Trendsetters are always the first. Ain’t it? 😉
The cover is awesome!! Very artistic. It seems minimalistic even though its not. Beautiful. The designers have done a good job.
She looks very ethereal.
The other two photos are just ok. I would have loved the close-up but face looks white-washed compared to the shoulders, as if she needed to look whiter. Somebody forgot to colour correct.
@ dn- u tole my words..i was bout 2 say d same..
😛
I meant the cover designers – stylist, make-up and photographer.
thats exactly what i was thinking. ITs beutiful and ash looks gorgeous !
But WHY did they WHITEWASH her way too much ?
Oh, and she does look breathtaking! Blooming with age!
OMG she is BEYOND perfection!!!
How many light years did God take to make Aishwarya Rai?
Agreed and that was a good question. 😀
Only a little more than the number of Photoshop artists it took to do this issue!
better photoshop than botox, i say.
Photoshop or not, this womans beauty is unbelievable and I am saying this being a woman! I could only imagine how a man would feel around her!
agree like hell!!
Agreed, naiad. I always wondered how all those actors/others felt around her in the movies, she being this gorgeous/beautiful.
BANG ON! LOL
WOW!!! I mean wow!!!…flawless is one word
But I am sure ash-basers will find some flaw abt this too 😉
now thats funny. i wud say PHOTO SHOPPED :p lolxx
I agree completely with Bollyfan on PHOTO SHOPPED
She looks AMAZING! The clothes make her look skinny and funnily it doesn’t seem like she has been photoshopped…? The clothes are suited for the editorial…add nice drama yet her beauty shines through 🙂
Looooveeed…ASH in both the outfits……much much better than her usual boring looks……..want to see the pic in sabyasachi too
The Sabyasachi was for HiBlitz which you can catch in the link highlighted in red in the text.
DAMN!
Nohting new or exciting about the photoshoot or clothes..but look at that FACE. DAMN!
Faces like that come about once in a generation.
LOVE IT! She looks like the icon that she is, stunning and powerful. Furthermore, as someone pointed out, the photography makes her look slim and statuesque without everything looking photoshopped.
She looks a lot like Marion Cotillard.
One of her best, I think. She has both presence and poise in this shoot. Beautiful, though I’m not a huge fan 🙂
AMAZING
Love the cover
she looks gorgeous and the dress has just the right amount of drama
everyone knows she is far from that icon in her real life…that photo doesnt even look half of real ash meaning her real self specially her complexion
finally she looks great. I’d lost all hope for her but she can still rock it!
stunning!!!look at her hands in the pictures, soo graceful and perfectly placed. she never looks awkward in any of her shoots
Absolutely gorg!
But on the cover she looks like the Ash from modelling times… when she looked more exotic and fresh.
She doesn’t look like that anymore, i wonder how they achieved to make her look like old times.
I almost thought this was some old cover shoot 🙂
Flawless skin, gorgeous bone structure, and radiant face all hers but wait, oh how I wish I had Photoshop!
I compared these shots to the Sabya ones by clicking on the link provided and its clear that the photographer did a great job!
The lightings/angles shaved atleast 10 years and 10 lbs off her face & body….
totally agree.
@lolita…you stole my words,great photography….how come she apperas so different in both shots…she is almost unrecognizable in these pictures and in sabya shots she does look like her present self!!
@ummema
you mustbe really blind not to recognize her. every actress is photoshopped on covers but most dont even look half decent.
you have to really hate her to say she is only beautiful coz of photography.
The worst part is the only photoshopping she needs is a darker hair color!
She’s so gorgeous in real life, I’m sure she would’ve looked great anyway!
@lolita
there is reason she won best photogenic face in miss world :). That girl can do miracles with camera and that has always been her usp.
Ethereal indeed!! Love the cover and the Ayesha Depala dress.
Breathtaking. For those who have commented on photoshop used here, every picture nowadays is photoshopped.
However not everyone looks like this even after all the technology used.You cannot make someone look so beautiful using technology. There has to be stuff there to enhance.
so true GG …completely agree with u on dis…
agreed! even a blind person can spot the agressive photoshop jobs on most covers but this one looks nothing like them. she looks radiant and ethereal!
Love the old Hollywood feel of this look. Ash looks breathtaking! There are beautiful women, but there are only a few beautiful women with that special something. People may kvetch, but truth is she cannot be ignored.
WOW that’s the best i’ve ever seen her and I’m not an Ash Fan! Stunning and a great job with the photos!
It’s all photoshop. She doesn’t look anything like this in real life.
so? Who cares what she looks in real life ? She is a model and an actress, as long as she looks good in photoshoots and in movies she is set.
She looks etheral here – kudos to the stylist.
get the hell over it. with or without photoshop, she still looks better than you and me.
