Ayeza Khan glitters in black
In an Instagram post shared on Monday, TV star Ayeza Khan flaunted an all-black ensemble. She draped a sparkling blazer over a silky crop top and paired the look with pants glittering with black sequins, same as the blazer, down to her ankles. She brought the ensemble together with - take a guess - black strappy heels.
Although she served polished elegance with her attire, Ayeza went for a bolder makeup look along her eyes, opting for a cold splash of blue eyeshadow. Nude lipstick and deep contour accentuated the wings and lash lines. The hair was loosely tucked behind the neck, giving the impression of a bob, though some strands let loose.
Ayeza knew the striking statement stood well on its own, as she captioned her post with a simple "A". Fans seemed to agree, as they flooded the comments section with fire emojis. "Killer look," a user wrote. "On the cover of Vogue next?" hoped another.
In sharp contrast last month, the Pyarey Afzal actor pulled out a hot pink festive outfit from over a year ago and posed for an impromptu photoshoot.
"Last night, my stylist found this outfit hanging in my closet, and we realised it's been over a year since I've been waiting for the perfect time to wear it! We said, darn it, let's shoot it!" she wrote. "Sorry that this isn't the latest collection from the brand. Nevertheless, it's magnificent! Can you guys guess the designer?"
The embellished attire was Raqs by Hussain Rehar. The raw silk inner and chooridar pajama were topped with a front open jacket flaunting regal side slits. The v-neckline cut a path down the embroidered length of the upper, dividing the jacket in generously embroidered halves. Two strings of butterflies were knotted down the neckline, accentuating the florid theme.
The attire was paired with an all-sided bordered organza dupatta, which Ayeza draped over one shoulder in some photos. In others, she channelled the haunting bride look by using the lightweight fabric as a sheer veil. Although the article was hot pink like the rest of its counterparts, the creative touches of Ayeza's post gave it a deep red, exhibiting a soul-stirring bridal look razored with elegance.
Ayeza matched a traditional nose chain running along her cheek, over the deep contours of her shadowy makeup. Her eyes were streaked with thick coats of a black liner, reigning atop glittering eyeshadow. Warm blush spread along her cheeks, elevating her sharp features and complementing her dark lipstick.

Ayeza Khan under fire for 'insensitive' statement
Following the murder of 17-year-old influencer Sana Yousaf, Ayeza Khan joined her fellow celebrities and the internet in speaking out about the issue. However, her priorities didn't quite align with what netizens were expecting from her. Instead of condemning the murder or the perpetrator, Ayeza chose to discuss the repercussions of sharing one's personal life on social media. "Let's all understand the pros and cons of social media, especially when it comes to our security. Keep your addresses, car numbers, regular spots, and children's details private," she wrote. "It's not safe. It's just not safe. Share less. Times have changed," she emphasised. "Recognise that the audience you have today isn't the one you personally chose. It's from all over the world." The Meray Paas Tum Ho actor believes that it is one's own responsibility to guard what they put out in the digital world. "Let's take responsibility for what we share," she said. Adding a prayer, she concluded, "May Allah protect us all and keep us in good company. Ameen." 'Tone deaf much?' Although Ayeza's sentiments stemmed from a place of concern for the detrimental impact of social media on one's life, netizens called out her statement for lacking sensitivity and veering towards victim blaming. "Someone lost their life because some man had a similar toxic ideology as the roles your husband plays in every single drama he stars in, and your main takeaway is 'let's protect ourselves'? Tone deaf much?" an Instagram user questioned. The user didn't mince their words, urging Ayeza to tell her actor-husband Danish Taimoor to stop romanticising toxic masculinity in his drama serials and have empathy for the family who lost their young girl. "You should at least have some form of the humanity that you were preaching a few weeks ago, telling others to not victim blame," the user continued. "You seriously need to check yourself first and then hire a decent PR team because every statement you make is the most ridiculous, tone-deaf, and insensitive thing ever." A different netizen suggested that the Humraaz actor is hypocritical for having an active Instagram account and still putting out such statements. "While your whole life is on your social media account, you still have the guts to shape cold-blooded murder into a lack of self-protection. Please come out of the fancy clothes and glamorous shoots. The victim was not at fault at all. Maybe tell your dear husband to not choose scripts like he does all the time and stop normalising abuse on screens." Other criticism ranged from speaking out against male privilege to hoping to de-platform celebrities who perpetuate harmful ideas that influence the wrong minds. Many argued that the problem is not social media but the entitlement that criminals have to commit such heinous crimes without the fear of being watched or punished. As per the BBC, a 22-year-old man confessed to murdering Sana after being arrested. Authorities believe that Umar Hayat murdered the influencer at her home in Islamabad after she rejected his "offers of friendship". They informed the BBC that he broke into her house, fired two shots, and fled with her phone. Sana's family gathered in Chitral for her burial. Her father, Syed Yousaf Hassan, shared that she was his only daughter a "very brave" one at that. He added that she had never mentioned Umar or reported any threatening behaviour before her life was taken on Monday.

Brazil's funk star's arrest sparks censorship debate
The arrest of a popular funk singer in Brazil on suspicion of glorifying a powerful crime gang has revived a long-standing debate over the criminalisation of a genre born in Rio de Janeiro's gritty favelas, or slums. Unlike its US namesake, which was popularised by James Brown, Rio funk borrows more from hip-hop, blended with samba and other Brazilian rhythms. The lyrics, seen by many as celebrating favela drug lords, have repeatedly led to calls for songs to be censored. Last week, MC Poze do Rodo, one of the genre's best-known artists with 16 million followers on Instagram, was arrested on charges of glorifying crime and having links to Comando Vermelho (CV), one of Brazil's biggest gangs. The police argue that Poze's music "clearly condones" drug trafficking and illegal use of firearms and point to concerts held "exclusively in areas dominated by CV, with a notable presence of traffickers armed with high-calibre weapons." After five days in preventive custody, the 26-year-old singer was released on Tuesday to a rapturous welcome from waiting fans, who swarmed his car in a column of motorbikes. Speaking afterwards, the singer claimed he was the victim of police discrimination. "Rio de Janeiro police don't like me... because I'm black? Because I'm from a favela?" Marlon Brendon Coelho Couto was born in the favela of Rodo, one of the biggest in western Rio. He has admitted to selling drugs in his youth but says that he abandoned crime to devote himself to music. Police footage of his arrest at his current home in the upmarket Recreio dos Bandeirantes district, cuffed and shirtless, surrounded by heavily armed officers, caused an outcry among his fans. Fellow musicians took part in a campaign for his release, organised by his wife, influencer Viviane Noronha, on the grounds that "funk singers are not criminals." The debate surrounding funk's role in crime mirrors long-standing discussions in the United States over the links between rap and violence in Black communities. Danilo Cymrot, a doctor in criminology at the University of Sao Paulo, pointed to a "grey area" in the definition of glorification of violence, relating to artistic content. "The artist doesn't necessarily agree with his lyrics," Cymrot, author of a book about Rio funk, said. He added that "oftentimes, the police and the judiciary have a hard time understanding funk as a work of art." As a result, he said, the artist's origins are often used to determine whether he condones violence. "It's less the message itself and more who is singing it."
