What a jaw-dropping transformation. Don't you agree?

Almost a decade after ruling the small screen, Mehwish Hayat has proven her mettle on the silver screen as well.

From her plain Jane look in TV serials, the 'Billi' we see in Na Maloom Afraad has evolved into a fashion-savvy celeb. Not only have her acting skills improved, but her personal style has also evolved tenfold with the passage of time.

As Mehwish celebrates her success in the entertainment industry, we take a look at her style evolution that has placed her among the best dressed celebrities:

The beginner

Mehwish entered the industry as a simple girl-next-door; straight long hair, natural eyes and thin eyebrows were a fashion staple a few years back but not this drab style of shalwar kameez.

Damsel in distress

Although her approach towards fashion was still minimalist, Mehwish landed some good roles and became a sought-after actress.

Desi girl

Almost all of Mehwish's major photoshoots were for eastern wear during the initial days of career. The heavy accessories and contouring added a desi touch to this star.

Eyebrows on fleek

Taking cue from the likes of Cara Delevingne and Kylie Jenner, Mehwish opted for strong brows. Thick eyebrows add more depth to her personality giving her a bold look.

This 'billi' can't be tamed

Mehwish's item number in Na Maloom Afraad made her a victim of social media bashing, but she brushed it all aside. And her latest stint in Jawani Phir Nahi Ani saw her rise on the big screen.
