a straight-cut kurta paired with a matching dupatta and sleek trousers, the silhouette maintained clean lines and minimal movement. The fabric choice seemed soft and lightweight, adding to the understated charm. Instead of heavy ornaments, she wore a delicate necklace and small earrings, allowing her natural features to remain the focus. Her makeup was kept fresh — dewy base, subtle eyeliner, and a soft nude lip, all reinforcing that effortless wealthy aesthetic. The rise of “soft rich energy”In recent months, Radhika has gained recognition for what fashion watchers online are calling the “soft rich energy” look — a style rooted in simplicity, composure, and finish rather than loud logos or heavy embellishments. The visual impact comes not from what she wears, but from how she wears it — confident, unhurried and intentional. Gen-Z users on social platforms have especially latched onto this. One fan posted, “Radhika doesn’t dress to impress. She dresses like the room is already impressed.” Another wrote, “She’s not even trying — the elegance is built-in.” Her approach marks a continued shift in India’s elite fashion culture — from maximalism and bridal extravagance to something more pared-back and globally relevant. It’s the kind of aesthetic that seems to say: money whispers. An evolving public personaRadhika’s appearances over the past year — from her pre-wedding festivities to casual Mumbai outings — have shaped a new celebrity style narrative. Unlike traditional Bollywood glamour or influencer-driven trends, her style leans into heritage fabrics, pastel palettes, and thoughtful detailing. It’s minimal but never plain; sophisticated but never flashy. Fashion commentators note this is perfectly aligned with her personality — warm, grounded and self-assured. And with the Ambani family’s events only increasing in scale and visibility, her style influence is only expected to grow. Fashion Breakdown While the exact designer of the pastel-green ensemble has not been officially confirmed, fashion trackers suggest it may be from one of Radhika’s frequent go-to labels known for refined Indian tailoring and airy pastels — names like Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla, Anavila, Raw Mango or Arpita Mehta are often associated with her understated wardrobe choices. The suit’s matte silk texture and minimal embroidery point to a custom or limited-edition atelier piece rather than an off-the-rack outfit. For beauty, Radhika opted for a fresh, barely-there makeup look — natural skin finish, softly defined brows, and a muted lip tint — a style that has now become her signature. Her hair was styled into a smooth half-tie with gentle waves, adding softness without overpowering the simplicity of the clothing. The subtle diamond studs and the single delicate necklace carried the ensemble with ease, proving once again that the right accessories speak louder when they are few. Also on the scene The event also saw signature style moments from other members of the Ambani family: Nita Ambani chose a flowing floral saree in pastel tones, paired with layered pearl jewellery — a look that balanced grace with grandeur. Shloka Mehta opted for a contemporary ethnic look — a navy embroidered co-ord set with an off-white cape, carrying modernity with classic finesse.
