Despite several days having passed since Bakhtawar Bhutto Zardari and Mahmood Choudhry tied the knot, there is constant interest in the wedding events that took place and the effort put into them. While the question as to who designed Bakhtawar's nikah dress was laid to rest earlier, social media is now abuzz with discussions of the outfit she wore to her reception on January 30. It has emerged that the reception dress, a fully embroidered shalwar kameez, was designed by Haris Ahmed
"We are privileged to design this traditional shalwar qameez for Bakthawar Bhutto Zardari, daughter of former President Mr Asif Ali Zardari and late Benazir Bhutto on her reception day at Bilawal House on 30th January 2021," read a statement by the designer. According to the statement, the team worked over 800 development hours "to bring this precious masterpiece" to fruition. The traditional dress featured "finest quality" zardozi work described by Ahmed as "the art of gold sewing" and complimented by "real gota", an "intricate twist of glistening threads". The label also showed a close up of the dupatta which caught the eye and fancy of many a woman closely following reportage around the high-profile affair.
