Haute babe
A peep into Mallika Sherawat's wardrobe for Cannes

She is the undisputed sex bomb of today. Her claim to fame is dropping clothes and more clothes. Her fans see in her the ultimate sex diva. To her credit is the fact that she is not apologetic and is proud to flaunt her body.

Mallika Sherawat & Anita Dongre Mallika Sherawat Anita Dongre Mallika Sherawat who started her career as a small time model is today the toast of glamour world. Sherawat is currently on a roll. Her film with Jackie Chan titled The Myth  is premiering at the Cannes Film festival this year.

In fact India is well represented at the Cannes film festival this year, what with Nandita Das on the jury, Aishwarya Rai also making an appearance and Urmila Matondkar will be present in spirit as her film Naina  will be screened at the festival.

All of us recall the brouhaha over Ash's clothes last year. What everybody wants to know is what Sherawat will be wearing for her big moment this year.

We spoke to Fashion Designer Anita Dongre who has been designing much of the hot babe's wardrobe for the past one year and who will also be responsible for her look at the special event.

"I have made six outfits for Mallika as she will be required to make at least 5 public appearances. There will be a red carpet for the movie, 3 press conferences and a party thrown by Jackie Chan.
I enjoy working for her as she knows exactly what she wants. The most important thing was that she wanted the outfits to be made in only traditional Indian fabrics. I agreed as she is representing India and this was the perfect thing to be seen in.
Earlier when she went to China she wore Indian textiles on both the occasions and I noticed that people went crazy about the fabrics. So this time I have done one outfit for her in red brocade, one in tanchoi  and one with chicken work."

Jewellery designed by Orra
Anita does not want to divulge much about the styles and silhouettes but she is quick to add that Mallika will not be wearing any gowns. " I have given her a very classy look. No cheap stuff for her. What I have done this time is that I have tied up with Orra(international jewellery manufacturers)Jewellery designed by Orra who will be giving her their classy baubles to wear for the occasion. This is very important as jewellery plays a very important role in an Indian woman's life. Jewellery, bags, shoes is the sum total of a look. Even a mundane outfit will look extraordinary when worn with the right accessories. The total cost of the jewellery designed by Orra is about Rs 4 crore! I first chose the jewellery(studded with rubies, pearls, emeralds) and then designed the outfits," says Anita.

"I have not used much embroidery for any of theJewellery designed by Orra outfits as she is wearing so much jewellery. I believe in less is more. What I have kept in mind is to make her look elegant. I feel so great that Indian fashion is now getting recognized internationally. What she has been wearing has been written about extensively in Chinese papers and this makes me a proud designer as I feel greatly responsible.

Now all I want is for her to go out there and be seen with confidence, panache and style."
