As Bhutto matured, her style did as well. She switched to more sophisticated cuts and acquired a more 'put together' look as time went on. However, the essence of her style stayed. She was still into prints. Here she can be seen sporting a polka dot shirt. The late leader began incorporating scarves into her outfits but left them around her neck. She has accessorised her ensemble with a simple, leather watch featuring a square dial and a small pendant necklace. Her hair is cut short and parted in the middle while minimal makeup rounded off her look.

Her accessories include a floral ring and studded earrings while her makeup is bright and glossy.
