Updated 03 Aug, 2016

The 15th Lux Style Awards (LSAs) are finally all set to take place tonight at the Expo Centre in Karachi — with a promise of glitz, glam, the whole shebang.

The nominations may feel a bit dated (yep, Sadqay Tumharay is still doing the rounds) but here's hoping the LSAs are able to redeem themselves with a star-studded red carpet and an event that pulls out all stops and is high on entertainment.

We give you the lowdown in real time on who showed up, who wore what and most importantly, who won what.


END OF LIVE UPDATES


7.00am

As tired as they may have been after a hectic week, they were not going to miss out on the LSA after party!


4.30am

And the night (morning, rather) ended on a high note with Mahira and Sheheryar Munawar giving everybody a run for their money with their Shakar Wandaan dance.

And the show ends with a bang #MahiraKhan & #SheryarMunawar dances on #ShakarWadaanRe #LSA2016 #luxstyleawards✨

A video posted by Lace & Scotch (@lacescotch) on

We're reminiscing the Ho Mann Jahaan days seeing this couple together!


4.15am

And Humayun swept the award for Best Actor (Film) for JPNA. Shocker? Somewhat. Guess his comic role won the hearts of the jury!

Up against the actor were Adnan Sarwar for Shah, Danish Taimoor for Wrong No., Hameed Sheikh for Moor and Sarmad Sultan Khoosat for Manto.

Shocking how Manto didn't win a single award at the LSAs this year.


4.00am

Jamshed Mehmood Raza graciously accepted his award for Best Film Director for Moor.

Other nominees were, Adnan Sarwar for Shah, Momina Duraid & Shahzad Kashmiri for Bin Roye, Nadeem baig for Jawani Phir Nahi Ani and Sarmad Sultan Khoosat for Manto.


3.50am

Surprise, surprise! Moor takes home the Best Film award.

The pool of nominees in this category included, Manto, Jawani Phir Nahi Ani, Shah, Wrong No..


3.45am

Much like Nabila's Best Makeup Artist win, Mahira's win for Best Actress (Film) was too, a no-brainer. Congrats to this beauty for her two big wins tonight!

#MahiraKhan seems to have won hearts everywhere. She won best actress (TV) and also best dressed! ✨💗 #lovepakfashion

A photo posted by Love Pak Fashion (@lovepakfashion) on

She beat Mehwish Hayat for Jawani Phir Nahi Ani, Samia Mumtaz for Moor, Sania Saeed for Manto and Sohai Abro for Wrong No. to the punch.


3.40am

These thumkas were what we wanted to see in Ballay Ballay (Bin Roye), Mahira! Finally, some energy!

#MahiraKhan #HumayunSaeed perform on #BinRoye #TereBina #LSA2016 #happeningnow #talkingpointpr #trendinginsocial

A video posted by Trendinginsocial.com (@trendinginsocial) on

And she's even pulled in her co-star Humayun Saeed!


3.39am

Yes, we know you predicted it. Rahat Fateh Ali Khan won the Best Singer (Male) - Film award for Teray Bina Jeena OST Bin Roye.

Other contenders were, Ali Noor & Ali Humza OST Karachi Se Lahore, Ali Sethi for Aah Ko Chahiye OST Manto, Javed Bashir for Talabgaar OST Moor and Rahim Shah for Gul Bashri OST Moor.


3.37

We have a tie for Best Singer (Female) - Film, folks! The two winners are Abida Parveen for Maula Maula OST Bin Roye and Zeb Bangesh for Kya Hoga OST Manto.

Here are the other nominees in the category: Meesha Shafi for Eva OST Moor, Harshdeep Kaur for Ballay Ballay OST Bin Roye, Zarrish for Rabbi Ralli OST Karachi Se Lahore.


3.35am

Fawad Khan may have been late to the event but he made sure he got his red carpet pictures taken!

Cant get enough of him!! #LSA2016 #luxstyleawards2016 #FawadKhan

3.20am

Javed Sheikh won Best Supporting Actor (Film) for his comic role in Jawani Phir Nahi Ani. Bravo, sir! These young boys got nothing on you.

Nominees also included, Ali Safina for Jalaibee, Shaz Khan for Moor, Wasay Chaudhry for Jawani Phir Nahi Ani, Yasir Hussain for Karachi Se Lahore and Ahmed Ali Butt for Jawani Phir Nahi Ani.


3.15am

Ayesha Khan won Best Supporting Actress (Film) for Jawani Phir Nahi Ani. We must admit, it was a tough win for the actor, especially against Nimra Bucha for Manto.

She was up against, Armeena Rana Khan for Bin Roye, Nimra Bucha for Manto, Sarwat Gillani for Jawani Phir Nahi Ani and Sohai Ali Abro for Jawani Phir Nahi Ani

Woah, a total of three nominations from JPNA!


