Pakistani fashion Winning hearts in NYC

KARACHI: The first-ever Pakistan Film Festival kicked off on Friday night, attended by prominent Pakistani celebrities, ambassadors accredited to the UN, community members, media and movie buffs. The red carpet turned out to be a star-studded affair, with Mahira Khan, Adeel Hussain, Tooba Siddiqui, Mawra Hocane, Saba Qamar, Yasir Hussain and Sanam Saeed in attendance, amongst others. While each star was dressed to impress, Khan and Siddiqui were two ladies who left us floored in breath-taking ensembles.

Mahira Khan



The Bin Roye actor looked hot to trot in a heavily embellished Élan outfit. Wearing a halter-neck peplum top with intricate gold detailing, Khan draped a matching Studio S coat over her shoulders. We loved how the red layering of the coat was visible, adding colour to the all-black ensemble. While the outfit would be more apt for a wedding, her hairdo saved the day for. Khan didn’t look over-the-top because she tied her hair in a bun, and accessorised with dangling tassel earrings — which are definitely on our wish list for the upcoming wedding season. She completed her look with a pair of black Louboutin heels.

Tooba Siddiqui



The model sported a spot on look for the occasion. She wore an off-shoulder powder violet assymetrical number from designer Maheen Ghani Taseer’s line. The sheer detailing of the figure-hugging outfit accentuated her waistline and one sleeve trailed to the floor, as did her gown, making her look every bit a princess. A dark purple clutch, smokey eyes and neatly pulled back hair finished off Siddiqui’s look.
