Year after year, we’ve found ourselves sighing over why the HUM Awards’ fashion game keeps dipping low, but not this year. This time around, we’re talking wins, we’re talking wow moments, and most importantly, we’re talking effort. From red-carpet revival to risk-taking ensembles, 2025 was the year the stars remembered what fashion’s really about – personality and play.
Let’s start with the men – because oh boy, they finally got the memo. Gone are the days of dull blazers and uninspired tuxes. Adnan Syed, with his rose-tinted glasses, had us humming La Vie En Rose, while Zarrar Khan’s green leather jacket was a fresh jolt of edge. Bilal Abbas Khan’s velvet suit might not have been flawless, but it screamed experimentation – and we stan effort! And can we talk about Asim Azhar’s salmon pink suit for his performance? A bold, confident move that absolutely paid off.
Among the women, it was velvet, vintage, and vibrant hues stealing the scene. Hania Aamir’s navy blue velvet co-ords gave pure Noor Jehan energy – classic, glamorous, and effortlessly chic. Mahira Khan, wrapped in an Iqbal Hussain saree, may have been safe but those kohl-rimmed eyes did all the talking. Nadia Jamil and Sanam Jung, draped in striking red and shocking pink sarees respectively, proved that simplicity with confidence still reigns supreme.
The HUM Awards 2025 reminded us that Pakistani fashion shines brightest when it dares – when it celebrates individuality over imitation. This year, the stars didn’t just dress up; they showed up. Here’s hoping this spirit of experimentation keeps the red carpet glowing for seasons to come.
