Ace your IG photoshoot like a celebrity

In a world where Instagram photoshoots have become a competitive sport, some celebrities don't just play the game—they rewrite the rulebook. With backdrops ranging from artfully shadowed rooms to the sleekest luxury cars, these stars take their fashion moments to cinematic heights, leaving the rest of us scrambling to hit "like" before we've even processed the brilliance. It's not about the number of photos; it's about the precision of each frame. And when it comes to these celebs, they've mastered the art of turning a photoshoot into pure, unadulterated spectacle.

Haunting high fashion

Saba Qamar is bringing all the drama with her Gatsby-esque photoshoot, where she seamlessly fuses Old Hollywood glam with a modern, edgy twist. Cloaked in a lavishly embroidered black coat, Saba stands shrouded in mystery, peeking through flowing black drapes. The intricate floral designs glint against the dark, making the ensemble as visually arresting as it is hauntingly chic. And let's not forget the black lip—an absolute power move that elevates the vibe to high fashion goth.

Regal in red

Switching gears to a regal, scarlet moment, Ayeza Khan proves that sometimes the best accessory to an outfit is luxury itself—in this case, a sleek car door. With her dazzling red sharara flowing like liquid rubies, the actor opts for a classic open-door shot, looking effortlessly sophisticated. The outfit, a beaded extravaganza, wraps her in elegance while the high ponytail adds a refreshing modern contrast to the traditional attire. This look screams timeless class and could also be viewed as a modern spin on the traditional red bridal wear.

A black and white boss

Mehwish Hayat nailed the balance between chic and commanding. Her sleeveless white button-down paired with pinstripe trousers—either grey or black (hard to tell, thanks to the black and white filter)—held up by suspenders is a masterclass in understated cool. The look teeters between boardroom boss and musical theatre lead, especially with her tap-shoe-ready stance in the barefoot photos. What makes this work is its simplicity. It's like she's saying, "I don't need extra frills; I am the frill." That, paired with the monochrome aesthetic, makes this photoshoot a minimalist's dream.

Demure diaries

Then there's Sonya Hussaiyn, whose "whispers of demure reflection" Instagram caption truly encapsulates her stylish look. As part of her "style diaries" series, she donned a sheer polka-dot organza blouse, its tie at the neck adding a touch of whimsy, while the pencil skirt kept it polished. The finishing touch? Oversized sunglasses and a GQ magazine casually in hand. This accessory wasn't just about looking chic—it gave the whole shoot a sharp editorial edge.

Styling a saree

Adding to the roster of Instagram aces, Amna Ilyas brought her own brand of elegance to the platform. Draped in an orange and white saree, she made the traditional look feel fresh and vibrant. The blouse, a full-sleeve piece with intricate orange, gold, and teal patterns, brought all the Desi-ness, while the plain white skirt and paloo, with orange stripes cascading at the hem, offered a clean and crisp contrast. Amna's decision to drape the paloo over her shoulder and down the front, while posing in a cosy home setting, added an effortless feel to the shoot. It's like she's saying, "Who says glamour is reserved for the red carpet?"
