Billionaire heiress Isha Ambani brought the bling to Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week.
Spotted at the Rahul Mishra runway show on Monday, the 34-year-old sported not only a suite of Lorraine Schwartz diamond jewelry, but also carried a tiny Hermès bag that packed a huge punch.
Though Ambani’s micro-sized handbag can fit little more than a lipstick, the Birkin Sac Bijou is worth upwards of $2 million, according to Privé Porter and Sotheby’s — making it one of the brand’s most expensive ever.
The purse, which actually belongs to Ambani’s mother, is made of 18K solid white gold and hand-paved with 3,025 brilliant-cut diamonds that total more than 111 carats.
The bag’s bezel-set round-cut diamonds are linked together to create a liquid-like chainmail effect, accentuated by a polished white gold croc-effect on the flap of the bag.
It’s part of the French fashion house’s Haute Bijouterie Collection, designed by Pierre Hardy, and technically a piece of jewelry rather than a handbag.
Not to be outdone by her bag, however, Ambani quite literally doubled down on diamonds, stunning in more than 100 carats of Lorraine Schwartz bling.
Her jaw-dropping necklace features a single 30-carat cushion cut diamond drop on a rivière that boasts an additional 40 carats.
The necklace is nearly identical to Schwartz’ homage to Elizabeth Taylor, created for Demna’s final Balenciaga show, though the center stone is a different cut.
Kim Kardashian modeled the look on the Balenciaga runway last summer, with the jeweler confirming to Natural Diamonds her stone weighed in at the same 30 carats.
Ambani, meanwhile, wore pear-shaped diamond stud earrings, which were encircled in a halo of smaller round diamonds, with the pair totally 25 carats.
And, for her grand finale, she added a 7-carat oval-cut diamond ring on her left hand.
