Social media is abuzz with discussions about the wedding of millionaire and inDrive CEO Arsen Tomsky to Kamilla Lukpanova. The celebration took place at the Four Seasons hotel in Istanbul, reports infohub.kz.
The ceremony was hosted by Ivan Urgant, and among the invited performers was Valery Meladze. Notable guests included Olympic champion Mikhail Shaidorov with his girlfriend Aislu Murzagalieva, actor and producer Nurlan Koyanbayev, investor Margulan Seisembayev, founder of Technodom Operator JSC Eduard Kim, president of Astana Group Nurlan Smagulov, and other businessmen.
Social media users noted the restrained style of the wedding, without gold or flashy luxury. One user wrote: "It's so rare when money and good taste coincide. Very beautiful, refined, without loud decoration."
The bride's look was also modest but incredibly stylish. Kamilla Lukpanova chose nude makeup, a white dress without embellishments or embroidery, with open shoulders and a train. It is likely the Jess model from the premium bridal brand Eva Lendel, costing at least $2,500. The bride's hairstyle was simple — hair gathered in a bun.
Preparations for the wedding became known in June, when Tomsky spoke about the Kazakh pre-wedding rituals syrga salu and kuda tusu, which took place in Uralsk, the bride's hometown. Kamilla Lukpanova previously headed the Almaty Tourism Bureau, founded the Tana Foundation focused on urbanism, and was educated in Almaty. According to social media, she has recently been living and studying in London.
In 2022, Arsen Tomsky moved inDrive's office from Russia to Kazakhstan and obtained Kazakhstani citizenship. In May 2024, he ranked 10th in the list of the richest businessmen in Kazakhstan with a fortune of $920 million. This is not Tomsky's first marriage — he has two daughters. Kamilla Lukpanova also has a daughter.
On the eve of the wedding, Tomsky visited the Kursiv Talks podcast, where he discussed business, shared forecasts for the future, and reflected on his childhood and development.
