Be it on the red carpet, during promotions or at any event, the actresses of the Pakistani and Indian entertainment industries have always been trendsetters. It indeed takes an army to accumulate the best looks and the most crucial part of it is the outfit and the styling. In the past few years, we’ve seen similar looks on our favourite actresses here and across borders. Here’s a list of 9 times when Pakistani and Indian actors wore the same outfit:
1. Mahira Khan and Deepika Padukone
Turns out Mahira Khan and Deepika Padukone have one more thing in common other than being co-starred with Shahrukh Khan. The two of the most talented actors in their industries were spotted wearing the same red Zara drape dress.
The ‘Raees’ actress was styled by Maha Rizvi. Her hair and makeup were very subtle and had a neutral touch. She colour-blocked her outfit with blue Manolo Blahnik heels. Whereas, superstar Deepika Padukone wore the same dress with hot pink pants from Zara. Her usual stylist, Shaleena Nathani styled her and she chose to keep her hair tied and opted for a more bold and classy makeup with red lips. The outfit was paired with customized earrings by Stella McCartney and footwear by Christian Louboutin. This can be a perfect example of how one dress can be styled in different ways.
2. Noor Zafar Khan and Amy Jackson
‘Chalawa’ actress Noor Zafar Khan and ‘Singh is Bliing’ actress Amy Jackson, both gorgeous ladies wore the Spring 2020 burgundy off-shoulder ballroom gown by Atelier Zuhra.

She kept her makeup subtle but with bold red lips. Noor, who opted for a minimalist look, was styled by Rao Ali Khan. She kept her hair down with no statement jewellery. The mesmerising looks can transpire the personalities of both of the actresses.
