Pakistani dramas are loved globally, and in addition to the television audience, the viewership has increased due to YouTube releases. A good drama becomes a memorable drama only when it ticks all the important boxes, including a great script, phenomenal direction, the right performances, and how the characters feel on-screen. The feel of a character is heavily dependent on its styling, diction and expressions. Styling is a very important part of creating a character. It makes them palatable and unforgettable for the audience.
Many of the stars of Pakistani dramas are loved for their performances in multiple projects, but there is always that one project where their styling makes them stand out. All our superstars had that one role which made them join the Styling Hall of Fame. Let’s take a look at some of these unforgettable roles.
Sanam Saeed – Kafeel
Sanam Saeed is a superstar of Pakistani dramas. She is loved for her poise, grace and her ability to get under the skin of every character. She has done many memorable and classic projects like Zindagi Gulzar Hai, Daam, Kadurat and Cake. She recently starred as Zeba in Kafeel, and she has never looked this beautiful. She brought the 90s beauty to life with her kajal eyes, beautiful long hair and minimal yet impactful styling. From her normal attire to her bridal looks, Sanam Saeed definitely deserves a spot on the list of evergreen drama looks.
Mahira Khan – Sadqay Tumharay
Mahira Khan is a Pakistani global superstar. She has represented Pakistan internationally, and her beauty has landed her on multiple lists of the most beautiful people in the world multiple times. The actress has been a part of many big dramas and films in her career, but one role where her styling peaked is hands down Sadqay Tumharay. She played the leading character, Shano. Shano was from the 80s and 90s era, and Mahira Khan’s beauty and innocence shone in the show. The styling is such a winner that anyone on the street will be able to identify the character if they see only one picture.
Sarah Khan – Sabaat
Sarah Khan is a Pakistani star who is known for her beauty. She started her career with a supporting role in Bari Aapa, and today she is one of the most sought-after stars of the television industry. Sarah is always admired and appreciated for her beauty, but her appearance as Miral in Sabaat is what gave her her superstardom and cemented her place as one of the best-styled characters in television history. Her styling and look were so on-point that people could not hate her character despite constant negativity.
Fawad Khan – Humsafar
Fawad Khan is the heartthrob of the nation. He was active in both music and acting, but it was Humsafar which put the star on the map, not just in Pakistani dramas but global entertainment. As the drama aired a decade and a half ago, and it was witnessed by a different generation, we can all agree today that Asher Hussain is one of the biggest red flags in the history of Pakistani dramas. He never trusted his wife, did not care about his child for five years, and kept emotionally abusing his wife despite knowing in his heart that she could never betray him. But his looks did help him with the audience. Those formal suits and shirts, casual shalwar kameez and specs made Fawad Khan’s beauty unforgettable, and even made a red flag like Asher Hussain palatable.
Bilal Abbas Khan – Ishq Murshid
Bilal Abbas Khan is the new-age superstar of Pakistani dramas. He is a self-made star, and his great choice of scripts, in addition to his strong performances, has brought him a special place in the hearts of audiences. Bilal is known for his good looks, but his styling in Ishq Murshid as Shahmeer Sikandar, as well as Fazal Bakhsh, made his character memorable. Be it formal suits or the casual shalwar kameez, Bilal Abbas Khan’s looks have stayed with the audience, and he looked the most suave on screen in the role.
Anmol Baloch – Iqtidar

She has looked her best in the role, and her looks were copied left, right and centre after the drama aired.
Sajal Aly – Aangan
Sajal Aly is the superstar of Pakistani dramas. She has also appeared in international projects and Pakistani films. Her beauty and aura are unmatched. She always receives love for her minimalist styling. The actress has looked beautiful in all her roles, but her styling as Chammi in the period drama Aangan was unmatched.

She always works on her on-screen styling, but her looks in Mein hit it out of the park. From her office outfits to eastern wear, she became memorable with Mein. The actress definitely deserves a spot on the best Pakistani drama looks for her styling in Mein.
Saba Qamar – Muamma
Saba Qamar is a Pakistani superstar, and she is renowned as the best talent in the industry. She has just been winning the fans again and again with back-to-back hits like Case No.9, Pamaal and Muamma. Her role in Muamma was menacing and, at the same time, beloved. Saba Qamar’s acting prowess made a character like Jiji palatable, but her styling also played an important role. The anarkalis, the kajal-laden eyes, the kolhapuri chappals and the silver jewellery all made this character beautiful. Saba even wore a Sabyasachi saree for her role as Jiji.
Momina Iqbal – Do Kinaray
Momina Iqbal is a Pakistani actress who starred in the show Do Kinaray on Green TV. Despite being a lead actress, Momina took up this extremely negative character. This was a brave step, but she made it worth it. The character’s styling not only made her a fan favourite, but it also made the drama a hit, both on television and YouTube.
