Rewarding actors, musicians, models and fashion moguls for their hard work throughout the year, the 19th LUX Style Awards announced its winners in Karachi today.

In LSA’s efforts to ensure the safety of the nominees, juries, auditors and organisers, this was the first time in the nineteen year history of the body that the entire judging and awarding process was conducted online.

In a first for LSA, the winners in the categories of Fashion, Film, Music and TV were also announced ahead of the virtually recorded ceremony, which is to be shown online next week.

Two Lifetime Achievement Awards were announced as well. Anwar Maqsood, revered compere, writer and host par-excellence, was conferred the Unilever Chairman’s Lifetime Achievement Award. The Lifetime Achievement Award in Fashion was awarded to photojournalist and photographer Tapu Javeri.
