Khadijah Shah, the woman behind design house Elan’s growing success, looked breath-taking in a posh ensemble at the Elan Polo Cup held last Sunday. From the Hermes Birkin belt, to the gorgeous emerald green over-sized clutch, Shah was the epitome of royalty and exquisiteness. Here is a breakdown of how you can get a similar look:
Hair
Shah’s hair looks stunning in those trendy blonde low-lights, blow-dried to perfection! Head to your nearest salon for some en-vogue streaks, but make sure to choose a shade that suits your complexion and style. After applying a frizz-free serum sparingly, blow-dry your hair using a paddle brush. Use a thick-barrel brush to add some volume at the crown.
Outfit
Shah is definitely keeping up with the trends in a cropped black blazer. The tailored fit complements her figure. Pairing it with a simple black tank top and a pair of skinnies, she lets the blazer speak for itself. Check out Mango (Rs6,000) or Debenhams (Rs8,000) for a similar jacket because, they lend a great deal of confidence to a woman and polish to a look.
Make-up
We are glad that unlike many, Shah chose a bright pink lip shade for the rather gloomy winter season. Well-defined eyes and peachy cheeks make her appear fresh and cheery. Try MAC’s Pink Noveau lipstick for a similar shade and Bare Minerals’ Ready blush in Aphrodisiac. Use Rimmel’s Exaggerate eyeliner for those precise sultry eyes.
Accessories and Shoes
Shah uplifts a simple, practical outfit with a bunch of posh and glamorous accessories. Although, a Hermes belt may not be within everyone’s reach, one can still style up a similar look with any chunky leather monogram belt in brown or camel, and such staples are totally making waves in the fashion sector. Check out Accessorize (Rs3,500) or Hub Leather (Rs5,000) for a similar belt. Her knee-high leather boots positively shout chic. Check out Charles & Keith (Rs6,000) or Nine West (Rs8,000) for a pair like hers.
