In the July edition of Cosmopolitan India, the edgy and versatile Shruti Haasan takes over the cover for the magazine’s celebrated “Real Girl Issue”. Known for her signature “tomboy-esque” charm and raw energy, Shruti delivers a high-octane performance that perfectly blends rock-star grit with high-fashion glamour.
For the cover, Shruti is seen in a “hot and raw” fusion look, featuring a studded denim bustier paired with sleek black leather trousers. The outfit is anchored by a statement belt and an oversized floral ring, creating a visual narrative that celebrates being the “star of the show” while staying true to one’s authentic self.
The hair and makeup direction was led by Bianca Hartkopf (Toabh Talents), who crafted a voluminous, tousled hairstyle and a bold, polished beauty look to match the “hot and raw” theme of the shoot. Behind the lens, the editorial captures Shruti’s “dude-like” spirit and effortless confidence, resulting in a portrait of contemporary strength and style.
