Lux celebrated their 20th anniversary in Karachi. The award ceremony was held last Saturday, and the location was kept hidden until the last minute for security concerns and to deter gate crashers. The event of Lux Style Awards was a combination of tradition and modernity, with fully-vaccinated nominees in attendance. Mansha Pasha, Mehwish Hayat, Ahmed Ali Butt, and Ahsan Khan hosted the event.
Everything was done in a proper approach for television viewers, whether it was Bilal Maqsood’s new LSA anthem with Aima Baig, Uzair Jaswal, Natasha Baig, and Young Stunners, or Asim Azhar’s tribute to the recently departed Farhad Humayun.
The small audience at the SOP-compliant event was entertained by Tabish Hashmi’s comedy, but the majority of those in attendance were moved to tears when a tribute was paid to the late Haseena Moin, and Lifetime Achievement Awards were given to legendary singer Farida Khanum and designer Banto Kazmi for their invaluable contributions to music and fashion.
