It’s the biggest award show in Pakistan — and arguably the most controversial.

The Lux Style Awards is a night of honouring the big achievers in Pakistan’s fashion, film, TV and music industries.

Each year, competition intensifies as the industries grow and new entrants find some elbow room on a red carpet that is crowded by old (and young) favourites. While the red carpet was nothing to write home about, the award show itself was full of surprises (in more ways than one).
