Mahira Khan becomes 1st Pakistani to represent L’Oreal Pakistan

Mahira Khan became the first Pakistani to represent L’Oréal Pakistan and walk down the illustrious red carpet at 71st Cannes Film Festival 2018
The iconic moment proved to be a cause of immense joy for our nation, but of course, it also put an incredible amount of pressure on the actress, for she had to join the many leading ladies of L’Oréal Paris and look amazing while at it. Cannes, in our part of the world perhaps, attracts more attention for the breathtaking red carpet appearances it invites every year, particularly from Aishwarya Rai, Sonam Kapoor, and now Deepika Padukone.
During her time at Cannes, Mahira was introduced to the coveted L’Oréal Paris global make-up and hair styling team of Stephane Lancien and visited the L’Oréal Paris studio in Cannes to shoot video segments for the global giant.
She also attended photo calls at the iconic Martinez Beach as well as got official beauty portraits done by renowned French photographer Flavien Prioreau. The Humsafar star touched down in a baby pink top and skirt paired with black shades and heels.
Those who feel she should have worn more eastern outfits should keep the same expectations from her as they do from Bollywood and Hollywood beauties there. The VJ-turned-actress was representing Pakistan, yes, but as the brand ambassador of an international brand at an international venue. Thus, I somewhat agree with her choices, but could she have done better with what she chose, or souped up her sartorial decisions altogether? Absolutely! Credit (or blame) for her choices goes to Mahira’s stylist Amar Faiz. In fact, all of her styling team was of Pakistani origin and flew in to Cannes especially, including the stylist from Oslo, Norway, the make-up artist from London and the photographer from New York.
In one of her first appearances, the lady in question was snapped in a dove grey halter crop top paired with breezy pleated palazzo pants and a floral Lawn opera shrug by Élan along with strappy nude sandals and Zohra Rahman earrings. She wore her hair in a slick bun and let her dewy skin glow in the sun. Most of the peeps back home lauded this look, as she struck a pose looking like a true beauty. She was next seen in a Menahel & Mehreen’s pastel pink sari adorned with silver embroidery and pleated hemline worn with an embellished strappy blouse. Mahira also wore a pair of beautiful diamond-studded emerald earrings by Aliel Jewellers.
