With so many fashion events happening around the globe, we’re forever looking forward to witnessing the biggest and brightest fashion moments on social media. Whether it is an international award ceremony or the glitz and glamour of a local fashion show, a true fashion feast on the ramp or red carpet is what we anxiously wait for, especially in the post-pandemic era. Some of the recent fashion events such as renowned designer Fahad Hussayn’s solo show held in Lahore or the Fashion Awards 2021 that took place in London were a treat in the truest sense. Apart from that, a few international celebs were also seen donning stunning designs by our very own Pakistani designers and we couldn’t be prouder. This surely goes to show that be it fashion or art, creativity knows no borders.

And we think she looked absolutely ravishing in ace designer Umar Sayeed’s creation. Also, rocking a glimmering gold gown was model Fahmeen Ansari by couturier Shehla Chatoor. Ansari opted for statement gold earrings and matching heels.
