#Oprah for ELLE India @elleindia

Oprah Winfrey graced the cover of ELLE India for their December issue .

The Fashion Director of the magazine, Malini Banerji, styled her in a Sabyasachi silk top and stole with an embellished border, accessorised with tear-drop earrings from Sabyasachi Jewellery. Captured by Mark Seliger, Editor-In-Chief, Supriya Dravid penned down and Fashion Editor Rahul Vijay contributed to the cover story.

 Here’s what he said:

Nothing prepares you for meeting Oprah in real life. On her maiden trip to India, Oprah attended the dinner hosted by the royal family in Jaipur and I had the good fortune to dress her in a saree for it. We spent some time discussing India and spirituality, as well as Indian art and handicraft. The opening of my store in Kala Ghoda came up in conversation and Oprah promised to sing by in the morning if she got time off from her busy schedule. I thought she was being polite! Imagine my gleeful surprise (and slight horror) when I realised I was sprawled on the floor like an exhaused starfish after completing the setup of the store, just as Oprah came breezing in, exactly at 10 AM. She was as magnanimous about it as I was mortified.
Oprah isn’t just one of the world’s most influencial personalities. She is larger than life. But also as real as it gets! So, if she says she is coming home for pizza, you better take her word for it and keep that dinner table laid out well in time for her arrival

“If you look at where I was born, where I was raised in rural Mississippi at a time when it was an apartheid state - the chances of me being who I am, where I am...nobody would have believed it was possible. So yes, the lesson is amazing grace does exist.” #Oprah for ELLE India @elleindia .
