Rakul Nails Every Single Look On the Cover

Rakul Preet Singh has proved once again why she is called the Queen of Style, gracing the cover of HT City Showstoppers’ August 2026 edition in a jaw-dropping ivory lace gown with an oversized bow-shaped cape sleeve, paired with statement drop earrings and a sleek bun.

While several new-gen and popular heroines have struggled to crack big magazine covers, Rakul continues to own this space effortlessly, proving her fashion game is a league of its own.

The photoshoot also saw her serve multiple looks, a sage green fringe and sequin gown with puffed sleeves and a thigh-high slit, a fiery red one-shoulder gown with floral embroidery and a bold thigh slit, a silver-blue crystal-embellished halter gown, and a chic all-black winter look with emerald green stockings and a cream handbag. Each outfit showed off a different side of her style range, from glamorous and bold to classy and edgy.

Rakul is set to appear in Nitesh Tiwari’s ambitious two-part epic Ramayana, where she takes on the complex mythological role of Surpanakha, Ravana’s sister. With her cover shoot buzz and this big-ticket project on the horizon, Rakul Preet Singh’s 2026 is clearly shaping up to be a landmark year.
