Kim Kardashian, Khloé Kardashian, John Cena, Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra were among the celebrities on the star-studded guest list for the extravagant wedding of the youngest son of Asia's richest man, Indian billionaire Mukash Ambani.

Adele, Drake, Lana Del Rey and David Beckham and former British Prime Ministers Boris Johnson and Tony Blair will also be in attendance at the nuptials of Anant Ambani and his fiancée, Radhika Merchant, local media reported via The Associated Press.

The four-day wedding festivities in Mumbai, India, will begin with a traditional Hindu wedding ceremony on Friday, followed by a grand reception lasting through the weekend.

The Kardashian sisters sported traditional Indian outfits in photos and videos that Kim, 43, shared on her Instagram Story on Friday.

Kim wore a crimson lehenga embellished with sparkling beads and sequins. The lehenga included a strappy, tasselled crop top, a floor-length skirt, and a shawl-like draped scarf known as a dupatta. The SKIMS founder accessorized her outfit with two diamond necklaces, a diamond maang tikka, and a diamond chain bracelet.

The color of Kim's wedding outfit could be seen as a break from Hindu wedding etiquette, as the bride typically wears red, according to People magazine.

Khloe wore a gold and white off-shoulder long-sleeved lehenga with a matching dupatta. She completed her look with a layered gold choker and a white and gold maang tikka.

Kim shared videos of herself getting ready for the evening, showing off her outfit as she walked down a set of marble stairs. She also uploaded videos of herself and her sister posing with wedding guests.

“I had to screenshot our video because we are so happy to be lucky enough to travel the world together!” Kim captioned a picture of herself and Khloé.

“And of course we're also filming The Kardashians so you can watch Kim and Khloe conquer India,” she added with an Indian flag emoji.

Other celebrity guests joined the Kardashians in traditional Indian attire for the celebration. Chopra was photographed in a marigold yellow beaded lehenga set that included a crop top with dangling beads, a floor-length skirt with wide pleats, and an embellished light orange dupatta. Jonas opted for a pale pink sherwani set that consisted of a fitted knee-length coat with matching silk pants.

Cena sported a light blue sherwani with silver embroidery on the shoulders, baggy white pants and brown shoes. The WWE star smiled broadly and flashed a peace sign as he posed for the cameras.

This weekend's celebrations will be held at the Ambani-owned Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai and the Ambani family home, and are the culmination of months of wedding events that included performances by pop stars including Rihanna and Justin Bieber.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the wedding extravaganza is estimated to cost more than $600 million. The groom's father, Mukesh, 66, is the ninth richest man in the world, with a net worth of $116 billion, according to Forbes. Reliance Industries, owned by Mukesh, is a massive conglomerate that reports more than $100 billion in annual revenue and has interests in sectors including petrochemicals, oil and gas, telecommunications and retail.

Ambani's son Anant oversees the conglomerate's expansion of green and renewable energy. He also runs a 3,000-acre animal rescue center in Jamnagar in the family's hometown of Gujarat state.

The bride, Radhika Merchant, 29, is the daughter of pharmaceutical magnate Viren Merchant and is the chief marketing officer of his company, Encore Healthcare, according to Vogue.
