1. Kareena Kapoor Khan
Yes, it is true. “No one can get enough of Bebo”. Serving a heavy dose of glitter, Kareena Kapoor slipped into a glitzy golden Manish Malhotra dress, featuring a sequin-embellished train for Dirty Magazine's photoshoot. The fitted bodice combined with her ultra-glam makeup sealed her look of glamour.
2. Deepika Padukone
With her film career on a flourishing note, Deepika Padukone also made headlines for featuring in Time Magazine. She adopted a nude approach for her international triumph, decked up in a skin-coloured pantsuit. Her outfit featured a lapel-collared blazer and flared trousers. Minimal makeup with an on-fleek winged eyeliner gave the finishing touches to her look.
3. Alia Bhatt
Alia Bhatt has been going places with her professional career. The actress featured on the cover of GQ magazine in a red ensemble. But it was her fresh-dewy makeup that stole the spotlight. Blushed cheeks, light pink lips, and wispy lashes gave her face a slick finish with wet hair adding to the magic.
4. Tabu
Even with the changing times, Tabu has remained relevant in Bollywood. The credit goes to her stellar performances. The actress who often adds personal spice to her films became the cover girl for Masala magazine. She exuded boss-babe vibes in a white shirt and beige high-waist skirt, layered with a collared black leather jacket. A contoured, blush-tinted face with glossy nude lips and a dramatic smokey eye effect sealed her chic look.
5. Selena Gomez
Selena Gomez breathes fashion. Taking over the cover of Vogue Mexico Magazine, Selena rocked the spread in a sleek black kimono fit. Encrusted with pears in a swirled design, the outfit came with silver hoops attached all over. The singer elevated her allure with pale makeup and secured her tresses with a large black bow.

6. Rihanna
Rihanna is a fashion goddess. In British Vogue's March 2023 issue, the Umbrella singer slayed in a form-fitting black Chanel dress. The halter-neck ensemble that boasted a risque thigh-high slit screamed sexy from all angles. Going heavy-duty with her beauty mix, Rihanna dusted her skin with bronzer, applied a bold shade of brown lip colour, and turned heads with her distinct smokey eyes. Wild curly hair left open suited the aesthetics.
7. Kim Kardashian
Turning cover girl for GQ Magazine, media mogul Kim Kardashian took corporate power dressing to another level. She picked out a pin-striped white shirt that she paired with a black ruffled mini skirt and matching trousers. A printed tie rounded off her eccentric office-ready avatar. With flushed makeup, glossy lips, fluttery lashes, and wet slick hair it was hard not to hail her as the “GQ Man of the Year”.
8. Kylie Jenner
Kylie Jenner was the face of the Interview magazine for its Winter 2023 issue. In an itty-bitty black bralette and skinny black latex pants, the internet sensation pulled off the biker-girl avatar seamlessly. Sealing her OOTD with fresh face makeup and plump peach lips, Kylie was on top of her fashion and beauty game.
9. Kendall Jenner
We can't get over the Kardashians and Jenners on magazine covers. Kendall Jenner had nothing but gratitude to express when she appeared on the Forbes magazine cover. While black was her colour of the day, it was her heavily-contoured makeup with blush-tinted cheeks that gave a perfect sculpted finish. Light brown lip tint and mascara-coated lashes did the rest of the glam job.
10. Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift can never go out of style. Imagine bringing one's pet cat to feature in Time Magazine's photoshoot. A feat that can only be executed by the Anti-Hero singer. Weaving boldness with chicness, she put on a sheer black bodysuit and paired it with similar-shaded stockings. With her cheeks so rosy cheeks and lips painted in a shade of bright glossy red lipstick, she aptly ditched any heavy eyes. Back-brushed blonde tresses left open completed her OOTD and makeup game.
These covers certainly made a splash in 2023.
