1. Sarah Jane Dias for Prevention
For the womens health magazine Prevention, actress Sarah Jane Dias is seen sporting a teal bodycon dress on the front cover. Whilst she poses with all smiles for the magazine photoshoot, little else can be said about the overall picture. She is inevitably a graceful choice for Prevention as she has the perfect slim snd healthy figure to connotate with the magazines overall message. However, I wish she gave abit more zest and life to her pose!

2. Prachi Desai for FHM India
Prachi Desai dressed in a bralet and polka dot fitted skirt is really not looking her best! This has to be one of FHM India's most undesirable of front covers and I really do think Prachi does not do justice to what the magazine stands for! Portraying Prachi in a sexy avatar does not come across quite as 'hot' as one would have imagined and the outfit she is wearing does not suit her. If there's one thing that I like it's her hair, but is it the right hairstyle that makes you think that's sexy or on the other hand sophisticated?!

3. Konkana Sen Sharma for Maxim India
Now this front cover came to me as abit of a surprise if I'm honest, but it's great to see Konkana stepping out of the traditional avatar and revealing her sexy self! Maxim India chose the very talented and classy Konkana to step up for their 'oh so hot' front cover. It's true we have never seen her like this before and I do think she has done some justice to pulling off the sexy-look. As a close up shot, Maxim India have chosen to focus more so on Konkana's sensuality through her appearance as opposed to what she is wearing. I love the natural makeup look and think her eyes speak volumes!

4. Madhuri Dixit for AndPersand India
The timeless beauty of Bollywood- Madhuri Dixit is back this August to grace the front cover of AndPersand India. Whilst she never fails to bedazzle the camera and gives the perfect 10/10 smile everytime, I do wish there was more to appreciate with this magazine cover. Everything from her hair and makeup looks flawless and nothing looks overdone. However, maybe a little more attention to the outfit or a nice pair of earrings would have lifted her look up just that tad bit more!

5. Ayushmann Khuranna
It's black and white fever at this month The Man and what a unique front cover it is! The yellow highlighted writing really pulls ones attention to what this front cover reads and works well against the black and white imagery. But of course, what stands out most is the the man with the pose- Ayushmann Khuranna. Looking ever so suave and dapper in his suit & tie, Ayushmann has definitely nailed this months magazine cover look! His got out for attention with the eye to eye contact and I think everything else simply spells out luxury!

6. Akshay Kumar and Sonakshi Sinha for Cineblitz
If there's one film many of us are waiting to catch this month in theatres then it's the Akshay Kumar and Sonakshi Sinha starrer- Once Upon a Time in Mumbaii Dobara! To get our anticipation brewing even further, the two megastars are seen paired together for the front cover of Cineblitz magazine. We all know they share a fantastic onscreen chemistry and nothing less fails here too. Akshay in his sleek pair of shades and Sonakshi in her embellished dress are both looking as filmi as ever, and are indeed living up the expectations of the film.

7. Sonakshi Sinha for Verve India
Orange is the most hottest and coolest colour of the month and Verve India are leaving no tables unturned when showing off Sonakshi in this zestful vivacious colour! I absolutely love this close up look of Sonakshi and because of the zesty use of colour highlighted through her makeup- I think it suits her complexion really well. Whilst Sonakshi's films are very much a talk of the town right now, her front cover pose for Verve is speaking volumes too. It's sensual, so divine and oh so colourful!

8. Deepika Padukone for Elle India
This is an entirely subjective opinion of course, but Deepika Padukone has to be one of the most beautiful women in B-Town today, and yet again as always she pulls off a classic front cover pose. It's true to say that nothing is incredibly different with the way in which she is posing, and perhaps she could have done something more?! But either way, her gorgeous face and superstar status enables Deepika to work off any pose and still create a great buzz! Also I love the Loius Vuitton dress, it's super chic!

9. Sridevi for Vogue India
We all know this lady keeps looking better with age and that's exactly why she can pull off the colour pink at any point of time! Another fabulous colour to adorn yourself in this season are coral, light and hot pinks! Dressed in a beautifully designed peplum dress the damsel is for sure looking like a true diva! Her immaculate makeup, delicate jewellery and luscious locks all work to bring out the vogue factor in Sridevi. Oh, and did I forget to mention she is going to be 50 this month!!!

10. Alia Bhatt for Marie Claire India
One thing I love about Alia Bhatt is the fact she always gives the most versatile of poses for every single front cover she has been a part of thus far! Dressed in a dainty flowing Just Cavalli dress the young star will be making everyone's heads turn towards her with this front cover for sure! I love her attitude and her free-spirited pose and think keeping her makeup and hair minimalistic connotates well with the overall look.

11. Sonam Kapoor for GQ India
Miss Fashionista or also known as Sonam Kapoor has indeed got the temperatures soaring this month with her latest front cover look for the sizzling edition of GQ India! As Sonam has not been seen donning the uber sexy look before, her front cover shoot this month came as a pleasant surprise. This is one young actress who has definitely grown more and more comfortable with her skin and has no qualms about showing it either! Wearing a Atsuko Kudo designed latex bra with a Burberry designed skirt, Sonam has undoubtedly nailed the sizzling look and strikes the perfect sensual pose that was much needed for this men's magazine!

12. Deepika Padukone for Femina India
Deepika Padukone is back gracing the front cover of another high-fly magazine known as Femina India. Whilst I stated her photoshoot for the front cover of Elle India was not strikingly different, Deepika has nailed the strikingly different look for this months Femina India. Celebrating 100 years of cinema, Deepika has sported two different looks that reflect the transformations in women's appearances. With reflection on the traditional look, inspired by Meena Kumari and Madhuri Bala to a contemporary westernised appeal bought forward by Helen and Parveen Babi, Femina India were keen to showcase this through their front cover. I think Deepika was the perfect choice as she works the traditional and contemporary look just as well! Whilst the gold rustic colours and lighting reflect the richness of the last 100 years! Love it!

13. Shah Rukh Khan for FilmFare India
There can, however, only be one superstar that truly deserves the 10/10 rating! Shah Rukh Khan is back this August for FilmFare in a water based photoshoot, in which he is looking just as charming and dapper as he always does! King Khan, who shot this front cover in his home swimming pool leaves little to ones imagination! FilmFare have gone for a look with Shah Rukh that plays with the ideas of physical sensuality, masculinity and charisma. Shah Rukh proves you don't have to wear a designer outfit to look good, but can look even better in the comfort of your skin or when you go for a swim! I love the deep blue reflection mirroring through the pool and the one on one eye contact is what makes you want to pick up this edition of FilmFare!
