Lakshmi on Elle India:(Un)Covered
While Vogue gave us five dusky beauties on the beach in bikinis, Elle gives us one wearing a Dior dress. Feast your eyes on Lakshmi who graces the magazine’s April edition. We’ve got so many good covers this month that it is going to be real hard to pick a favorite! (Yes, that means we’ll be doing a poll soon.)

Nice but I prefer spring colours on the cover in these months
what a stunning woman! love this cover! natural light, good composition, beautiful model, lovely dress, minimum photoshop = a stunning cover!
the poll is going to be a sitter! how delicious is lakshmi menon…
WOW!!!! I think this is one of the best covers Elle has done in a really long time…..lakshmi looks stunning…and I simply love the Dior dress……it looks so much better on lakshmi than on the runway model….
Love the cover, the woman, the dress and the attitude. Lakshmi always rocks!
she looks lovely…if wearing a Dior dress for free isnt enough…she is also allowed (and paid!) to sit on wet sand wearing it! models have the good life, i say…
Gals, I see Fashion’s hottest bloggers on the cover.. Hope your site is mentioned in there 🙂
That’s a gorgeous cover – so is the dress and the setting. Totally love it.
I love this cover – the mood of the cover and Lakshmi’s styling are very compatible with the idea of the “Romantic Movement” that seems to be the big theme of this issue. For me, it’s between this one and Sonam’s adorable Grazia cover.
am i the only one who thinks she isn’t lookin’ good?
OMG…love the cover….and the model..muddy feet and all…
She looks like a goddess. What kind of karma does one need to be born with that kind of skin ?
Wow…such a pleasure to watch these models instead of the actresses who don the cover of every second magazine nowadays….and look borrrring.this lady is lovely
Hmmm…interesting choice for a Spring time “romantic” cover. Nonetheless…Laxmi is stunning and I look forward to the day when Vogue….THE Vogue, Wintour’s Vogue features Laxmi on the cover.
Really? I would call the French Vogue THE Vogue. The American Vogue is one of the poorest out there, I think. I mean did you see their latest cover with Gisele? It is SO tacky what with the hoop earrings and the dated styling.
But yes, it would STILL be fabulous to see an Indian face on there. Either Lakshmi or Ujjwala Raut
Gisele’s cover pic is bad. Bur, the pics inside are better, I especially like the horse riding ones.
Lakshmi looks good. waiting to see if there are more pics to the shoot.
Well, maybe Dusk was referring to the fact that American Vogue is the original one, the one that started it all. I actually have some issues with French Vogue’s choices vis-a-vis its attitude toward racial diversity in its pages, but I do admire Carine Rotfield’s uncompromising vision. La Wintour of course is an icon, in that she reenergized American Vogue and often quite literally lays down the law when it comes to designers and trends, for better or for worse.
I’m not the biggest fan of the American Vogue either. My favorites are Vogue Italia and Vogue Paris.
What a stunning photo! Love the dress,the model, the setting, the colors…everything.
Lakshmi isn’t best looking model, though her skin is to die for!
check out the April 2010 filmfare. Its quite a collection of people.
supa dupa. loving it
DIOR, so of course I love 🙂 Laxsmi is amazing as always. I love her strong bone-structure and expression contrasted with the feminine dress and dancer-like pose. It causes interest.
love lakshmi!!! effortless sexy and yet comfortable in her own skin.
