PrettyLittleThing founder Umar Kamani’s secret gesture to wife at £20m wedding revealed – and it involves a music legend
PRETTYLITTLETHING founder Umar Kamani’s secret gesture to his wife at their £20million wedding can be revealed.
The billionaire businessman, 36 splashed eight figures on a four-day extravaganza as he wed model Nada Adelle, 31, at a five-star hotel in the South of France.
While it’s already been reported that Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli sang as Nada walked down the aisle, The Sun has since learnt how Umar ensured his bride would be surprised.
One attendee told us: “Umar kept Andrea’s performance a secret from everyone.
“Nada had said that it was her dream to have him there but Umar insisted he couldn’t get the deal done.
“When Andrea took to the stage, it was the surprise of the weekend for Nada. She was over the moon.”
Umar also jetted in Mariah Carey as guest of honour for the black-tie ceremony on Friday, following a white-themed party the previous evening.
In a Dior gown, the superstar songstress serenaded the guests with hits including Hero, Always Be My Baby and Emotions.
Umar’s close pal, ex-Coronation Street actor Richard Fleeshman performed Moon Dance at the reception.
The guest list at the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc included Kate and Rio Ferdinand, Anthony Joshua, Ronan Keating, Tinie Tempah, Christina Milian, Naomi Campbell, Steven Bartlett, and Holly Valance with her property tycoon husband Nick Candy.
Guests were served a three-course meal of burrata and grilled tomatoes with an almond and herb salad followed by roast beef and peppercorn sauce.
The dessert included chocolate mousse paired with vanilla ice cream.
Former Corrie star Ryan Thomas — joined by partner Lucy Mecklenburgh and brothers Adam and Scott — gave a hilarious best man speech.
Each guest was treated to huge gift bags, printed with the monograms of the bride and groom.
The treats were left in their luxury bedrooms at the hotel, where a junior suite is £3,000 a night.
Umar set up PrettyLittleThing in 2012 with his brother Adam.
Umar — who proposed to Nada with a £1.45million diamond ring in 2021 — lavished pals with treatments in the Dior spa.
