Get the look: Off-duty Cuteness

VJ-turned-actor Urwa Hocane was recently spotted at the opening of Javed Siddiqi’s play, Aapki Soniya, looking cool and casual in off-duty attire. We love how Urwa has maintained a delicate balance of style and comfort in such soaring temperatures. Here is how you can you can get a similar appeal:



Hair

The Madiha Maliha star styled her long and sleek, shiny locks in a half up-do — pinning her front bangs at the back of her head. Although we understand that one wants to keep her efforts to a bare minimum in such weary weather conditions, we would have appreciated the same look in blow-dried, neat hair. Nevertheless, in order to get a similar hairdo, straighten your hair after applying a small amount of untangling serum and pull your front layers to the back by clipping them together with a beautiful barrette.

Outfit



Urwa keeps it simple yet super smart in a crisp white double-pocket shirt and a pair of medium-blue skinny jeans. The white and blue combo is perfect to beat the heat this season. You can easily find a similar shirt at Stoneage (Rs1,500 to) or Mango (Rs2,000). For a pair of jeans, check out Levi’s factory outlet for a cheaper yet quality alternative.

Make-up



Urwa looks cute in subtle and light make-up that complements her outfit well. However, we wonder why the actor decided to use a different shade of nail polish for her toe nails because the blood-red paint on her finger nails looks uber-hot! To look as fresh as Urwa, daub a bit of Mac’s Lovecloud Blush (Rs1,800) on your cheeks and apply Mac’s Spring Forecast Pink Plaid shade of lipstick. Use Rimmel’s Glam Eyes Day2Nite mascara to make those pretty eyes stand out.

Accessories & Shoes





We completely agree with the actor’s choice of shoes as there is nothing more comfortable than a pair of simple flip flops this summer season. Check out Accessorize (Rs2,000) for some really cute and flirty flip flops. Urwa’s two-toned camel handbag is bang on trend and can easily be found at Charles and Keith (Rs5,000) or Hub Leather (Rs4,000). However, we would have appreciated if Urwa had added more accessories to spice up her outfit — a long gold chain or a statement necklace would have been a good pick.
