Get the look: Sleek and Sophisticated

Mahira’s minimalist, elegant look is refreshing.

Actor Mahira Khan took classy and elegant to the next level at the premier of Main Hoon Shahid Afridi at Atrium Cinemas, Karachi. Her low key outfit and accessories, along with simple hair and light make-up, make for an understated statement, and we love it.

Hair

Mahira went for a simple blow dry at the event. Do the same at home or at your local salon to achieve a similar look of grace. If you are in a rush, just paddle dry your hair upside down for volume.

Make-up



With practically no eye make-up, dewy skin, and a light lip, Mahira is literally glowing, and her barely there make-up is doing wonders for her. To achieve a similar look, apply ample amounts of Rimmel’s Scandaleyes mascara to your eyelashes (Rs1,200). Use a cream blush on your cheeks to get a more dewy effect. We love the cream blush by Bourjois in Rose Tender (Rs1,200). For a light lip that will last you all night, try Rimmel’s Apocalips lip lacquer in Celestial (Rs1,600).

Outfit



Transitioning an outfit from spring into fall can be a trying task, but Mahira pulls this sleek grey jumpsuit off with ease. The colour is perfect for fall, while the style still keeps her cool in the heat! By cinching her waist with a belt, Mahira manages to show off her great figure without coming off as revealing — another plus point. You can get a similar jumpsuit at Mango (Rs7,000).

Accessories and Shoes



Mahira’s clear shoes are bang on trend, and her clutch does a great job of complementing her outfit. You can buy a similar pair of shoes at Charles & Keith (Rs4,000), along with a clutch. Going for nominal accessories, Mahira is wearing a darling pair of silver dangly earrings, along with a few statement rings, all which can be found at Accessorize (Rs2,500).

Overall, we think Mahira’s minimalist, elegant look was refreshing, and her jumpsuit was a great choice for the premiere of the film.
