Anoushey Ashraf offered followers a stylish glimpse into Riyadh Season Day 2, sharing an effortless “Outfit of the Day” reel that combined elegance, colour, and light-hearted humour. The short clip captured her inside a hotel room, where she moved with confidence in a sleeveless golden-tan PinkTree dress, adorned with soft sequins and multicoloured floral embroidery that added character without overpowering the cut.
She layered the look with a deep red, heavily embroidered dupatta edged with traditional motifs, creating a striking contrast against the minimal silhouette of the dress. The reel highlighted her playful twirl, with the embellished fabric fanning into motion in a way that made the outfit feel dynamic and celebratory. The styling, credited to Amal, included long statement earrings, loose waves, and natural makeup that kept the focus on both the textile craftsmanship and Anoushey’s animated expressions.
With a candid caption, “me pretending I’m not running on Panadol and vibes!”, she framed the moment as light, spontaneous, and relatable. Rather than a curated red-carpet moment, the clip delivered an everyday fashion snapshot from someone navigating a long schedule at a major cultural event with humour and personality.
The Riyadh Season festival, underway through the winter months, continues to draw global attention as one of the Middle East’s most ambitious entertainment initiatives. Organised under Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 agenda, the programme features live concerts, competitive sports, culinary showcases and immersive attractions designed to boost tourism and cultural exchange. For artists, presenters and influencers from across the world, the festival offers a large platform for identity, performance and style.
Anoushey Ashraf has been part of Pakistan’s media landscape for over two decades. Known for her work as a VJ, presenter, actor and producer, she built her early career hosting on Indus Music and later became a recognisable face on television. Her portfolio includes acting roles in Sehra Main Safar, Chanar Ghati and Saanp Seerhi, as well as co-hosting Pakistan Idol. Her active presence on social media has also cemented her connection with audiences, with a mix of promotional content, lifestyle updates and advocacy that reflects her evolving professional identity.
Her Riyadh Season reel, though brief, encapsulates much of what keeps her relevant: an ease with performance, a willingness to laugh at herself, and an instinct for fashion that feels familiar rather than distant. In an environment designed for spectacle, she chose a tone that felt personal and unfiltered, reinforcing her appeal as a relatable public figure while spotlighting Pakistani style amid a global cultural festival.
