Mahira Khan recently elevated her distinctive allure with a stunning photoshoot in Dubai, styled by Maneka Harisinghani. She adopted a bold yet ethereal appearance against Dubai’s dynamic backdrop, sharing the images on Instagram. The Rhinestone-Adorned Sheer-Fitted Gown by Michael Cinco, a renowned Filipino designer in Dubai, highlighted her in the ensemble. Cinco’s creations have previously adorned celebrities like Beyoncé and Lady Gaga, positioning Mahira among the illustrious companies.
The gown was a delicate display of craftsmanship, with its fitted, shimmering rhinestones creating a glowing effect under the Dubai sun. Its sheer design elements introduced an edgy yet elegant flair, showcasing Mahira’s capacity to blend sophistication with a hint of boldness.
The photoshoot locations, including Dubai’s Cloud 22 and the Private Beach at Atlantis, The Royal, magnified the luxury of her attire and the city’s vibrant energy. These spots added depth to the visuals, portraying Mahira as not merely modelling a dress but dominating the urban landscape.
In an unexpected twist, Mahira accessorized with a Topall-Rhinestone Sparkly Diamond Purse from Amazon, which costs just $30. This choice cleverly grounded the high-fashion shoot, suggesting that while the gown might be aspirational, elements of her style remain accessible.
The makeup strategy was minimalistic, employing Huda Beauty’s Faux-filter luminous matte concealer and neutral lip glosses to achieve a natural look that accentuated rather than masked her natural features.
This photoshoot wasn’t Mahira’s first experience with Michael Cinco’s designs. She previously captivated audiences in a Cinderella-like gown by Cinco at a Dubai awards show, indicating a longstanding collaboration between the actress and the designer, highlighted by their joint appearance on the red carpet.
