Cover Wars
It’s happened before where the same dress gets used on the cover of two different magazines (Remember this?). This time though, Twinkle wears the Pre-fall Christian Dior gown on a cover that hit stands before Shilpa’s. Even though, for some, having Akshay on the cover too (and no, not because of the ex-factor but just because he is such a hunk) might tip the scales, we prefer the Harper’s Bazaar as it didn’t hide the gown.

twinkle wins this round. she has the gorgeous, successful hubby. sorry shilpa
So your saying, Twinkle has nothing without the man?
I wouldn’t feel sorry for Shilpa in that case, LOL.
LOL. Totally forgot bout Shilpa and Akshay’s history! Now gotta clarify the text!
Shilpa owns this gown, she looks fabulous!
And to Nalini’s comment,how does having a gorgeous/successful hubby make someone better? If anything, as a woman, you should realize the power of a woman- she can conquer the world, on her own!!!!
wow i didnt think my comment would be a big deal. actually i meant having the hubby as an accessory like arm candy. guess i should have said that, too.
it does not mean she IS better. it means she LOOKS better. 🙂
i doubt she really meant that the man maketh the woman.
i mean, twinkle is gorgeous regardless and she’s successful too in her field, but having arm candy doesn’t hurt.
don’t take things so seriously people. LoL like angelina jolie is damn successful, but yummy arm candy doesn’t hurt
Its a stunning gown, I really cant decide. As a cover, Harper’s Bazaar is much better, but Twinkle is prettier in that gown.
i think Shilpa’s hair and her confident attitude wins the round for me..and i don’t think having an attractive husband/partner is the mark of a beautiful woman…
I don’t really like either…but if I HAD to choose, my vote goes to Shilpa.
As much as I wanted Shilpa to change her hairstyle this is not doing it for me. Seems like an in between look – neither styled nor tousled.
The dress is lovely, especially the draping and the way it falls. But this silhouette, color and the dress overall is a very feminine one; it does not work on someone like Shilpa. The L’officiel cover is so beautiful and Twinkle carries it like it as intended to be. If you notice, the model looks tough, yet is once a gain feminine, body language and appearance wise and thus she also makes it wrk.
The Harpers one is repetitive and pointless.
Harpers bazaar- don’t like it at all..
twinkle akshay- pose is awkward..
gown color looks nice only on the dior model..
shilpa win this hands down her dusky skin tone compliments the colour of the dress
the twinkle one lightening is just too much to make them fairer and they are way too airbrushed so i have to go with the shilpa cover atleast she looks real
LOL. actually, the first thing i thought when i saw the cover was how un-shilpa she looks. if you see it closely for 5 seconds, it looks like someone has smacked her nose, it looks FLAT. like she fell down on her nose of something and her nose permanently held that position . u know the way we see in cartoons? bad bad BAAAAAADDDD photoshopping
The only thing about Twinkle and Akshay cover is… Twinkle is giving a dreamy pose and Akshay is smiling for the camera. Shouldnt both look like “they dont know the picture is being taken” kind of pose?? (case in point – Sonam and Imraan)
Awwww Twinkle and Akshay look cute 🙂 and Shilpa looks good too
Can I vote for the Dior dress?
(there’s a reason why Dior is my favorite 😉 )
Both the pics look like they have been photshoped to death! Its almost like the 80’s shoulder pads…. when designers first invented they thought the more the better and would use it to death… only to realize its not so! Photographers please dont make the same mistake!
I think Shlpa does justice to a cover pose for a magazine,plus she looks better in the dress.
shilpa looks glamorous and the cover looks high fashion so shilpa wins this
Cover-wise Twinkle and Akshay, but of course for the gown Harpers does justice.
Does Shilpa not remind anyone else of Jennifer Aniston? Like random jhalaks/glimpses? It happened to me again looking at this picture, I feel a little crazy.
I still the way it looks on twinkle better.. i don’t like shilpa’s expression and the hair is just weird!
u cannot actually see twinkle look properly so shilpa wins
‘best bags and shoes’ is the only creative thing they cud come up with?
Her name “shilpa Shetty” on the cover seems like an after thought. The editor could have added something to her name to tell the buyers why she is up on the cover.
Shilpa all the way
