When actresses make smoking hot magazine covers

It's quite a norm these days for film actresses to feature on magazine covers. From Karisma Kapoor to kid sister Kareena, everybody does it once in a while. And it's a happy change for fans too.

The sultry Chitrangada Singh appears on the July edition of Verve magazine. The actress, who's known for her long tresses, ditches them for a more edgy look with a curly bob, some sheer fabric and dramatic eye make up.

We look at other such unusually glamorous pictures of our leading ladies, from various magazines.
