The wedding festivities of Junaid Safdar — son of Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif and grandson of former premier Nawaz Sharif — and Shanzeh Ali Rohale — granddaughter of seasoned politician Shaikh Rohale Asghar — became one of Pakistan’s most talked-about style occasions this season. From elegant bridal ensembles to sharply tailored sherwanis, every look offered a blend of traditional grandeur and contemporary fashion sensibilities.
Baraat: Classic Glamour Meets Modern Detail
The baraat set the tone for a regal celebration, with both bride and groom choosing outfits that balanced tradition, elegance, and designer prestige. . . – Junaid Safdar’s Look:
The groom opted for an ivory sherwani by Hassan Sheheryar Yasin (HSY), featuring gold buttons and a matching turban with gold-detailed accents. Paired with dark loafers, the look was timeless — traditional yet strikingly polished. Shanzeh Ali Rohale’s Ensemble:
Shanzeh turned heads in a red sari designed by Indian couturier Tarun Tahiliani — a noteworthy and bold choice for a baraat outfit. She complemented the sartorial splendor with a matching veil and a contrasting set of diamond and emerald jewellery, while her makeup leaned toward understated sophistication with kohl-rimed eyes and glossy, nude lips.
Valima: Soft Hues and Contemporary Romance
For the valima — typically the wedding’s closing celebration — the couple again showcased elevated fashion choices that felt celebratory yet elegant: Groom’s Style:
Junaid opted for a grey sherwani, a refined departure from the ivory of the baraat, offering a softer and more relaxed palette while still maintaining regal poise. Bride’s Look:
Shanzeh’s valima outfit featured a lilac lehenga by acclaimed designer Faraz Manan, detailed with silver embroidery and paired with a veil-like dupatta that enhanced the romantic quality of the ensemble. She coordinated this with delicate diamond jewellery, while her makeup softened toward pink-toned elegance — a harmonious complement to the pastel attire.
