Priyanka's foot stamp at Ferragamo museum!


Priyanka Chopra became the first Indian actress to cast her foot impression at the famous Salvatore Ferragamo museum in Florence, Italy.

The star also gets her own custom-designed shoes from the Ferragamo house.

"I can't wait for a proper red carpet debut of a custom-designed shoe from Ferragamo. It's every girl's dream come true," Priyanka said.

"Although I was consulted during the design process, it was another feeling altogether when I saw the shoes for the first time," she added.

With this honour, Priyanka joins Hollywood celebrities such as Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, Sophia Loren, Madonna and Drew Barrymore.

Although Priyanka is the first Bollywood stunner to grace the Ferragamo museum, she happens to be the second Indian celebrity after the Maharani of Cooch Behar, Indira Devi, received the same honour in 1938. The Maharani's customised pair was reported to be a jewelled sandal.

A few months ago, Priyanka was invited to Italy to cast her foot impression at the museum. Leonardo Ferragamo, director of the Ferragamo Museum, took her on a tour of the place.

Then, Priyanka was shown several sandal designs and she chose a glamorous evening pair of sandals with rhinestone crusted 13-cm heel and platform.

"It's much more than I expected. Being custom-made, the sandals will be the only pair of their kind in the entire world," Priyanka said. Her sandals resemble the ones made for Madonna and Marilyn Monroe. On her trip to the museum, Priyanka said: "I was totally floored by the extensive tour." At the museum, Priyanka reportedly saw shoes that were created as far back as 80 years. It's believed that iconic designer Salvatore's son, Leonardo, who manages the family business now, hosted a special dinner for Priyanka at his house.

Priyanka is making news over her reported intimacy with Hollywood star Gerard Butler. The actor reportedly visited her on the sets of Anjaana Anjaani. It's believed that Gerard spent a full day with her and took an active interest in Priyanka's scenes.

Also, reports are rife that Priyanka has been seen dining with pop singer Jay Sean in New York.

The buzz goes that Jay and Priyanka have been spotted at various top restaurants and bars in New York of late. It's a known fact that Sean is keen to have her in a video for his new album, All Or Nothing.
