While hubby superstar Shah Rukh Khan is breaking box office records, wife Gauri Khan is too breaking new ground.

Stepping into the domain of the super models, Gauri features as the cover girl of Vogue's next Indian edition.

According to a report on the website, the pictures were shot against the background of Mannat, the Khan family mansion.

Priya Tanna, editor Vogue India, describes Gauri as "as a 'true Voguette', who offers delightful peeks into her life, her wardrobe and her man," said the report.

"It is her first solo cover and a coup of sorts for Vogue. That she is stylish, enigmatic and poised is known, but at the shoot we saw another side of her, that of a cover girl. Even in the frames she shares with Shah Rukh, she holds her own impressively," Tanna said.

Gauri is quoted as saying she "hates tight and revealing clothes", but that does not stop her from appearing on the cover in a red strapless low-cut dress, which ends about a foot above her knees.

The edition hits the news stands Dec 20.
