LSA AWASH PAKISTAN By Fashionista Fatima
The Glitz, The Glamour, The Glitterati! Lux Style Awards has been paying homage to show business & recognizing excellence of professionals in Film, TV & Music from 11 years. The formal ceremony at which the Awards of Merit are presented is the most esteemed award ceremony in Pakistan. This year’s red carpet threw up a mixed bag of sartorial statements, some unexpected hits & some disappointing losers, but a few clear trends. Fashionista Fatima will sail you through our “On Trend” list with apt analysis.
The Star Of The Night – Ali Zafar Ali Zafar became the centre of attraction at the Lux Style Awards as he arrived in typical Ali Zafar vogue and his Omar Farooq tuxedo got noticed on the red carpet. The show of high-voltage allure was subjugated by the presence of Ali Zafar. He received the award for the Best Music Album for “Jhoom” and enlightened the evening with a tribute to the late King of Ghazal Mehdi Hassan, a medley of hit songs. Ali Zafar & Humaima Malik gave a performance of an invigorating finale that ended on the high notes of Madhubala. All in all Ali Zafar proved that he is the only “STAR” that can entertain for hours through his exhilarating performance.
Master Of Ceremonies – Ahmad Ali Butt Ahmad Ali Butt - the jack of all trades hosted the event & not only he carried the whole show on his witty wings but also broke all traditional rules of hosting. Looking sharp & on trend in Omar Farooq’s peak-lapel tuxedo & Tom Ford accessories, Ahmed gave a whole new meaning to hosting the biggest

award show of the country. His LSA rap number sung on the tune of ‘Smack That’ gave spectators hysterical fits. Ahmed kept audience thoroughly entertained & alive by seasoning the script with his frenzied humour & electrifying performance. The man is the monarch of Theatre, Fashion, Film, Television & Music. A little bird told us that we might be seeing him hosting a morning show very soon. Watch out IFFA & OSCARS we got the BUTT POWER
The Men Of The Evening - ON Trend 1. Adnan Malik looked fantastic in Deepak Pervani. This is how all men should arrive at the award ceremonies even if they don’t have the honour of winning the best music video director award. 2. Deepak Pervani looked ravishing in Deepak Pervani. His offbeat style sets him apart from all the other men on the red carpet. Deepak & Ahmad carried the Black on Black look with precision 3. Tapu Javeri was a bracing sight to watch with the fluorescent tie. It added a rakish vibe to his impeccably neat look. Fluorescent hues are in trend & Tapu pulled of this endearing look benevolently.
The Women Of The Evening - On Trend This year the dresses, at least among the strapless brigade, seemed spectacular. Many got it right by following 2012 colours, such as metallics, golds & family of white and this seasons strapless cut, but many failed to follow trends in the attempt of playing it safe.
