Priyanka on Harper’s Bazaar:(Un)Covered
Although it’s a romantic soft look for Priyanka on the cover (which we like), it is the more hard look (which you can find inside) that grabbed our attention.

Here’s an excerpt from the interview…
There’s something about Priyanka Chopra that never fails to surprise. If you think she’s got one of the best bodies in the business, you’re right. At 5’7”, Priyanka has a lean, athletic frame, and an unbelievable 24-inch waist. Yet, she loves to indulge herself. This girl is a true Punjabi at heart and loves her food. (Her mum supposedly sends her a full dabba of home-cooked food on set.) And if she looks relaxed and easy-going, she is. She’s friendly and smiles all the time. But the truth is, she’s juggling an incredibly paced schedule: inside her vanity van, she’s conducting a chat with a radio station (while she’s getting ready for this shoot), and afterwards, she has a showroom inauguration to attend to.
Known for her brass-tacks, straightforward approach to work, she replies: “Both my parents were doctors in the Army, so a lot of my discipline and work ethic come from my upbringing. Growing up in the US for a few years also gave me a different perspective and contributed to this work ethic and outlook.” And it’s this attitude that has catapulted her to the top of her league. “I love what I do; it’s that simple. My passion is what drives me.” Priyanka initially studied to be an aeronautical engineer, and it was only a chance entry into the Miss India pageant that made her change tracks (her younger brother and mother sent in the form without her knowledge), forever. It’s only after her Miss World win that she found her “true calling”—cinema. “I’ve worked very hard to achieve these dreams, and you have to make the most of the chances life gives you. I come from a normal, middle-class background far removed from the film industry. I’d say I’m destiny’s favourite child!”
An unconventional beauty in an industry ruled by fair-skinned, light-eyed beauty standards, how does she fare? “Looks do play an important role for any actor in mainstream cinema, and that is not restricted to our film industry alone; it happens everywhere. But, if you go back into the history of Indian cinema and even today, you will see that Indian audiences have been very accepting. While we have had some of the most beautiful women and handsome men grace our screens, we have also made superstars out of ordinary people who cannot be classified as traditionally good-looking. At the end of the day, I believe, more than looks, it’s how you connect with the audience that matters,” says Priyanka.

She looks utterly gorgeous in the Emilio Pucci dress. In the front cover it is either photoshop or the makeup at fault which makes the size of her face and features out of proportion to her body.
Exactly! she looks so disgusting in the cover page! Really a bad picture for the cover!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She wears the Valentino well
looks more vintage than spring if u ask me “fashion” wise!
Love the androgynous look. Somehow reminded me of Rihanna, though.
agree, that was my first thought too
she looks good……an edgy shoot!
the cover is ordinary. Same old hair and all.
But i do like the other 2 pics.
love it! she looks fantastic! :-) no comments about the SUPER fake interview :-p keeping quiet about that!
She is looking a lot like Jacqueline Fernandes in the last pic!But good nevertheless. Now, if only she could dress edgy like this in real life too!
Totally agree! Wish she would play up her real life fashion a bit too. She totally has the body and the attitude for it.
Pucci looks the best .. (feels strange to say that considering in Tamil “poochi” means bug).
poochi in hindi is used to address a loved one
for e.g. meri poochi….hehehe! :)
she looks gorgeous in the pucci dress
Sorry to say but there’s no WOW factor in this shoot. The last pic is so Sonam!!!!! Harper’s needs to do an anniversary issue with Sonam!!
I like it better than the march cover of vogue. Love the make up on the cover !
They could have shoot on a better
Place than on white background and a car,
Not very creative IMO!
she s luking hawt..
She looks fabulous in the 2 looks inside..I particularly love the look with the pants and the jacket, which is a departure from her usually girly looks…i wish she experimented more with her looks similarly in real life!
I cant’ come to terms with center partition with her hair at all. Either it doesn;t suit her or it’s the way its styled..just puts me off
I agree it looks like a wig…
Love the cover! Most gorgeous she’s ever looked!
payal :P.S. Although we added a snippet of the interview, keep in mind the comment policy. Only fashion related ones will be approved.
hahhaa….
u know wats in our mind rt gals??
but apart from what we are not supposed to say she looks grt in
the pic wid car :)
Why didn’t they put one of the other pics on the cover? I love the one in the pants.
No doubts She looks fabulous but i feel it is an overdose of Magazine covers with Priyanka and Ash.
She still has a 24inch waist!Kudos!
I absolutely hate the cover!!! Its sooo stereo typical and I agree the hair looks weird. She looks fab in the jacket and pants…the suspenders…really cool.
There is something magical about black and white pictures!! How beautiful is she!! Awesome!
