Trending this week
Hot, humid and icky. These are some of the words that come to mind when we’re asked to describe this past week. It’s impossible to work around this weather, so if you can’t beat it, join it! Easy, breezy dressing was the way to go and our style stars this week nail summer dressing with panache. Whether it was walking down a runway in Delhi or posing with their mini-me, our best dressed celebs never let this sweltering weather get in the way of looking chic.
Saira Yousaf
Karachi
If you’ve only seen Yousaf on TV and have no idea about her personal life, you’ll probably be shocked to know that the fresh-faced beauty is a mum already. Yousaf’s little one is a perfect mix of her girl next door look paired with her husband, Shehroz Sabzwari’s chocolate hero good-looks. Here, both mother and baby look summer fresh and super chic. We love the cool blue of Yousaf’s kurta that she accessorizes with oversized glasses. Extra points for the distressed denim and for being able to still make white sneaker look cool.
Ayesha Omar
Karachi
Who can resist Omar’s bubbly charm? Her effervescent personality is evident in her outfit choice. She pairs our favorite top of the season, a fringed, peplum-y number from A Dot that went for a Walk by Generation with dark, flared denim, peep toe heels and a stack of silver bangles. We j’adore how Omar mixed ethnic elements with Western sensibility for a funky, fusion look that you could wear for lunch, dinner or even a date!
Fawad Khan, Deepika Padukone and Manish Malhotra
New Delhi.
What did you expect? When rumours about Fawad Khan opening Delhi Couture Week for Manish Malhotra with Padukone started circulating, all the press could speculate about was how spectacular the duo would look. Turns out they look better in real life than they ever could in our imagination. Padukone made men and women alike swoon with her sultry good looks, while Khan’s restrained but charming demeanor continues to endear him to audiences locally and across the border. Joining the fabulous duo was couturier of the moment himself, Malhotra, who is a designer to the stars. The trio together brings the best of fashion, film and entertainment in one picture.
Meesha Shafi
If there’s one person in Pakistan who genuinely has individualistic style, it has to be Wazir Begum aka Meesha Shafi. The mother of two not only dresses to her own accord but also manages to pull of pieces that no one else could. But while most people look eccentric with a very off-beat signature style, Shafi simply looks fashion-forward. Here she pairs rainbow coloured mules with pleated grey culottes, a white top with an amazingly detailed collar that features manicured hands tying a button. Her dark lips and slicked back hair make for a very strong look.