2.50am

Ali Zafar pays an ode to all the brave souls who lost their lives this year and the last, including our very own legendary qawwal Amjad Sabri. He is joined by Ali Sethi on stage for a tribute to the slain singer.

The rockstar plans to donate 50% of his payment to the Edhi foundation.

Celebs took to the stage to honour the great Amjad Sabri.

Sabri's brothers and sons were then called on stage and presented with a Lifetime Achievement award in honour of the qawwal. Can't believe he's not with us anymore.


2.40am

Nilofer Shahid has just been presented with the Lifetime Achievement Award. She dedicated her award to the amazing women of Pakistan, Edhi sahab and our country.

Now that's admirable!


2.34am

Booya! Another one on the money as Hasnain Lehri wins Model of the Year (Male). Aren't we getting good at this?

This brooding hottie beat Aimal Khan, Jahan -e- Khalid, Shahzad Noor and Waleed Khaild.


2.30am

But.. but.. but.. Amna Babar? Guess it's Fouzia Aman's year as she bags Model of the Year (Female). Strangely, Sadaf Kanwal is way too happy for her... hmmm...

She won against Amna Babar, Nooray Bhatti, Rabia Butt and Sadaf Kanwal.


2.27am

Best Fashion Photographer award goes to Abdullah Haris, because... have you seen his phenomenal photography for Pepe Jeans? Enough said.

Nominees also included, Ayaz Anis, Guddu Shani, Rizwan ul Haq and Shahbaz Shazi.


2.25am

And this was a no-brainer, Best Hair and Make-up Artist went to Nabila, making it her 10th LSA win. Damn girl! Where does she put all those accolades? Bet she has a separate room solely for her awards. Yeah, definitely.

Her contenders were Hannan Siddique, Omayr Waqar, Raana Khan and Shammal Qureshi for Toni & Guy (North Pakistan).


2.15am

Fawad takes to the stage with our man Ahmed Ali Butt, clearly the JPNA actor has become a favourite. Permanent host for all award shows now, maybe?


2.00am

Best Emerging Talent went to photographer Alee Hassan!

Other nominees in the category were, Ammara Khan (Designer), Anum Malik (Model), Hira Shah (Model) and Zara Abid (Model).


1.57am

Sohai Ali Abro turns up the heat, again! She did admit she loves to dance, and we love watching her on stage.

Whether she has to bust some serious thumkas or do a slow dance on Kapoor & Son's Bolna, this woman can work wonders.


1.55am

Best Menswear Designer award went to Amir Adnan. Though we must admit, we feel cheated, we were really leaning towards Omar Farooq for Republic for the win tonight.

The list of nominees included: Ahmed Bham, Hassan Sheheryar Yasin, Nauman Arfeen and Omar Farooq for Republic.


1.50am

One after the other! Faraz Manan wins yet again, this time for Achievement in Fashion Design - Bridal! Can't say he isn't deserving, his designs are superb!

He beat Ali Xeeshan, Elan (a BIG deal!), Shehla Chatoor and The House of Kamiar Rokni.


1.45am

Generation won the award for Achievement in Fashion Design - Pret. We want to say 'told ya so' to all our readers, but we'll just sit here with a smug look on our faces.

Here are the other contenders, Coco by Zara Shahjahan, Daaman, Sana Safinaz and Sapphire.

Psst, told ya so!


1.40am

Shamaeel Ansari may have gotten the least amount of votes in our poll, but the judges saw what we probably didn't which is why she bagged the Achievement in Fashion Design - Luxury Pret award.

And boy, was her competition tough: Mahgul, Misha Lakhani, Muse and Sania Maskatiya.


1.35am

On to fashion. So Faraz Manan won Achievement in Fashion Design - Lawn. We were rooting for Elan, oh well...

Faraz Manan takes the trophy home for his kickass lawn collection! #happeningnow #LSA2016

A photo posted by IMAGES (@dawn_images) on

Nominees included, Elan, Sana Safinaz, Sania Maskatiya and Zara Shahjahan.


1.30am

Oh look who's here! The party starter! Fawad Khan is finally at the LSAs even if he is fashionably late (a bit too late if you ask us!).


1.20am

Are the sirens on? Because there sure is fire up on that stage with Farhan Saeed stripping down to a vest.

This couple is inseparable. Check out Urwa and Farhan's dance:

And again:

From break dancing to ballroom waltz, these two are slaying it on the floor! #LSA2016 #happeningnow

A video posted by IMAGES (@dawn_images) on

No, she is (hopefully) not going to slip on stage this year.


1.17am

Okay so Mahira Khan and Hamza Ali Abbasi got the Best Dressed award. Fine... maybe we were wrong about vests. They could.. maybe.. be a thing after all.


1.15am

Ali Zafar wins Song of the Year for Rockstar, because he's a rockstar (duh!) and he deserved it! You don't mess with those vocals, sir.

