Glitz and glamour are synonymous with a glossy. And with more and more international fashion publications hitting Indian shores, the competition for a winning cover only got hotter. With that 2008 saw fashion/movie magazines indulge in lavish spreads involving delectable photography, imaginative styling and top-notch labels. And who else but Bollywood’s dazzling showgirls to play muse. Presenting some of the Sexiest Cover Girls of last year.
Amrita Rao, Verve
Don’t be fooled by her gullible gaonwali act in Welcome to Sajjanpur, the stunner is a sight of seduction in that smoking hot Salvatore Ferragamo gown.
Bipasha Basu, Filmfare
An understated blend of sensuous and dreamy, Bipasha’s intimate gaze and tender gestures make her this year’s most tempting cover girl.
Deepika Padukone, Elle
Everything looks smashing when Deepika adorns it. Ditto for this wild Manish Arora creation. Her mantra? Knock-out attitude to match that hot figure.
Katrina Kaif, Femina
Her angelic appeal is courtesy those doe eyes. And this cover, of one of Bollywood’s most beautiful women, accentuates just that.
Sonam Kapoor, Elle
Unlike her full-on traditional appearances on screen with films like Saawariya and Delhi 6, sassy Sonam takes a chic pill in this lemony green sizzler.
Kareena Kapoor, Vogue
2008 was all about denying all size zero talk for the hot ’n’ happening Bebo. That doesn’t stop her from flaunting that talked-about very figure in a vibrant Dolce & Gabbana dress. And man, does she do it justice?
Priyanka Chopra, Vogue
Fashion was the buzzword of Priyanka’s existence in 2008. So it’s only fair she’d bag half a dozen covers. The sexy star reminds us why exactly she is in Vogue in a sensational black Louis Vuitton creation.
Amisha Patel, Man’s World
None of her movies are worth raving about. But you simply cannot deny Amisha’s raging sex appeal on a magazine front.
Shilpa Shetty, Marie Claire
One look at Ms Shetty here and you’ll never ask, ’Who’s the Bigg Boss?’
Vidya Balan, FHM
It’s almost like Vidya Balan decided to have a sense of humour about her constantly criticised dressing sense. To her credit, those sheets do look good on her, don’t you think?
Preity Zinta, Filmfare
Looking good is second nature to PZ. And so it’s two thumbs up for the elegant star in this lovely ebony ’n’ ivory number by Gauri and Nainika.
Soha Ali Khan, Maxim
How to shatter girl-next-door image in one day? Do a Soha on Maxim!
Aishwarya Rai, Vogue
Saving the best for last, here’s the original cover girl in all her queenly glory. Seriously, the woman was born to be on top.
