In Marc Jacobs : Frieha Altaf at Masala Awards

At the Masala Awards held in Dubai last week, designer duo Sana Safinaz were crowned as the ‘Best International Designer of the Year’ . In attendance was Frieha Altaf wearing a strapless grey Marc Jacobs dress who received the coveted award from Sophie Choudry (in Manish Malhotra). Frieha almost always wows us, but this time we’re iffy over the choice of the dress itself and the excessive bronzer/tanning issues make it worse. Would have loved to see her in Manish Malhotra or even Sana Safinaz for that matter.

On a side note, congratulations to Sana Safinaz for much deserved win.

Check back later for more pictures.

Ayesha Omer in Sania Maskatiya

Wearing a Sania Maskatiya drawstring silk shirt from the designer’s Matyala Collection, Ayesha Omer hosted the Grand Finale of CNBC musical show ‘Lights Camera Action’ recently. Like the model, she paired it up with black bottoms & signature straight hair.

Though a tad bit casual, we like how she kept the look minimal & opted for flats instead of heels. Well, thats just Ayesha.

Meesha Shafi at Doha Tribeca Film Festival

One to almost always make atypical sartorial choices on the red carpet, Meesha Shafi attended the opening night ceremony and gala screening of “The Reluctant Fundamentalist” at the Doha Tribeca Film Festival in a white Cecilie Melli Maria Kjole dress. The fit & the fall of this Norwegian designer’s dress fell perfectly on Meesha & she accessorized it well with a glitter box clutch & soft wavy hair.

Do we Like it? Yes , Are we blown away by it ? No. Probably it had to do with the make-up which made her look washed out . A pop of color on the cheeks or lips would have done wonders. Whats your say?