It feels like major uninformed carping when says “It’s all photoshop”. Give the model, the photographer and the stylists some credit. People have been looking better, or at least different, than they do in real life for years before photoshop came along (They used to film the lovely Ingrid Bergman through gauze). If Ash weren’t a beautiful woman and a good model, these photos would not look like they do, airbrushing or not.
not just you or me she is the best looking bollywood actress in Bollywood history second only to Madhubala. many may not agree on that today but in hindsight her name will surely go down in bollywood history as the most beautiful.
Agree with every word mary. but iam sure your statement is going to ash haters loose their sleeps. hahaha. I love to meet Ash haters. They seem to be living there lives around her and some of my good friends who cannot stand her have sleepless nights after there is one nice word spoken for her. Love it!
@ indus.. U wish 😛 … Comeon, just because someone doesnt think like you (about her) doesnt mean their lives revolve around her.
Very photoshopped but I guess all the celebs are getting it done these days so why wouldn’t she? Her face looks flawless, shes looking good!
Wow, i have nothing to fault in the cover. gorgeous. kudos to the photographer and stylist.
Only one word, STUNNING!
The photographs are photoshopped, but the end result is good. We have had plenty of covers ruined by too much photoshop. There is no doubt that she is beautiful. I like the pose on the cover and LOVE the hair.
Nice photoshopping.
@GG…i guess you really dont know how much photoshoping can change…once you’ll find out you will stop believing in what is shown in magazines!!photoshoping is not just enhancing, nowadays its used more for “changing”.
gosh!!!!i know that every picture is photoshopped nowdays, but it shouldn’t be that deceiving.
though she looks beautiful but with that much photoshoping and designer cloths i can look gorgeous as well;)
Not very often this happens but she does look AMAZING. I would given 60% credit to photographer and stylists. Anyhow.. other actresses… eat your heart out
There’s photo shop written all over that cover!! Take a good look at her arms! I would have believed if it had been a few years ago, but there’s no way she looks like this now!! I mean, c’mon!!!
She looks gorgeous. I absolutely love the styling, but P&P, the last picture is of an black tulle Ayesha Depala.
LOVE it! very elle esque without goin all chanel, LV or western gowns on the cover. Now if they’d only go easy on the whitewash/photoshop n make it our own/indian elle
I adore her charm and elegance on the cover. What a beauty, seriously! The other two pics are good too. Wish we could see the full length on the 3rd pic.
I am not an Ash as an actress fan…but you can’t ignore the beauty. Ah yes, she has been most definitelyphotoshopped, look at the full length pic, her shoulders, arms, waist are not that narrow. But hey this is a minor issue…she looks fab.
She is a good model. The photoshop and makeup make her look 10 years younger. All in all the cover page looks good.
A picture speaks a thousand words, but with photoshop, it tells a thousand……. LIES!
damn that was good. lol made me smile
What lies are you talking about? please enlighten us.
Is there a new rule that a magazine cover has to show a stars true face sans makeup and photoshop ? or does that apply only to Aishwarya ?
@Ria
For some reason she gets the most Hate for her covers when actually everyone who appears in print is photoshopped to the max. How do you explain Kajol’s extreme whiteness and sharper features in Olay print aids.Seems this rule you mentioned is applied only to Aishwarya.;)
now matter how far these pics are photoshoped , the fact is aish is truley beautifull. she is looking amazing. the pics are no doubt gud and the colour scheme of white dress on white background is making her look slim as well , but aish deserves credit too..
photoshop or not she looks gorgeous !!
Why do Photoshop comments pop up when there is a photoshoot starring Ash?
Its not like she is unrecognizable? her facial features look the same.. its not like they changed her nose or her lips or her eyes?? every magazine covers and photoshoots are airbrushed and lighting etc corrected… complexion evened out..
also its not like she is butt ugly otherwise….
agreed!! she looks beautiful in real life… yea bt the photoshop has this her arms thats what i notice bt other than that i think its ok, everyone uses photoshop these days so who cares… i hav seen much photoshopped covers than this, even with eyes, nose and lips so even tho im not ash fan i still agree on every word with u
Love the Ayesha Depala black dress,stunning!
i don’t know why people can’t understand that every magazine cover of any actress is photoshoped.look at sonam’s latest verve cover. its photoshoped to hell.aishwarya got beautiful feautres like big green eyes,fuller lips,small nose which makes her so beautiful
I love!
God! Did a skip a heart beat???
Her beauty is RARE, maybe even extinct otherwise…
She looks gorgeous and the clothes are equally beautiful.
this is how aishwarya was meant to look…absolutely classy and stunning….she does waste her looks most of the time, but not here!
@rhea & mary…no doubt that every picture in every magazines is photoshoped nowadays but these actress/models never claim to be the most beautiful women in india/world….if aishwarya needs photoshoping so whats ethereal and beautiful about her and why her fans claim this about her!!!!
HA get over it!
She looks Unreal! Beautiful! Love the Ayesha Depala gown. Love.
First, you have to have the base(beautiful features).Photoshop or airbrush just to enchance her already beautiful self.Aishwarya Rai is just out of this World.
SPLENDID!!!! hats off to all the stylists, designers, make-up artists! these guys r fabulous!
