Rani and her Tailor

The actress will wear Sabyasachi on her sleeve on the Cannes red carpet
The latest Indian celebrity to join this year’s Cannes march is an unlikely candidate — Rani Mukerji. The actress — alongside friends Karan Johar and Sabyasachi Mukherjee who is also styling the actress — will be walking the red carpet for Chivas on May 18. “Rani is delighted to walk the red carpet at Cannes for Chivas and is being styled by Sabyasachi,” said Rani’s spokesperson. 

Until 2006, Rani shared a warm association with Bollywood’s popular stylist Manish Malhotra. It was when her contemporaries, like Kajol, Preity Zinta and Kareena Kapoor, also started wearing Manish, she decided to break the monotony. Ever since, the actress has been wearing a lot of Sabyasachi garments both in films and otherwise.
The designer has had Rani walk the ramp as a showstopper on several occasions. Rani hasn’t yet seen the outfit the designer has picked out for her but she is likely to dress Indian.
