The Red Carpet was graced by the likes of all the best of Pakistan’s TV, music and fashion industries. A bearded, long-haired Fawad Khan arrived with his wife in a dapper black suit and open white collared shirt.

White seemed to be the colour of the night for the ladies at LSA. Actress Aamina Sheikh wore a classy white backless dress, designed by Nabila. Mathira donned a Grecian style white dress with gold straps. Mehvish Hayat looked absolutely stunning in a white following dress with silver embellishments.

Meera broke the trend, opting instead for a metallic gold gown.
