Liz to wear sari for wedding with Arun

July 20, 2003 16:29 IST

British actress and supermodel Liz Hurley will wear a red Versace-designed sari for her wedding with Indian millionaire Arun Nayar in Mumbai in February.

After the wedding in Mumbai, she will head home to do it all over again.

The 36-year-old star wants her friend Donatella Versace to create the sari as well as a white dress for her February nuptials, according to The Mail on Sunday.

A friend close to the actress said: "Arun made it clear that Liz would have to marry him in Mumbai to keep his family happy before any marriage in England. Liz loved India when she went out there. She said her Indian wedding dress is going to be something very unusual."

The former Estee Lauder model shot to fame in 1994 when she attended a movie premiere in a black Versace creation pulled together by safety pins. The frock was quickly dubbed 'that dress' and cemented Liz's status as a style icon.

But the actress has asked for more conservative designs for her wedding.

Arun's Italian wife Valentina Pedroni is said to have agreed to a divorce settlement.
