How Fatima Sana Shaikh brought back the old-world charm with this romantic drama – Firstpost

Fatima Sana Shaikh has cast a magical spell of old-school love in her recently released film, Gustaakh Ishq – Kucch Pehle Jaisa. For the film’s promotions, the actress served major ethnic statements in subtle traditional wears, all while bringing back the charm of subtleties and refined ethnic sophistication.

Fatima donned a soft silver handwoven saree featuring antique zari embellishments that added an edge of new texture. She paired the tissue drape with a lavender floral zari blouse and completed her look with sculptural jewellery including danglers, styled her hair in soft waves, and opted for dewy makeup.

Fatima gave sarees a winter upgrade by donning a black velvet drape with fine white borders, paired with a striking cut-out blouse with an emerald pendant stealing the spotlight. She stayed devoid of any jewellery and simply let her saree do all the talking.

Fatima exuded soft elegance in an intricately embellished saree featuring delicate sequin work and fine detailing along the border. She gave her hair a center partition and topped it with a detailed hair accessory. Fatima highlighted her look with statement earrings and stacked rings, keeping the overall look traditionally graceful.

Fatima channeled modern glam in a tailored co-ord set featuring a sleeveless metallic longline blazer paired with matching wide-legged pants. She let the focus remain on her outfit by simply styling her hair in smooth waves and choosing minimal accessories. Giving a modern twist to ethnic glam, Fatima truly blended power dressing with grace.

For the film’s trailer launch event, Fatima soaked the film’s soft essence in a white satin saree paired with a shimmery blouse. She completed her look by styling her hair in loose waves and choosing contemporary earrings.

Fatima looked as radiant as ever in a light olive green sharara set. The short kurta featured intricate gold work at the hem, adding a certain edge to the overall look. With hair styled in soft waves and selective accessories, Fatima let her outfit shine.

_Gustaakh Ishq_, Firstpost wrote- “Gustaakh Ishq is a slow burn and is a reminder for all of us to slow down with life. The movie will take you back to that phase of life where people still believe in the smell of books and the printing press is still a high point of their life and not mobile phones and video shots.”
