Humaima Malick at Asian Pacific Screen Awards

This might be coming a little late, but we just got our hands on Humaima Malick’s pictures from the Asian Pacific Screen Awards held back in November in Sydney. The actress who received the award for Best Actress for her role in the BOL ( yet again) posed for photogs in a cobalt blue halter neck gown & side swept waves. We like the color & the styling, however the fit of the dress waist-up felt off. The neon yellow clutch seemed out of place too. We’re still waiting for that one particular appearance of Humaima’s that’ll sweep us off our feet – we know she will – one day !

Can anybody identify the dress for us?

Update: The gown was a Sadaf Malaterre. Thank you Anam for the identity :)

In Sadaf Malaterre : Humaima Malick at SAIFF 2012

Humaima Malick recently won the first ever South Asian Rising Star Film Award in the Best Lead Actress category for her role in film BOL at SAIFF 2012 (South Asian International Film Festival). For the awards night held in New York, she picked a sequinned Sadaf Malaterre dress from the designer’s ‘Blackbird’ collection which come as a collaboration of art & fashion between Sadaf & artist Anjum Alix Noon. She kept the look casual with the hair left open & a pair of yellow pumps. We like that Humaima opted for a fun & quirky dress instead of a pageantry floor-length & kept the look minimal.

P.S. Humaima was the only Pakistani at the Film Festival which is the largest entertainment gala related to South Asian entertainment industry held in the United States in collaboration with HBO. She was competing with Indian actresses Tanishtha Chatterjee, Parineeti Chopra, Rasika Dugal and Preeti Desai in the Best Lead Actress category. So Proud of you Humaima :)

Of Stylists & Critics – Lux Style Awards 2012

While Andaleeb Rana (fashion critic & Editor-in-Chief Xpoze Magazine) chose a knee length, gold sequin number by Sadaf Malaterre for the awards, stylist Ranaa Khan picked a more nude toned, floor length one (again by Sadaf – and hence the similarity). For us it was a clear win – major props to Andaleeb’s flawless skin & sandals. Infact it was such a relief to finally see someone skip the sky-high pumps for a much more comfortable & chic pair of sandals. Don’t blame us for not getting too excited about Ranaa. Other than falling prey to inner-wear malfunction (if you know what we mean), it was too cliché’d a look for the Green Carpet.

While it was shimmer & shine for these ladies, Fareshteh & Nabila went the ‘simple & elegant’ route. We don’t exactly know who Nabila is wearing – but considering the oddly similar cut of her dress to that of Fareshteh’s , we re guessing both were wearing Shehla Chatoor. No prizes for guessing here – both the ladies looked lovely. (If we still have to pick out a flaw, we de pick the footwear in both )

P.S. Fareshteh’s wearing Kiran Fine Jewellery (KFJ).
