Milan - The ex-wife of French
President Nicolas Sarkozy will marry later this month in New
York, the Italian fashion house Versace said on Wednesday,
adding Cecilia will be wearing one of its dresses.
Versace's brief statement confirmed rumours she would get
married soon to Richard Attias, after Sarkozy wed Italian model
Carla Bruni on February 2 in a private ceremony at the Elysee Palace
in Paris.
Cecilia first left Sarkozy for Attias, who works as an
organiser of special events, in 2005.
"I met someone, I fell in love, I left," she told a French
regional newspaper last year.
She returned to Sarkozy in January 2006 but played no part
in his presidential campaign in early 2007 and on October 18 2007,
their separation was officially announced.
In January this year, Moroccan-born Attias denied a report
in French daily Le Parisien that the two were set to marry.
Now, the couple "have chosen to wear Versace for the happy
occasion of their wedding, which will take place in New York
later this month," the statement from Versace said.
The design house, headed by platinum blonde Donatella
Versace, is a favourite with Hollywood stars for red carpet
gowns and has moved away from its up-front and glitzy style to a
more elegant, restrained approach.
Model and actress Elizabeth Hurley chose Versace for her
dress when she married Indian businessman Arun Nayar a year ago.
