Some of the most accomplished superstars, widely known bombshells, and promising starlets of the current era in the Pakistani showbiz scene are often seen struggling to understand their personal style and dress accordingly.<\/p>\n<p>The handful of red-carpet events, awards ceremonies, and premieres provide ample proof of that. Any major star-studded event is followed by diligent coverage of the red-carpet fashion on display, featuring long lists of female artists dressed in ill-fitted, badly conceptualized, and poorly styled outfits that are often either totally wrong for the occasion or the wearer.<\/p>\n<p>However, if there\u2019s one Pakistani star who always dresses like she could be called anytime for an impromptu photoshoot at the <em>Vogue<\/em> headquarters, it\u2019s model, actor, and fashion designer Kiran Malik.<\/p>\n<p>A simple scroll-through of her Instagram profile will reveal that while she works with some of the most renowned brands present in the local fashion industry, she also often pulls looks from her own personal closet. From designer bags to luxury ready-to-wear pieces, the <em>Zarrar<\/em> actor has curated her wardrobe to include the most coveted luxury pieces that also fit well with her personal style. Here are some of Kiran\u2019s most stunning and recent looks, which reflect different aspects of her style.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Minimalist-monochromatic heaven\/madness <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On a special occasion like Eid, when all our &#8216;For You&#8217; pages are flooded with celebrity OOTD (Outfit of the Day), it was Kiran\u2019s monochrome three-piece by Sadaf Kanwal Fashion that had fashion enthusiasts buzzing with excitement and awe. The lime-green shalwar-kameez suit was unique in both colour and silhouette\u2014with the kameez featuring a halter-style neckline and the shalwar being stitched in a classic but baggy style, complete with perfectly tailored pleats. The plain, matching organza dupatta draped around her neck pulled the entire look together and fit the overall minimal, albeit luxe, aesthetic of the outfit.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Kiran\u2019s preference for minimal and chic, monochrome three-piece sets has been a consistent aspect of her fashion sense, even if it has evolved over the years. Eid 2021 saw the dusky-skinned beauty opt for a fuchsia shalwar-kameez combo and matching dupatta by Mirosh. With hair slicked back in a half-up, half-down, top-knot hairdo, Kiran looked gorgeous in the shimmering and bright raw-silk outfit.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i.tribune.com.pk\/media\/images\/IMG-63971695108171-4\/IMG-63971695108171-4.jpg\" style=\"height:undefinedpx; width:undefinedpx\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The suit included a knee-length, straight-fit kameez and wide-legged, cropped culottes. The small ruffles at the hem of the organza dupatta and the dainty silver embellishments at the neckline added some additional flair and shine to the otherwise minimalistic look.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sarees for every soiree<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Kiran seems to share every Indian and Pakistani woman\u2019s love for sarees, as she is frequently clad in glorious swathes of fabric that further accentuate her tall stature and lean figure. Rather than carrying a saree look in its conventional form, the <em>Pinky Memsaab<\/em> star always goes for a style of drape-and-pin that is unique and adds more dimension and drama to the centuries-old silhouette.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i.tribune.com.pk\/media\/images\/96DD3570-821C-4A56-A186-1AC6E7FA258B1695108174-5\/96DD3570-821C-4A56-A186-1AC6E7FA258B1695108174-5.png\" style=\"height:undefinedpx; width:undefinedpx\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Playing muse to Faraz Manan, Kiran was a sight to behold in a champagne-gold and silver-embellished saree paired with a stylish, halter-neck, red-mid-riff baring blouse with matching silver adornments. Orchestrating a reverse drape on the saree wherein she pulled the pallu from the back\u2014instead of in the classic front-draping style\u2014and draped it over her shoulder, Kiran proved yet again that she is Pakistan\u2019s true fashion icon. She accessorized the look with a mix of gold and silver jewellery, displaying her innovative and out-of-the-box approach to dressing and styling her looks.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i.tribune.com.pk\/media\/images\/IMG-63881695108172-1\/IMG-63881695108172-1.jpg\" style=\"height:undefinedpx; width:undefinedpx\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Attired in a deep-purple saree by Namah, stitched in what may be viewed as a contemporary take on the classic saree, Kiran was the true picture of elegance as personified in the 21st-century fashion landscape. The bustier-style, strapless blouse and the tightly gathered and loosely twisted-up pallu pinned at the shoulder\u2014exposing some skin\u2014introduced a strong element of sultriness to a versatile clothing piece that can be worn as both a modest and sexy garment, depending on how it is styled and draped around the body.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Colossal colour-blocking <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With an Instagram feed that is thoughtfully curated like the Pinterest inspiration board of a certified stylist, replete with beautiful OOTD that appear just as carefully pieced together, Kiran\u2019s style philosophy may be described as perfectly on-trend but also innovative in how she pairs different clothing pieces and styles her outfits in a way to elevate them and set them apart.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i.tribune.com.pk\/media\/images\/Untitled-design---11695109107-0\/Untitled-design---11695109107-0.png\" style=\"height:undefinedpx; width:undefinedpx\"\/><\/p>\n<p>For her more casual, high-streetwear looks, the <em>Money Back Guarantee<\/em> actor often opts for solid-coloured pieces, put together in a way that creates a stark contrast. Employing a colour-blocking technique, Kiran demonstrates that any two colours can be put together and styled to look extremely chic and cohesive. What many would view as a flamboyant way of dressing\u2014pairing two bright or eccentric colours together in a single outfit\u2014ends up looking high-fashion on Kiran\u2019s confident demeanor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async defer crossorigin=\"anonymous\" src=\"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js#xfbml=1&#038;version=v5.0&#038;appId=419051588770002&#038;autoLogAppEvents=1\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With a strong background in fashion, Kiran is one of Pakistan\u2019s most well-dressed stars\u00a0 LAHORE: When it comes to the Pakistani entertainment industry, there are very few female celebrities who consistently slay the fashion game.
