Anyone who is anyone attended the wedding of Indian billionaire Anant Ambani to pharmaceutical heiress Radhika Merchant - including Kim Kardashian.

The lavish wedding has been estimated to have cost a whopping $156 million at it's highest, according to the BBC.

It is so large, in fact, that traffic police in Mumbai issued a statement confirming that roads were to be closed and traffic redirected for a 'public event'.

As for the guest list, it's not so much star-studded as blindingly bedazzled.

Big names included dozens of Bollywood movie stars, cricketers, former British Prime Ministers Tony Blair and Boris Johnson, wrestler and actor John Cena, and FIFA president Gianni Infantino, among many others.

And now Kim Kardashian can also be added to the extensive guest list, with the star being spotted at the wedding as well as posting a video of herself getting ready.

In the clip, the reality TV star is sporting a red lehenga, a traditional Indian garment, as she prepares to head to the wedding with her sister, Khloé Kardashian.

Kardashian is reported to have brought a team of stylists with her and her sister get the pair ready for the ceremony, according to the BBC.

The Kardashians star also shared a Instagram video of her and Khloé posing before making their way to the ceremonies.

She wrote that she and Khloé were 'just so happy' to be travelling together and they were still filming their show, so viewers would be able to see 'Kim and Khloé take India'.

The final ceremony has come after months of parties, and saw Ambani finally tying the knot with Merchant.

However, father of the groom, Mukesh Ambani, a business tycoon with an estimated net worth of $123.7 billion, has remained tight-lipped about the costs of the wedding.

Some Mumbai residents have criticised the wedding over the ostentatious display of wealth and the disruption caused by road closures, and claimed these have worsened already bad traffic problems in Mumbai caused by monsoon season.

The breadth and status of attendees at the wedding has also highlighted for some India's growing status as a 'powerful symbol of India's growing stature on the global stage'.

The wedding has also caused controversy, with opposition politician Thomas Isaac criticising the enormous show of wealth amid massive economic inequality.

In a post on X, the politician from the southern state of Kerala wrote: "Legally it may be their money but such ostentatious expenditure is a sin against mother earth and (the) poor."
