And what better way to kick off our year-end series than some eye-catching nostalgia from some of the most glamorous Indian glossies'?

After all, it's all about catching the eye, and Bollywood’s 'It' girls know a thing or two about selling sizzling covers in their many irresistible (often airbrushed) avatars.

Whether she’s photographed holidaying with her beau Ranbir Kapoor, dancing to the title track of Dhoom 3 or slipping into retro racy for Filmfare, Katrina Kaif is consistently knockout.

With serious hits like Race 2, Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani, Chennai Express and Goliyon Ki Rasleela-Ram Leela under her belt in the same year, Deepika Padukone is undoubtedly Bollywood’s reigning numero uno.

And her regal, resplendent appearance in a grand Marchesa gown underscores this feat befittingly on Vogue’s September issue.

Whether you’re impressed by her choice of roles on big screen, Chitrangda Singh appears straight out of a fantasy in that stunning, surreal gown on the cover of India’s first digital magazine.

While model Angela Jonson still awaits her turn to make a big screen debut opposite Salman Khan in Sher Khan, she’s doing rather well for herself in this magical, underwater cover for Grazia.

Last word on Pop Art, Andy Warhol would certainly give his thumbs up to Esha Gupta’s vibrant-in-fuchsia fervour for Verve’s out-of-the-box creativity.

Amy Jackson soaks in the sun flaunting her sexy curves in a stylish bathing suit for The Man’s ’Sizzling Summer' issue.

She had us at the Alexander McQueen.

Sonam Kapoor reaffirms her fashionista status by striking her signature pose in a drop dead gorgeous gown for Vogue’s double cover.

Half a portion of sugar. Half a portion of spice.

Mix them together and you've got Maxim girl Anushka Sharma captured in a tender but tempting mood.

The dainty Kalki Koechlin puts her bubblegum impressions aside to radiate a sassy, edgy, emo vibe on Femina.

Bottomline: classy never goes out of vogue.

Ever so game to experiment with her looks, Kangna Ranaut takes fierce to another level in her futuristic make-up and bindaas attitude.
