Malaika on Harper’s Bazaar:(Un)Covered
We’ve already seen the all-black Vogue editorial featuring Katrina. Here is the all-white editorial of Malaika from Harper’s.

You may think it odd that we see this crochet Pucci so quickly after Leann Rimes (see Here) wore the see-through number bravely in real life, but technically Malaika wore it first because photoshoots happen months in advance.
Malaika wears it as part of an all-white feature for this month’s Harper’s Bazaar that was shot in Jordan at the Petra caves.
If anyone could rock this Pucci as well as Leann did (not that we like it anyways), it would be Malaika except not really digging the hair.

I think it would have looked better if she was standing. But I also have a strange feeling this particular dress may not have fitted her too well.
But so nice to see Malaika on a cover. She totally deserves to be a cover girl.
the only way she is rocking it is by sitting on those rocks. she looks distinctly uncomfortable.
i agree… she does look uncomfortable ! and i dont like seeing cleavage… esp when it forms a distinct line..
personally the dress wld have looked better on someone a tad bit flatter…
Love the mermaid hair…not digging the expression though!! What is it…a smile…a grimace…somewhere in between?
hehe. exactly my thoughts. what was the photographer and editors thinking choosing this pic for the cover?
why does she look so confused and uncomfortable ?!
She looks like a mermaid, non? To me the dress would look a lot better on someone younger.. it has a virginal feel to it. Whereas Malika is anything but..is she squeezing her boobs there for better cleavage? All in all have to say they could have done better.
I’m not feeling the look at all…as it is the gown is tacktastic
she does look very hot and sexy. seems like something for a men’s magazine.
The hair is nice-ish but not loving the pose – especially the hands, she looks really uncomfortable.
and the dress would have worked better on someone younger and taller, taking a more bohemian/ breezy countryside stance
You know what does’nt work for her?Surprisingly… notice through all her pictures…she tries too hard to look sexy…you know she is not effortless.The pose..the smile..the clothes everything is made up.Here too….!!!!
Love her hair here… And whatta difference it is making to her face! 🙂 Am tired of her straight hair all the time!
Love the dress on her but the hair is horrible..too big for the dress. Love her braclets..can I have them???
it looks like she wants to pee but the photographer said pls.. one last shot..try n smile thru it!! n hence the pose!!
She is such a Vision can gv life to ny dress by puttn it on her back but here i feel she is not at her best, Stylist kindly tk a note u need a lot of homework.
Love to see her but would love to see her they way i saw her on the covers of Elle totally rokn like a true diva
Yes, her pose looks so odd.Also her hair does not do justice to dress she is wearing.
Love the location, dress but not her hair, she could have kept it straight or a neat pony tail!
pretty monotonic photoshoot as far as teh shots are concerned but malaika does put some life into it…not badd.
ooooh…looove the rest of the spread!! She’s forgiven for that cover 😀
for a change she looks fab and not vulgar!
Why do the pictures look like they photoshopped Malaika into the Canyons? Doesn’t look like she was actually shooting there..
exactly my thoughts. The cover is OK.
she is not a natural.. all the way made up!!!!!!!!!!!
oh my god. what a lady.
Nice legs :::))))
Same hand-touching-forehead pose in 4 out of 8 shots! I agree with someone above who’s said she isn’t effortlessly sexy, even though she has all the potential to be so!
First picture is divine though she manages to put a relief mood without taking much support on that rock.I feel all pictures are nice but any other model would have made the result same, as she is potrayed as a figure here.
hey P&P, you guys know about the shout-out for HHC from Kalyani Chawla? 🙂
Yes! 🙂 So excited! Love seeing the blog mentioned in print!
Can you tell us more about it please???
STUNNING
every single one of those pictures
though the cover is the least of all unfortunately
Actually, she’s looking her age on the cover, and not a bimbo, so for that I’d say the cover is a success. Love the insde spread also!
Cover is ok but the rest of the shoot is stunning! I think she looks really good and the locations have made the pics look amazing
Uh huh. Everything about it screams trying too hard. Malaika’s poses, the photgraphs, everything. Great location though
Malaika has never looked soo good !!!great styling and location.
