Deepika Padukone's Harper's Bazaar to Janhvi Kapoor's Cosmopolitan India - Let's have a Look at Best and Worst Magazine Covers of October 2019
As we bid adieu to October 2019, here's taking a look at all the magazine covers that we think were the best and the worst of the lot.
October was filled with festivities with Dussehra and Diwali falling in the same month. While a lot was happening in the Bollywood circles and we mean different Diwali parties hosted by various celebrities, there were few other things that kept us equally occupied. As the B-town ladies strutted in style and picked the best ethnic outfits for this festive season, fashion magazines too were busy narrating their own tales - which were slightly different than our festive mood.

Among the many magazine covers that dominate our Instagram feed these days, some are able to shine while others simply fail to have any impact. Gone are the days when Filmfare and Femina would find a place in all your city salons. Today every publication has its own fashion department catering to its loyal customers. While Vogue is able to strike a chord on most of the occasions, its rivals are slowly and steadily finding a place in a market that's otherwise dominated with this big publishing house. Speaking of which, let's have a look at different covers that we think were the best and the worst of this month. Sara Ali Khan on Hello! Magazine Cover Proves There IS Such a Thing As TOO Much Bronzer!
BEST
Vogue India
Mahesh Babu, Dulquer Salmaan and Nayanthara were chosen as the face of Vogue's October issue and we think it was a brilliant movie. It was high time these southern stars get their due on the magazine covers that are literally the talk of the town these days. Their popularity is immense and their glam quotient is undeniable. Though the cover is pretty basic and a bad case of photoshop in fact, we like the theme and idea behind it.
Filmfare
Shahid Kapoor turned the cover boy for Filmfare India's recent edition and we think his mag cover was quite lively. Sasha posing in his blue floral blazer against a bright red backdrop surely makes for a hell of an experience. Sometimes being simple is the key and you can see the wonder it's able to weave.
Harper's Bazaar
Harper's Bazaar prefers being sophisticated in its approach and they would rarely try to think out of the box. Yet, the same thought process works in their favour or is it Deepika Padukone's charm that's doing some extra wonders here? We don't care as long as the final outcome is so damn alluring.
WORST
Brides Today
Aditi Rao Hydari turned the muse for Brides Today magazine and her cover was definitely underwhelming. Neither her picture nor the outfit had any amount to 'wow' element to it and we genuinely believe that it had ample of scope to shine.
Cosmopolitan India
Cosmopolitan India is probably the laziest in all publications of our country or probably they don't want to expand their territory. Making their cover girl stand against a solid background is their usual theme and they rarely pick anything different. While Janhvi's smile would be able to sell some copies, their bright white backdrop is what would ideally turn us down!
Man's World
Interestingly, Janhvi's Dhadak co-star, Ishaan Khatter falls under the same category and for reasons more or less similar. Making your cover boy sit on a stool is so 80s! Why underutilise a talent like him? Elle India did a fantastic shoot with this boy in September 2019 and probably others should learn a cue or two from them.
That's all for this month, we'll be back with a different list curated for the month of November. Toodles.
