Deepika Padukone On Vogue India:(Un)Covered

Comment image 27


Deepika graces the cover of the July 2009 edition of Vogue India in a Spring 2009 Dolce and Gabbana floral gown. If this gown looks familiar to you, it is because a dress version has already been seen on Diana Penty on the L’Officiel India March 2009 cover (see here).

Now that there are two covers with Deepika on em, got a favorite?

P.S. Isn’t it a bit disappointing to see a leading fashion magazine use a design already seen before.

  1. dont like either, her expressions are the same, and they dont grab eyeball, have only liked the kareena cover. the latest one is really really bad photography. they have made a really pretty girl look very unattractive

  2. I wish Vogue would have more interesting covers – this is so blah! I want the actresses to be more lively, maybe smile, laugh, look like they are real people and not mannequins? Deepika looks the same in every shot..as do most actresses. They are boring. They bore me. Fashion is supposed to be fun and exciting. This is all just too boring.m

  3. Drew Barrymore was in the same dress for the Elle cover (May issue I think) and she looked ethereal, that it was an underwater shoot certainly helped, the whole spread was absolutely divine. But coming back to the cover on hand. One word: FLAT!

  4. i agree with fashionista and Pri. Both the covers dont not do justice to the either fashion or the message that a cover should exude. deepika looks extremely boring and as if she’s posing for the sake of it. and the picture at the bottom calls for tired eye treatment/lift. its a pity that pretty women are potrayed like this,

  5. I have to say this too; For a ‘supermodel’ she sure has limited expressions!

    Oh and ofcourse it’s dissapointing!!But I did say earliar too…Vogue India is nothing more than a manufactured scheme to spin money in an economically growing India..and I’m sure that the global team of Vogue knew too that anything which is as coveted in the west as Vogue – the brand, is surely going to be lapped up in urban India where the majority are (I think there’s no better way to describe it) like lost puppies as the whole high-fashion, urbanisation is very fresh and raw..

  6. Vogue India is BORING…till today not a single cover has impressed me. In the latest cover, Deepika’s shoulders and the huge dress takes over and her face is in the background. She does look like a mean b**** and not fierce if that was the intention. I like the older one in comparison.

  7. When I saw boring Deepika wearing that dress, I really had second thoughts about buying this issue- considering I’m a broke student nearing month’s end with just 120 rupees. But I still bought it and I regret it! I agree with everyone’s comments here… Vogue India isn’t provocative enough.

  8. I have to agree vogue India is very blah.too much Bollywood and bad makeup. very predictable. The covers are almost like filmfare.Its nowere near British Vogue. Harpers India is a little better.

  9. What totally bleh covers! Deepika Padukone somehow always manages to look boring and stiff, as though she’d let somethin slip if she relaxes a bit. Fares no better in photoshoots either. Which is a shame cuz she’s such a pretty face.

  10. the old july vogue, is awful! and the new one is better bit still not good, then you see the Diana cover and both deepika’s look terrible, Diana’s looks good.

    Again I am forced to wonder how this woman can have suCh bland pictures and once been a SUPERMODEL!! how how how??!!! she should excel in her pictures as its what she did before.
    I’M SOOO CONFUSED!!!!

  11. boring.
    of all the three i think the l’officiel cover was the best. i didn’t care much about the drew barrymore one

    A fashion magazine has to, has to be ‘edgy’ …. vogue india is never that.. ever ….
    – firstly, it needs to get over its bollywood fixation. but i’m sure there is a marketing manager somewhere quoting statistics about how A movie cover sells more
    -it needs to let go of its photoshop fixation
    -it needs to fire its creative head or whoever is responsible for cover designs. vogue covers are awful without exception. its been a year and a half. high time they get their act together

  12. Self imposed dark circles?!! Wow!
    And Diana’s cover does look so much better. Maybe its the lighting too. Deepika looks exhausted…
    She looked so much better during her modelling days.

  13. She does look kinda tired in the pic, but it also can be her make up, I don’t like it:/
    I dunno, the dress looked better on the other girl and the reason for that is the weird pose on this cover, they were going for classy ice princess but it just fails in execution. Also, her bracelet does not go with the dress.
    So overall, thumbs down-because of the pose, bad eye makeup, and expression, Deepika can be gorgeous with the right stylist but Vogue India somehow falls short:(

  14. I don’t like both of them… I have no idea why Vogue India goes for rather overdone makeup in most of its covers. I mean the one with Pinto, Bips and now this. The gown seems funny to me in the 1st pic… like a big bubble and maybe its the way in which the pic has been taken. The 2nd cover could have been better perhaps… but the makeup and the styling fails each time.

  15. why would vogue india use such an over xposed dress for their seasons most romantic dresses, when th season is on sale right now in milan.

  16. i love both the covers, great lighting in the earlier D&G cover Deepika looks so feminine & mysterious. the other Vogue cover- Dee’s first, is so subtly gorgeous. she pours lusciousness in it. and her doe like gaze holds you as if saying, ‘you like me right..?’ wonder why everyone here finds the covers not creative, they are simple, effective and dreamy… yeahhh!
