Let Mahira Khan be your guide on how to elevate a simple look with subtle flower power. In a photo dump shared on Instagram, the Love Guru star donned an oversized, white button-up shirt that had only a fleck of colour - a tiny red flower just below the collar. She paired the casual top with a pair of blue jeans.
Mahira showed us two ways of owning the minimal look. In some photos, she leaned into the lazy summer vibes, relaxing on a bed with her shirt rumpled and her hair fashionably unkempt. In the other photos, she struck practiced poses in front of the mirror, with her hair neatly tied back, her waterline thick with kohl, and sturdy golden earrings hanging parallel to her neck.
Code-switching mid-word in the caption, she spelled out the outfit's appeal for those still confused: "Phool-ing in the flower shirt."
The Humsafar actor carried the spam over to Instagram Stories, where she shared yet another shot in her baggy shirt paired with the stylish but messy hair.
Phool by Yawar shared the shoot on their Instagram account, as the designer Yawar Iqbal penned a heartfelt note for Mahira. Recalling the actor's bearing from before she began her career, Yawar wrote, "She was in skinny jeans and long boots with her million dollar-charm and girl-next-door naivety - a blend we never saw before. We all witnessed a star."
The artist continued, "She was on every mood board I made and every advertisement I imagined. She is and will remain the biggest star in the region and beyond, not just for her talent or beauty but also for her generosity of spirit. She is a star unlike any we've seen before because she's got the gift to make everyone and everything feel special, even a humble white shirt with a tiny flower."
Actor Zara Noor Abbas and makeup artist Babar Zaheer were among the admirers in Mahira's comments section. "How pretty," Zara wrote, sending hearts and adding a crown for the screen queen. Meanwhile, Babar led with fire emojis before teasing Mahira's fans some more, "So hot. Should I post the behind-the-scenes videos from these selfies?"
While greeting Babar's offer with an enthusiastic response, fans also came in clutch with fitting flowery compliments. "I love this flower and the shirt with the flower as well," one user wrote, while another said, "Who's going to look at the flower on the shirt when you're the whole bouquet?"
