Maryam Nawaz, a prominent Pakistani politician and daughter of former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, recently found herself at the center of a social media storm over her attire at her son Junaid Safdar's second wedding. The lavish ceremonies for Junaid's marriage to Shanzeh Sheikh, granddaughter of PML-N leader Rohail Asghar, took place in Lahore between January 16 and 18, 2026. Nawaz's fashion choices, particularly a radiant mustard-yellow lehenga by Pakistani designer Nomi Ansari for the Mehndi and an olive-green ensemble by Iqbal Hussain for the Barat, drew significant attention. Many social media users commented that she looked 'more beautiful than the bride' and questioned why a 'nani amma' (grandmother) was 'dressed like a dulhan' (bride), suggesting she was stealing the bride's thunder. This is not the first instance of such criticism, as similar debates arose during her son's first marriage in 2021. The bride, Shanzeh Ali, also became a talking point for her choice of Indian designers, opting for an emerald green Sabyasachi lehenga for her Mehndi and a red Tarun Tahiliani saree for the main wedding event. This decision sparked further debate among Pakistani netizens regarding the support for local designers versus international ones. The extensive media coverage and online discussions confirm the widespread nature of the debate across Pakistani and Indian internet communities. The news, though focused on fashion and social trends, carries weight due to Maryam Nawaz's high-profile political status.
