It was not long ago that Bollywood beauty Katrina Kaif was called the ‘sexiest lady in the world’ by a leading magazine. If that wasn’t all, the stunner has added another feather to her cap- featuring on the cover page of world’s costliest lifestyle magazine, ‘Kohl’.

Katrina Kaif has featured on the cover of Damas-designed ‘Kohl’, which is covered with 91 grams of gold and encrusted with 622 diamonds. This special edition front cover is reportedly valued at more than USD 10,000 and will be auctioned for charity. The specially commissioned Kohl cover will be displayed at various Damas stores throughout the Gulf Cooperation Council until October 2008, when it will be auctioned at a gala charity event.

The magazine stills, that have been shot by famous celebrity photographer Avinash Gowariker, will see Katrina dressed in a sleek black sleeveless dress.

With her latest achievement, the stunning beauty has overtaken all the other heroines and can be content with the fact that now she is indeed the most recognized and preferred face among the leading ladies to add glamour and style when it comes to products and publications.

Preity Zinta will be conferred with the Smita Patil Memorial Award 2008 for her ‘outstanding’ contribution to the Hindi film industry.

‘Priety’s name has been announced for the award,’ sources close to the actor told IANS here Tuesday.
