such lavish expenditures were funded by taxpayer money
Maryam Nawaz’s luxurious outfits at her nephew’s recent wedding festivities have become a subject of public interest.
The recent wedding festivities of Zayd Hussain, grandson of former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, have captured attention.
They are sparking online debate not just for the grandeur of the events but for Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz’s expensive outfits.
Known for her impeccable fashion sense, Maryam’s ensembles at the celebrations have become a hot topic, sparking both admiration and controversy.
At one of the wedding events, Maryam donned an elegant purple trouser suit from the Pakistani brand Muse Luxe.
The Chief Minister accessorised the outfit with a green clutch and gold jewellery.
The dress, reportedly priced at PKR 360,000 (£1,000), was widely praised on social media for its sophistication.
Pictures of Maryam, her hands adorned with henna and her accessories perfectly complementing her look quickly went viral.
Her daughter, Mahnoor Safdar, also wore a Muse Luxe outfit, similar in style but in a delicate light pink shade.
This created a coordinated yet distinct look for the mother-daughter duo.
For the Nikkah ceremony, Maryam chose an extravagant red and gold ensemble by renowned Indian designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee.
The outfit, part of the designer’s ‘Heritage Bridal’ collection, reportedly cost PKR 1.62 million (£4,500).
This choice further highlighted her penchant for luxurious fashion, making her the centre of attention at the event.
While many admired Maryam Nawaz’s style, her extravagant wardrobe also drew significant backlash.
Critics pointed to the ongoing economic crisis in Pakistan, with rising inflation and widespread poverty.
They accused her of being out of touch with the struggles of the general public.
Some claimed that such lavish expenditures were funded by taxpayer money, fuelling public outrage.
Comments on social media about her expensive attire contrasted with claims made in April 2024, by Punjab’s Minister of Information Azma Bukhari.
Azma stated that Maryam wore outfits costing as little as PKR 500 to 800 (£1.40 to £2.25).
She attributed Maryam’s choices to her elder sister’s design expertise.
Netizens are now mocking these claims, questioning the stark disparity between those statements and her current wardrobe.
Amid the criticism, Maryam’s supporters emphasised her right to personal style.
However, the narrative surrounding her fashion continues to polarise public opinion, reflecting the larger debate on Pakistan’s privileged political elite.
As her nephew’s wedding festivities draw to a close, the focus on Maryam Nawaz’s wardrobe underscores the intersection of politics and personal presentation.
