Maya Ali is the one actress that can do justice to both eastern and western fashion and can rock any look. She is one of the most loved celebrities in the game, her dramas and films are loved by everyone. Her movie teefa in trouble and parry hut love was appreciated all over the world and was an instant hit. Apart from her acting skills, she is also known for being a fashion diva. Her ethnic wear pictures on Instagram have made the fans going crazy for her looks.

Pishwas, shalwar kameez, shararas, and lehenga cholis, her wardrobe is filled with all kinds of eastern wear and we want to steal each one of them. She was spotted wearing Faiza Saqlain’s signature pishwas multiple times during wedding events, Eid, and formal dinners as well. Apart from styling top designer articles, Maya Ali has stepped into the creative world herself and launched her own brand known as Maya Ali pret-a-porter which features contemporary and traditional designs inspired by our heritage.

Here are a few looks that proved she is the queen of ethnic wear.

Black Pishwas

One thing is for sure, you can never go wrong with a black outfit, and what’s better than a black pishwas. Maya Ali was spotted wearing a black pishwas with a fitted bodice and statement puffy sleeves. She paired it with a black chiffon dupatta with golden intricate embellishments. This outfit was simple yet Maya Ali managed to make it glamorous with statement jhumkas and sleek back hair and golden heels. This dress is a perfect choice for attending a winter wedding.

 Silver Sharara

 Mirror work is the most beautiful and alluring type of embellishment, it is vintage and traditional. Although mirror work is one of the oldest types of embroidery work, it has recently made its comeback not only in formal wear but also in casual wear as well. They look the best on a pastel or muted-toned canvas.

Maya Ali has been spotted showing off vintage hand-crafted mirror work on a solid silver silk fabric by Faiza Saqlain. This outfit featured a crushed sharara with a short shirt with beading detail on the border and paired with a heavily embellished mirror work. She styled the ensemble with jhumka earrings and beach waves. We want to recreate this look for a daytime sangeet function.

Green Salwar Kameez

Maya Ali was seen wearing our national dress in the prettiest grass green color on her brother’s dholak. The ensemble was perfect to attend a sangeet or dholki  if you want to ditch the ubiquitous pishwas or lehenga choli. The outfit was embellished with heavy gota and zari embroidery on a pure self-printed fabric paired with Kiran dupatta.

Pink Lehenga Choli

The outfit that was an internet sensation was this pink lehenga choli by Faiza Saqlain which she adorned on her brother’s shendi. This ensemble was traditional, chic, and just a sight for sore eyes. We also loved the dance videos that went viral instantly. It featured a fitted sequined choli with full chiffon sleeves and a twirl-worthy contrasting embellished lehenga. Maya Ali styled this beautiful lehenga choli with a sleek low bun and heavy jewelry and we loved every aspect of the look.

Red Saree

Who doesn’t love a little bit of drama and Bollywood? And what says better Bollywood than a bright red saree. Saree, as we all know, is the most loved women’s outfit in the sub-continent and we have seen some empowering boss ladies adorning it at various events. Maya Ali was also seen wearing a bright red net saree at an event. The look was romantic, traditional, and classic yet modern and was a perfect attire to carry on a date night. She styled the saree with a statement necklace and wavy hair.

Light Grey Long Shirt

Nothing says elegance and class like a long shirt with straight trousers and Maya Ali has proved yet again that she is the queen of modest wear. This Wardha Saleem grey long kurta with trousers is the perfect outfit to wear at work, at a formal dinner, or even on a lunch out. This designer dress has white embroidery details on a muted tone background and lace detailing on the border paired with a net dupatta. She carried this outfit with grace with nude heels, jhomkis, and beach waves. We also loved her classic mehndi 😉.

White Salwar Kameez

If we hadn’t said it enough, we will say it again there’s nothing more classic than a good old white salwar kameez. Maya has shown us how to make an unforgettable statement in this classic Kokab Zia salwar kameez paired with a red dupatta. This article had heavy embellishment and embroidery on the shirt and minimal detailing on the border of the salwar. She went for a sleek updo, and paired some traditional silver earrings with it.
