Hollywood actress Tan Sri Michelle Yeoh, world-renowned Malaysian fashion designer Datuk Jimmy Choo and British supermodel Georgia May Jagger today added glitz and glamour to the launch of British Airways' flights to Malaysia with a Cinderella-inspired photoshoot in Kuala Lumpur.

With the iconic Petronas Twin Towers serving as a stunning backdrop, Tan Sri Yeoh and Jagger dazzled while seated in British Airways' Club World business cabin seats as Datuk Choo slipped on a glass shoe specially designed for the occasion.

Jagger wore a TEMPERLEY LONDON 'Long Sand Goddess Dress' in Almond while Tan Sri Yeoh looked stunning in her own evening gown as they posed for the photograph. Datuk Jimmy Choo was in a suit by Lord's Tailor.

British Airways' inaugural flight to Malaysia arrives at Kuala Lumpur International Airport at 2:35pm local time on May 28, 2015. The non-stop route is served by the long-range Boeing 777-200ER aircraft offering customers a choice of four cabins – First and Club World business cabin featuring award-winning flat beds, World Traveller Plus premium economy and World Traveller economy cabin.

Datuk Jimmy Choo said: “Being a proud Malaysian, it has been such a pleasure to support British Airways as they begin services to Kuala Lumpur. Malaysia has so much to offer those looking for new business and investment opportunities, or a memorable holiday destination for a few weeks. Beyond the action and nightlife of Kuala Lumpur, my hometown of Georgetown in Penang, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a marvellous place and one that I highly recommend that tourists visit.”

Tan Sri Michelle Yeoh said: “Malaysia is the place I call home so I think it's tremendous British Airways have launched a new route linking London and Kuala Lumpur. There's so much to see and do here, be it visiting the historic monuments dotted around the city, tasting the mouth-watering delicacies served at our famous street food markets or wandering one of the many art galleries. I was born to the north in the city of Ipoh and it's just one of the many inspiring places visitors can explore within easy reach during their stay.”

Georgia May Jagger said: “I've really enjoyed my time in Malaysia. The people are so welcoming and the food is amazing. I've been trying the local speciality dishes. It has also been an incredible experience working with Datuk Jimmy Choo on this one-of-a-kind photoshoot for British Airways. Being made to feel like Cinderella was a truly magical moment – after all, British Airways knows how to treat its customers.”
