LSA 2016 : Here's what Pakistani celebrities should and shouldn't wear tonight
We’ve always loved the Lux Style Awards (LSA) red carpet!
It’s where the country’s most celebrated stars gather, swathed in designer-wear and several layers of make-up. They pose for the cameras, pout for selfies and meet and greet each other, filling the air with a consistent tirade of ‘jaani’ and ‘sweety’. The ‘it’ girls and the up-and-comings, the designers and the models, the friends, the enemies, the frenemies … they all flit to the LSA’s star-studded realm.
Joining them are fans and assortment of seedy, leery men that have now become an unfortunate part of every mainstream event.
Nevertheless, the LSA’s are riveting affairs; the awards-ceremony always entertains, controversies inevitably follow the results and there’s a definite buzz about the red carpet. After all, these are our answer to the Oscars. It’s where we crane our necks to see who’s wearing what, who’s best dressed and who’s not.
Then again, red carpets really aren’t what they used to be. Case in point, the HUM Awards’ red carpet from a few months ago where the ‘designer-wear’ was nothing short of bawdy shaadi-wear, accessorized with shiny golden jewelry.
