Welcoming everyone to the show, Isha, who looked ethereal in a stunning black ensemble with motifs and intricate detailing, spoke about what The New Order of Style is all about. “At Jio World Plaza we hope to bring to you the best of fashion, design, and entertainment from India and around the world, and that’s what the show tonight is all about. It celebrates art, culture, music, sport, dance, and, of course, a lot of style. At the NMACC opening, my mother [Nita Mukesh Ambani] shared her vision to showcase the best of India to the world and bring the best of the world to India. Jio World Plaza is another step in this direction. This mall is the result of her vision, passion, and dedication.
