We are surprised to see the Cue dress make an appearance again already, but not surprised to see it on Gauri. After all, what can be more comfy that a flowy number like this when you are in your second trimester!
P.S. What was your favorite thing to wear when you were pregnant?
Catch more pictures from the event at ‘The Gallery’.

We had seen the Gauri and Nainika houndstooth print in a yellow version on Deepika and now we see Gauri Pradhan in a classic black version.
Like the wrap dress better or the summer dress on Deepika?

Major debate had ensued over the Vogue India August cover (if the cover was vogue-worthy or not)… On special request, here is the inside flap of the cover… so tell us now, is the cover after all ‘vogue-worthy’ or, not?

Since you all asked, here’s what we think:
Priyanka Says:
For me, the cover just doesn’t work. I do appreciate using these ladies on the cover but if the context was portraying them as the ‘influencers’ of style then they should have been portrayed in beautiful Indian clothes. Lets assume that maybe they thought by doing so, they’d be taking the stereotyped ‘tv-bahu’ image too far then they should have gone way over the top with ethnic clothes and done a kitschy-witty play on them with a larger than life set. Assuming, even that got shot down in one of those meetings, it is still beyond me why they’d use television sets as props. Thats just taking a short-cut and being unimaginative. The choice of clothes, accessories and styling of hair is amateur at its best.
Over using these soap actresses, I say why not? Bollywood actresses have long graced fashion mag covers and considering these soaps reach just as many people and almost every day make their presence felt, using them on the cover was a novel idea. If only it was done better.
Anyway, am tired of seeing actresses (of all mediums) on these covers, bring back the models already!
Payal Says:
Well, if Vogue considers them as influencers of style, they should picture them in “character” and not in Dolce/Hermes and Gauri & Nainika which most of them rarely wear anyways and rather use a mix of the other Indian-wear designers…
