Ever since Sonya Hussyn entered the entertainment fraternity six years ago, she's been making a name for herself in the industry, slowly but steadily.

Her performances in dramas such as Mein Hari Piya and Nazo were applauded and the actress will next be seen in the upcoming pre-Partition drama, Aangan alongside Ahsan Khan, Mawra Hocane, Sajal Aly and Ahad Raza Mir to name a few.

With her career flourishing, she's also making headway as a style icon. She caught our eye with her deconstructed monochrome sari at the Hum Style Awards this year and so naturally, we started doing some digging.

Here are some of her style mantras:

Turns out, she's big on the classic black and white combo

Timeless, elegant and back to basics.

She loves a good off-shoulder top...

Who wouldn't with toned shoulders like that?

...and one-shoulder tops

We honestly thought these were out of fashion but she's making them work. Time to raid the closet and find tops from five years ago!

When in doubt, she reaches for red

We can see why!

She's obviously a firm believer in keeping things minimalist

She really lets her clothes do the talking; clean cuts, no fuss jewellery, no OTT accessories.

But every so often, she'll rock some statement bling

A little ear candy never hurts!

And experiment with her hair

She's big on her signature sunnies

And wears them all the time.
