And the winners are: Yumna Zaidi becomes LSA's most award winning female actor for TV
The Lux Style Awards for 2023 took place at the Expo Centre Karachi amidst the razzmatazz. The star-studded event was hosted by Saba Qamar, Fahad Mustafa, Ahmed Ali Butt and Durefishan Saleem with several fan favourites taking home the silver statuettes.
Like previous runs, this year’s awards honoured achievements in fashion, television and music and film with some of the biggest names walking down the red carpet. The Youngest Lifetime Achievement Award was presented to veteran star Reema Khan after Saba's powerful tribute to the popular 90s artist. Marina Khan took home the Lux Changemaker's Award.
Yumna Zaidi broke all previous records and took home two trophies on Friday, making her the highest award-winning female actor in the TV category for the LSAs.
The red carpet was graced by the likes of Saba, Fahad, Sanam Saeed, Mohib Mirza, Aima Baig, Shae Gill, Sarwat Gilani, Farhan Saeed, Urwa Hocane, Yasir Hussain, Ali Xeeshan, filmmaker Nadeem Baig, Sarmad Khoosat, the Joyland team, Sunita Marshall, Hina Bayat Khwaja, Ali Zafar, Faisal Kapadia, among several others who were quizzed by the hosts for the night, Faizan Haque, Anoushey Ashraf, Saheefa Jabbar Khattak and Mariyam Nafees.
Several fresh faces were acknowledged in this year’s nominations, and while awards in many categories predictably went to industry bigwigs, quite a few trophies were taken home by relatively new and emerging talent. Here is the full list of winners at the 22nd LSAs.
