The latest cover of L’Officiel India has Dita Von Teese on the cover wearing a Louis Vuitton scarf and a Suneet Verma lehenga skirt.The spread was shot by photographer Fabio Chizzola in New York City and has Dita wearing even a sari and carrying several Louis Vuitton clutches.

Here is what Dita and Ami have to say about this collaboration:

“I was thrilled to be photographed for the cover of L’Official India! I have been fascinated by the beauty of feminine attire of India, so to wear a combination of mainstream modern fashion and elegant classic traditional dress for L’Official India was a wonderful experience for me.”
– Dita Von Teese

“The elite L’Officiel readers have simply loved the cover, Dita is both a fashion icon and a stunning model, and to see her in carrying of traditional Indian couture was a big treat for all her fans world wide.”
– Ami Patel, Fashion Director, L’Officiel India

What do you think of the spread?

More pictures from the shoot are inside. Don’t miss her in the same LV blue gown as worn by Kareena for her shoot at Chiswick House.

Elizabeth Hurley wore a beautiful blush ombre sari at the Breast Cancer Research Foundation’s Hottest Pink Party Ever 2008 and gotta say she definitely is one of the very few non-Indian women to wear a sari so gracefully!

Note how similar it is to the sari that Katrina wore to the race premiere, the same work and the same ombre effect except, I prefer Liz’s blush version over Kaif’s hot pink!

I must say, I was inspired to do this post after reading this rediff post. It got me intrigued after reading it, as to how many times Mrs Nayar been sporting the look.

I must say, after the first few times, the woman has mastered the art of carrying the pallu stylishly!
