Mahira Khan steals the show at Cannes in old-world glamour

Mahira Khan steals the show at Cannes in old-world glamour

And would you believe it, her actual dress was stuck in customs and this was an alternative!
15 May, 2018

Less is more and Mahira Khan knows it.

The Pakistani star walked the red carpet at Cannes and she was a vision in an Alberta Ferretti number and Chopard jewels. The black dress hugged her in all the right places and showed off her sleek frame, while the diamonds were the cherry on top - need oomph?

Oh and if you thought she was a bundle of nerves before the event, here is proof that she was totally chillin', casually sippin' on some tea before hitting the red carpet... because pssshh the question is, is Cannes ready for Mahira?

Mahira, super calm and collected before the event.

We're pretty sure she's worth at least a million in this... okay maybe that's a bit of a stretch.

Guess who she met? Sonam Kapoor! The Bollywood diva who was super excited to meet the Raees star at Cannes.

If you were following the Verna actor through her Cannes journey on social media, you'd know that she had a bit of a fashion emergency last minute. Mahira shared a video the night before the event saying that her dress was stuck in customs. Unfortunately she never got it in time, BUT she still rocked the black ensemble like it was made for her.

The same day Mahira attended the Chopard party in a fuchsia sequined Nicolas Jebran dress with a puffy one-shoulder.

We're on the fence about this one. Thoughts?

Mahira was invited to Cannes as the first official spokesperson for L’Oréal Paris Pakistan (Hair Care) and attended the premiere of Spike Lee's BlacKkKlansman.
