Wide of press STORYLINE INDIAN BARBIE Bollywood actor Katrina Kaif walked the ramp dressed as every girl\'s favourite doll - Barbie at the Lakme Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2009 in Mumbai on Friday (27 MAR 2009).  The opening show at the event - \"Barbie All Doll\'d Up\" - celebrated 50 years of Barbie along with a decade of the Lakme Fashion Week. It was a perfect combination of style and glamour as top designers showed how they would dress up Barbie. But it was Nishka Lulla\'s winning dress that Katrina modelled as the show stopper. Dress the Barbie contest attracted 75 entries from top designers in the country from which the 20 short-listed creations were showcased at the dazzling show.  Katrina Kaif will be the Indian celebrity on whose likeness a Barbie doll will be created by Mattel Toys India Pvt. Ltd.  Earlier, there had been reports that former Miss World and Bollywood actor Aishwarya Rai Bachchan would be the new Barbie face.   The venue was dressed in hundreds of metres of the characteristic Barbie pink silk with the famed Barbie logo all around making it look like Barbie\'s pretty house.  Pretty party dresses and gowns floated down the ramp making Barbie\'s wardrobe the most envied in the world.  Finally, Katrina Kaif walked the ramp in Nishka Lulla\'s award-winning number, a red-shaded tiered mini with a brocade bodice clasped with a giant gold bow at the back. Nishka Lulla is the daughter of celebrated Bollywood designer Neeta Lulla.
