This or that!: Syra Yousuf or Alishba Yousuf?
While Alishba kept it chic and demure in a rather casual outfit, Syra was high on funk.

Sisters and VJs Alishba and Syra Yousuf were recently spotted on the pink carpet of the Veet Celebration of Beauty 2013 event in completely opposite looks. While Alishba kept it chic and demure in a rather casual outfit, Syra was high on funk and experimentation. Here is a breakdown:.
Alishba Yousuf
Hair and Make-up
We love Alishba’s vintage-inspired hairdo. While the messy bun and curly locks are attractive, we feel a side-part would have looked much better. Smokey eyes are a fav! But compared to her subtle outfit, her eye make-up is way too overpowering.
Outfit
Everything about Alishba’s outfit is bang on trend. The pastel pink lace top with diamante detailing on the neckline, paired with white linen pants is simply fab! Though, we are not sure if the outfit is suitable for a red carpet event — it looks more like a ‘girls’ night out outfit.
Accessories and Shoes
Once again, apart from her super hot earrings, everything else is a bit too casual for an awards night. The floral printed heels are adorable, but better suited for a day brunch we feel. And that silver baggy wallet/clutch could have been swapped for a statement Sidra Nasir handbag.

Hair and Make-up
There is simply nothing that Syra has missed out — she looks truly refreshing with dead straight locks that enhance her bob cut and subtle, glowing make-up. We are in love with her pale orange lip shade.
Outfit
We appreciate celebrities taking risks on the red carpet but a lungi/lacha is taking it way too far! While her Sania Maskatiya outfit is bright, colourful and funky, the lower half would have been a more appropriate for a Lollywood Comic Con than one of the biggest fashion events in the industry. Maybe it’s the busy prints that are keeping us from falling in love with this outfit? The pieces would have worked great separately.
Accessories and Shoes
Syra’s chunky gold necklace is definitely the fashion statement of this year! And we are glad that she did not pair it up with a bunch of other accessories that would have taken all the attention away. Thankfully, Syra kept it simple with a pair of black, velvet heels.
