The 98th Academy Award ceremony, which took place on March 15 at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles, had Isha Ambani in attendance along with her husband, Anand Piramal. The 34-year-old turned heads on the red carpet by going retro with her fashion choice.
Decoding Isha Ambani’s look at the 2026 Oscars
Isha was a picture of elegance at the event, dressed in a vintage Valentino gown with intricate floral embroidery. It was part of the designer’s Fall/Winter 2006-2007 collection, which captures a soft, spring-inspired aesthetic.
The strapless gown has a champagne-tone layer over a fitted black bodice that accentuates the silhouette. The embroidery, scattered on the top and across the flowing skirt, added a graceful touch to the look.
Isha paired the outfit with statement jewellery from Lorraine Schwartz, which included a choker-style necklace with drop diamonds, as well as matching drop earrings.
In the make-up department, Isha followed the less-is-more philosophy with glossy nude lips and warm eyeshadow. The defined brows and minimal blush tied the soft glam look together.
