Who won the red carpet style war during Balu Mahi's promotions?

If there's one thing that Balu Mahi has going for it, it's a really good-looking cast.

Ainy Jaffri Rahman and Sadaf Kanwal pretty much lit up the screen whenever they appeared, but is that true for their red carpet appearances too?

Styling for film premieres and promotions can be a tricky affair — you want to look en vogue without going overboard. However, often times, a celeb's look also alludes to their character in the film; hence, balance is hard to find.

We take a look at the sartorial choices of Ainy and Sadaf at their film's promotions. Let the games begin:

Round one

Ainy's Misha Lakhani outfit looks a little awkward to us. The wrap top is unflattering on the star and doesn't show off her petite figure. The tulip shalwar is no less -- loose on loose seldom works, and this is a total miss. The colours don't pair well together either.

Sadaf seems like she's in her element in this Ania Fawad ensemble. Her look is minimalist yet perfectly balanced. The dusty pink cape coat is a perfect addition to her casual white tee and dark skinnies. We're loving the braid too!

Winner: Sadaf

Round two

Ainy's Shehla Chatoor ensemble has a lot going on and we aren't fawning over the slits in the sleeves. This kimono inspired style didn't win us over.

White is Sadaf's colour, but this Sana Safinaz outfit fails to impress only owing to the ruffles. Had the blouse been a simple off-shoulder she would've looked chic. Love the pants. Hate the ruffle baby.

Winner: Tie

Round three

Ainy goes desi-wedding in this Rema & Shehrbano attire. We feel it could work for a morning engagement party but for a film's promotions? Not really...

Sadaf's Muse Luxe is formal yet comfortable. Again, something that's better suited for a wedding but the velvet and minimal embellishments make it work.

Winner: Sadaf

Round four

Ainy plays it safe again in this military style jacket with side swept hair, although we like how she jazzed up the look with bright lips and minimal accessories.

Sadaf rocks this embroidered Sania Maskatiya blazer and her sleek hair with center parting giving her an edgy look. She rocked the statement piece by keeping everything else muted.

Winner: Sadaf

Round five

Ainy's ivory side-slit column dress by Faraz Manan with the netted cape screams goddess. There are very few things we'd change about this look but Ainy carried it off effortlessly.

Sadaf wears an Anaya dress which... we're still confused about. The dress resembles a paper tulip and honestly, was quite a risky choice. It doesn't do justice to the model.

Winner: Ainy

So who won?

Sadaf Kanwal!
