Alia On Elle India: (Un)Covered
Elle gave us a very striking cover this month… The all-mint, rather minimalist cover with Alia in retro-inspired garb has a rather arresting quality about it.
That said though, the starkness of the cover does highlight even the barest of imperfections. Not that it’s a deal-breaker. In an age where even the slightest imperfection is smoothed away, the folds on Alia’s pants are something we can live with. (And it only stood out in the first place because of the smooth composition of the cover!)
P.S. Alia is wearing Turquoise and Gold top and trousers, a Louis Vuitton scarf as a headwrap and jewellery from Isharya.

finally an awesome look from Alia — that is non-kiddish and striking .. hope this good streak continues.
I really like this cover. But I wish the lips were coral instead of red.
she looks minty fresh! very urban, cool and lovely! major props
That thing on her head makes her look truly ridiculous.
I found it really hard to look past all that mint but the look feels clumsily put together.
Just my words!
Agreed. I am not liking the seam on the pants or the scrunching. i like the look neck up but she needed better clothes for the cover.
I strongly disagree with you on the issue of imperfections on covers. Why the need to make it plastic. The folds are a welcome change and make it real. i wish more magazines adopt a realist approach to covers.
I think that is exactly what PnP are saying in the first place. -_-
i really like the cover. except for alia..
actually i dislike it a lot. too much attention on the shoulder and it’s almost like it’s trying toooo hard to be ‘cool’
The pants are too tight. Something looser fitting would have looked better.
Love the look…Very chic..the color is very very fresh…Alia looks good!
The hair – especially that one tail hanging – ruins this for me, totally!
honestly, i just cannot look past the way she is sitting…it just looks so awkward…
that being said… her face looks flawless
A nice flowy long skirt would have looked so much better.
she looks so fresh.. wow… liked the color
Love the concept, execution not so much. They could have swapped the uncomfortable looking tights with easy breezy palazzos, and neatly pulled up all the hair if they wanted to go for the turban look. Those unkempt strands look clumsy. If they wanted to go with the tights then the pose should have been different! Liking her face though.
She looks great!
Its such a welcome change, from all the plastic looking heroines in atrocious gowns photo-shopped to perfection!!!!!!!