His acceptance speech though, is awesome.

These guys didn't stand a chance against Ali: Jogiya by Javed Bashir, Sarak Sarak by Mai Dhai Band, Shakar Wandaan by Asrar Shah and Tamasha by Khumariyaan.


1.10am

Noori's first ever LSA! Well, those 10 years of hard work finally paid off as the team takes home Album of the Year award for Begum Gul Bakaoli Sarfarosh. Truly well deserved!

#Noori's first #LSA win! #AlbumOfTheYearAward!

They were up against Bahadur Yaar Jung by E Sharp, Ismail ka Urdu Sheher by Zohaib Kazi, Saturday Night Killing Machine by Adil Omar and Talal Qureshi and Till the End of Time by Natasha Humera Ejaz


1.05am

Just like we predicted, Best Music Video Director goes to Salman Noorani for Mariam by Mooroo. High-five, readers, we can easily be the judges for next year's LSAs, what say?

Other nominees were Adil Omar for Nighat & Paras by Adil Omar & Talal Qureshi, Kamal Khan for Wake Up/Jaago by Zohaib Kazi, Nadir Shehzad Khan for Baaghi by Sikandar Ka Mandar and Natasha Humera Ejaz & Shahrukh Khurshid for Khwab by Natasha Humera Ejaz.


1.00am

Kamiar Rokni just announced Slowspin as the Best Emerging Talent (Singer). Woot woot!

Here's a list of the other nominees in the category, Ali Suhail, Mehdi Maloof, SomeWhatSuper and The Tamashbeens.


12.50am

Butt wants to host the LSAs with Mawra Hocane, but it looks like he may just be regretting that decision now!


12.47am

Ladies, to the front! Can you spot all the stars in this photo?

Who run the world? Girls!! 👀❤️💃🏼🙅🏼 #LSA2016 #happeningnow

A photo posted by IMAGES (@dawn_images) on


12.45am

Did he dare call the most hated woman on TV, a.k.a Jeena? We love Ayesha Khan though, Jeena... eh, not so much.

The most hated woman aka Jeena! We love you though #AyeshaKhan 😘 #LSA2016

A photo posted by IMAGES (@dawn_images) on


12.41am

Because Butt HAD to call the Diyar-e-Dil duo on stage and then have them sing with helium voices? What is happening here?


12.39am

Next up, Humayun Saeed.

His find inside the box, however, is a Lux bar, which Butt asks him to sell in his Mc Dreamy style. Not surprisingly, Humayun Saeed calls his best bud, Vasay Chaudhry to get romantic with.


12.37am

Who says Butt he can't be serious and funny, all the same.

He called Hamza Ali Abbasi on stage and said: We love Hamza for speaking the truth. Then asked the Pyarey Afzal actor to reach inside the box, and guess what he pulled out? A tape. Hamza aptly put it on his mouth and said, "Thank-you for banning me from the LSA."

Batt says we love Hamza Ali Abbasi for speaking the truth -- hear hear! #happeningnow #LSA2016

A photo posted by IMAGES (@dawn_images) on

Kudos. Well played, boys. Well played.


12.35am

Trust this funnyman to crack up the audience. Ahmed Ali Butt takes to the stage in a blind fold and tries to sniff out the stars! What a riot this guys is, says, "From Meera to Resham to Mahira and now Fawad, Lux has gone far... we prepared actors... for India!"


12.10am

Guess who's firing up the dance floor? The one and only Sohai Ali Abro!

Werk it girl! 👀🔥🙌🏼💃🏼 #SohaiAbro #happeningnow #LSA2016

Loving her energy.

12.05am

And Best TV Play went to Diyar-e-Dil, Sultana Siddiqui accepted the award on behalf of Momina Duraid.

Mohabbat Aag Si, Muqaddas, Rang Lagaa and Sadqay Tumhare had no chance against the much-loved Maya Ali-Osman Khalid Butt starrer.


12.00am

Anjum Shahzad grabs his Best TV Director win for Rang Laaga.

Sorry Aamir Yousuf for Aap ki Kaneez, Ehteshamuddin for Sadqay Tumhare, Haseeb Hassan for Diyar-e-Dil and Sabiha Sumar for Khuda Dekh Raha Hai, this one was not for you.


11.58pm

Faysal Qureshi won Best Actor (TV) for Rang Laaga. Sorry readers, looks like we got this one right!

Although we must admit, he had tough competition with Osman Khalid Butt for Diyar-e-Dil, Adnan Malik for Sadqay Tumhare, Noman Ijaz for Zinda Dargor and Noor Hassan for Muqaddas up against him.


11.55pm

And wouldn't you know it, Mahira Khan wins Best Actress (TV) for Sadqay Tumhare and dedicated her award to her father.

