Independence Day looks

August 22, 2021

Patriotism was in the air last weekend as Pakistan celebrated its 75th Independence Day. Inspired by our venerated sabz hilali parcham, several celebrities donned their finest green and white garb to pay homage to our homeland. Here are some of our favourite looks…

Independence Day looks

Maya Ali

Maya Ali is a vision of elegance in this striking dress from her MAYA Pret collection. The green sharara with gold details features a short shirt with a crescent and star embroidered neckline. Now that’s an outfit anyone would happily be “spotted” in – excuse the pun – on
Independence Day.

Urwa Hocane

Independence Day looks

How beautiful is Urwa Hocane’s hand-painted dupatta! The Parniyaan by Ayesha Jawad stole displays verses by the late Ahmad Nadeem Qasmi: “Khuda kare kay mere arz-e-pak pay uttray/woh fazl-e-gul jissay undaisha-e-zawal na ho.” The script gives her ensemble a unique touch and poetic flair.

Kubra Khan

Independence Day looks

Kubra Khan went with a white outfit for her Independence Day attire, pairing her dress with a green dupatta that features gold details. She looks radiant in this photograph alongside the Pakistani flag, and her style goes to show how simple can still be effective.

Mansha Pasha

Mansha Pasha’s outfit may be a lighter shade of green, but it still exudes the Independence Day spirit. The beautiful dress – Laurel by Elan – has pale green layers with delicate ivory floral embroidery alongside an embroidered cream dupatta and tapered tonal trousers. It’s understated, classy, and an elegant way of wearing your patriotism.
