Pretty Little Thing’s founder Umar Kamani married Nada Kamani in a £20million ceremony on Friday.
The fashion brand CEO, 36, and his bride Nada, 31, tied the knot with a glamorous multicultural wedding at the iconic Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc in the South of France – after a fairytale proposal in August 2021.
The ceremony took place at the Grand Allée in the lavish hotel and was certainly one for the books as it hosted a variety of celebrity guests and featured musical performances from Mariah Carey and Andrea Bocelli.
The day of celebrations brought together their celeb pals, from supermodel Naomi Campbell to actor Tessa Thompson, comedian Russell Peters, singer Christina Milian, Arabia editor-in-chief Manuel Arnaut, and Red Sea Film Festival Foundation CEO Mohammed Al Turki.
Uma’s close friend, ex Coronation Street star Ryan Thomas served as one of the Best Men.
Nada looked radiant in a custom Maria Grazia Chiuri-designed Dior gown which boasted an impressive train and simple capped sleeves.

Fast fashion boss Umar looked incredibly dapper as he waited under a seaside gazebo in a classic Tom Ford tuxedo.
Andrea Bocelli also added to the romantic ambience as he performed one of his greatest songs ‘The Prayer’ for Nada’s walk down the aisle as a full orchestra joined him.
On May 4 the couple will celebrate again with their Indian nuptials while a laid back barbeque on Sunday will complete the four day extravaganza. A glam white party kicked off the celebrations on Thursday.
In an exclusive interview with Vogue Arabia, the newlyweds revealed that their first meeting at the altar was among the most special of the weekend.
Nada shared: ‘It’s something every little girl dreams about, but to do it in such style, in such beautiful surroundings – and of course to the man of my dreams! – was really a fairytale.’
Umar added: ‘What can I say? I was speechless when I saw Nada in that dress. It was the most emotional moment.’
The couple hired event planners Banana Split to bring their dream venue to life, fusing a western style white wedding, and an Indian wedding.
After the romantic al fresco ceremony, guests enjoyed an elegant old-fashioned black-tie dinner before a late night afterparty, which included a special surprise performance from music icon Mariah Carey.

For the occasion, Nada dressed in a stunning custom-made Zuhair Murad gown and completed the look with several elegant jewellery items.
It comes after Umar popped the question in Côte d’Azur in 2021, which inevitably made choosing the wedding location a straightforward task for Nada.
He hired out the Monte Carlo Opera House and had several professional photographers on hand to capture the moment.
In typically extravagant fashion, Umar filled the historic theatre with 10,000 white roses, and dozens of candles while 25 musicians played Beauty and the Beast as radiant Nadia walked into the room.

Guests stayed at Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc for Umar and Nada’s lavish four-day wedding celebrations
Although she married the king of fast fashion, Nada eschewed his brands for a £1,790 slinky white gown with bejewelled straps and cut-out detailing from London-based designer David Koma for the occasion.
The dress perfectly complemented her ring – a 21-carat diamond sparkler flown in from New York celebrity jeweller Richard Nektalov.
Umar, whose family built their fashion empire from a Manchester market stall into a multi-billion pound business, looked dapper in a £4,300 Tom Ford suit and £730,000 Patek Philippe watch.
The breathtaking proposal came after a whirlwind romance for Umar and Nadia, who only stepped out publicly together for the first time in March 2020.
