The Timeless Iconic Saree Looks of Pakistani Actresses
There are some fashion trends that come and go, but the saree has a way of staying relevant. It can be traditional, glamorous, soft or modern, depending on the style. Pakistani actresses have also provided us with lots of saree moments, which is enough to say that this 6-yard classic will not go out of style.
From dreamy pastel colours to rich green and gold, these celebrities have each brought their own personality to the timeless outfit. The beauty of these looks is even more special because of the work done by some of the well-known designers of Pakistan.Let's take a look at some of the most memorable looks of Pakistani actresses that should be a part of every fashionista's mood board.
Hania Aamir’s Dreamy Manish Malhotra Saree
Hania Aamir looked ethereal in a Manish Malhotra couture saree, which was apt for her soft and feminine style.The colors used in the saree were beautiful dusty rose and lavender which added a touch to the overall look. The fabric was light and airy, adorned with embellishments that shimmered in the light, adding a touch of glamour without overwhelming the garment.
Hania completed the look with statement jewellery and sleek, flowing hair. The style was classy yet simple, where the saree remained the center of attraction.The metallic elements added the signature Manish Malhotra touch to the ensemble, and the soft hues maintained its grace. It is the style of the saree that can be easily used for a glamorous evening event.
Mawra Hocane’s Dreamy Faiza Saqlain Saree
In this beautiful Faiza Saqlain Saree, Mawra Hocane has opted for a more subtle and feminine style.The champagne colored piece has a dreamy pastel look with subtle pink, peach and green hues. The colours lend an almost vintage look to the saree, and the intricate embroidery adds a subtle sparkle.The blouse is also stunning, adorned with detailed work around the neckline and sleeves. Mawra matched the outfit with dramatic jewellery, such as a traditional necklace and matching earrings.
The loose side-parted hair and soft makeup complemented the outfit perfectly. There was no over-dramatic element to it and that is what made the look so appealing.Mawra's saree moment is all feminine, graceful and quietly glamorous. It shows that bright colours and heavy make-up are not a prerequisite for a memorable saree.
Maya Ali’s Regal Maya Pret A Porter Saree
Maya Ali infused a whole new vibe into the saree with this deep green design from her brand Maya Pret A Porter in Hina Afridi’s wedding.The rich green saree has beautiful gold floral detailing on the fabric. The instant it is combined, it provides the outfit with a traditional and luxurious appearance, and the detailed border provides even more richness to the drape.Maya matched it with a matching green blouse with a beautiful neckline and gold embroidery on the sleeves. Her jewellery was equally impressive, featuring a traditional necklace with layers and statement earrings.Her hair was pulled back neatly and her defined makeup added to the look of the outfit.The green and gold color is a classic in South Asian fashion and Maya's outfit demonstrates it. It is regal, elegant and classic, yet not dated.
Durefishan Saleem’s Golden Mohsin Naveed Ranjha Saree
Mohsin Naveed Ranjha's champagne-gold saree was the perfect choice for Durefishan Saleem, who looked effortlessly elegant in it.The blouse embellishments add a bit of luxury to the outfit. The use of details is one of the most interesting aspects as it creates a nice contrast against the gold base.
Durefishan kept a style with the saree being the center of attention. The overall look was graceful, with Durefishan's hair waves, small bangles and light makeup enhancing the graceful appearance.The overall finish is soft, royal and feminine. The overall finish is an example of how a saree can be luxurious while not having too many accessories or being overly dramatic.
Sajal Aly’s Classic Mariam D Rizwan Saree
Sajal Aly showed a look of a saree in this black velvet saree by Mariam D Rizwan.The deep black velvet adds richness and sophistication to the outfit and the intricate gold border adds a traditional element. The dark cloth with the shiny embellishments creates an immediate impact on the saree.Sajal maintained a totally elegant and balanced look. Her soft waves and subtle jewellery enabled the saree to be the star of the show rather than a competitor.Black is one of those colors that always looks good and the velvet fabric brings this look to the next level. The outcome is chic, classic, and modern.
Why These Saree Looks Stand Out
The reason these saree moments are so special is that the actresses didn't go by the same script.Hania Aamir opted for soft dusty rose and lavender, with shimmering couture details. Mawra Hocane opted for dreamy champagne and pastel shades. Maya Ali took to the classic green and gold hues with her own brand, Maya Pret A Porter. Durefishan Saleem and Sajal Aly were both elegant in champagne gold and black velvet, respectively.
Every sari style has its own charm, and that's what makes the sari so special. The same outfit can create a completely different fashion statement depending on the color, fabric, jewelry and styling.These actresses also prove that it's not necessary to follow every trend to make a fashion statement. At times, a classic shape, exquisite workmanship, and the perfect look is all that is needed.And if these looks of sari have taught us anything, it is that the classic sari will forever hold a special place in the Pakistani fashion.
