Style Icon: Rabia Butt

Young, gorgeous and unconventionally beautiful Rabia Butt started her career as a model for Maria B a few years ago.

Young, gorgeous and unconventionally beautiful Rabia Butt started her career off as a model for Maria B only a few years ago. But she has quickly made her way to Pakistan’s list of top models, appearing in a variety of national and international fashion shows. Even at the beginning of her career, there was no fashion event that didn’t have this beauty on the ramp.

When asked about her style philosophy, the stunning diva says, “Simple, practical and comfort appeal is a priority. Less is more.” She believes that comfort trumps fashion. “As a model, I get to wear all sorts of clothes so when it comes to personal style I prefer relaxed over stiff or complicated apparel.”

Even though she has modelled for many fashion designers, her favourite local brand is Khaadi because of its “ethereal feel.” Even though she is not a fan of heavy jewellery, some accessories are essential for her, such as a wrist watch and pinky rings.



Rabia has also been credited for her acting talent in several ads and music videos. This model-cum-actor is going forward with her acting career by debuting in the upcoming film Hijrat, which releases end of this year. She plays the character of a doctor at a refugee camp, so we will definitely be seeing a non-glam version of the beauty.

Evident from the fact that she is a two-time winner of the Lux-Style Award for best model, she is certainly the fashionista to look out for!
