Alia Bhatt, who features on the cover, recently launched the latest issue of Harper’s Bazaar at an event in Mumbai. This time around, the cover was actually a tribute to a 1959 cover by model Dovima. Have you seen it?

Love how Alia’s been styled! And if you’re wondering about the inspiration behind the cover, it seems that the original Dovima version was a nod to Harper’s insertion of ‘A’ into their name, as they were previously known as Harper’s Bazar (as opposed to Bazaar). Even Anne Hathway did a tribute cover for Harper’s UK back in February:

P.S. remember we told you that cornrows are back in style? Alia was sporting this hairdo at the unveiling event herself!