Her dad's in attendance at the awards. However, in the sea of people, she doesn't know where he's sitting. How cute is her dad, even the audience can't stop going 'awww'. Moral support ftw!

For a minute we thought Mahira was going to have a Jennifer Lawrence moment on stage! Phew, quick save!

Mahira's acceptance speech! 🙌🏼😍💕🏆 #LSAwinners

A video posted by IMAGES (@dawn_images) on


11.50pm

And the award for Best Writer (TV) goes to Khalil-ur-Rehman for Sadqay Tumhare.

Would you believe Ali Zafar praised Khalil ur Rehman and then asked him to write something for the singer. Gotta love the guy for his sense of humour!

Khalil-ur-Rehman bags the award for Best Writer for #SadqayTumharay! #LSA2016 #happeningnow

A photo posted by IMAGES (@dawn_images) on

He beat Adeel Razzaq for Muqaddas, Farhat Ishtiaq for Diyar-e-Dil, Imran Nazir for Mohabbat Aag Si and Sana Fahad for Rang Laaga.


11.45pm

Zeb Bangash just won the award for Best OST (TV) for Diyar-e-Dil. Pretty sure our readers are happy with this win.

Other nominees in this category were Shafqat Amanat Ali, Ahmed Jahanzeb, Bushra Bilal and Shafqat Salamat Ali & Beena Khan.


11.40pm

These boys aren't going to go easy. They just joked that the only hits Mahira ever gave were her ads. But she's a good sport about it, just look at her blushing.


11.29pm

Yasir Hussain and Ali Zafar take the stage as hosts for the night. We're sure they're winning hearts of all the girls there with their charm and charisma.


11.00pm

Ali Zafar is in the house to get the party started! All he needs is a guitar and a mic and we're all ears.

And Ali Zafar's on stage, ready to get this party started! #LSA2016 #performancesstartingwithabang

10.55pm

Did our heart just do a back-flip? Because Shahroz Sabzwari just upped the ante by a thousand notches! Where's his wife though? Missing those dimples, Syra Shahroz.


10.53pm

Usually we like Mawra's quirky style, but this dress is a bit of a let down. Too old for the young starlet. And the hair? A 'sweety, no', moment if you ask us.

Attitude? Check. Fiery hot dress? Check. Sultry look? Double Check.

If it were up to us, she'd go home with the Model of the Year award tonight,


10.40pm

Our hearts are rooting for this hottie to take home the award tonight for Diyar-e-Dil, what we're not rooting for, is this jacket. Fashion faux pas


10.35pm

Too hot to handle! Mahira Khan slaying tonight... not like that's a surprise tbh.

A glimpse of behind-the-scenes.

Ushna Shah looking radiant as ever, thanks to team Nabila!


9.45pm

Rabia Butt and HSY know how to up the ante when it comes to fashion.


9.42pm

The host for the night in this beautiful Tena Durrani number. Quick question: Didn't Ayesha Omar sport the same hairstyle at last year's LSAs? There's no denying that it does suit her!


9.40pm

Because the red carpet is all about glam. Rabia Butt and Ayesha Omar didn't think twice before striking a pose.

Girl power! 👊🏼 Rabia Butt and Ayesha Omar strike a pose 😍👏🏼🔥📸 #LSA2016

Don't forget Ayesha Omar's Giuseppe Zanotti heels! They're giving us shoe envy!

9.30pm

Did our very own Alia Bhatt aka model Parisheh James just wear a menu to the LSAs? We love burgers, but not on our clothes.

This does not look like a Nomi Ansari from anywhere. Major let down.


9.24pm

Sorry Ahmed Ali Butt, it ain't gonna be about you tonight, seems like all eyes will be on your beautiful wife Ayesha Khan whistles.


9.20pm

Guess we were wrong about those vests! As always, Hamza Ali Abbasi stays true to himself and opts for a simple shalwar kameez and a vest to take it up a notch.


9.15pm

Ayesha Fazli givin' us the cold shoulder in Saira Shakira. Her dress is blue, just by the way. Yeah, we confused it for black too.

Ayesha Fazli givin' us the cold shoulder in #SairaShakira 👌🏼💕 #LSA2016

9.10pm

Sari? And this one? Really Mathira? We love the Mansoor Akram bling, but come on, we were hoping you'd go for a better outfit.


9.00pm

Oh.Hot.Damn. Ayesha Omar has entered the building, we repeat, Ayesha Omar has entered the building, folks!!


8.55pm

Errr pjs may be in fashion, but Ali Xeeshan cannot work them even if his life depended on it. Sorry, but only Deepika Padukone can rock this trend like nobody's business.


8.50pm

Somebody call 911, we've got the Rockstar duo ready to drop some major couple envy at the LSAs.

How adorbs are these guys?

8.44pm

Lookie! The model we're cheering for, Hasnain Lehri in the house wearing Muse tonight.
