Pakistani actress Ayeza Khan’s Independence Day photoshoot has stirred mixed reactions online, with critics accusing her of imitating the late Princess Diana’s iconic style from her 1991 visit to Lahore.
Khan, dressed in a deep green outfit paired with a white dupatta, shared her celebratory photos on social media. The look drew immediate comparisons to Lady Diana’s ensemble during her historic trip to Pakistan, where the princess wore a lighter green knee-length kurta with a white scarf.
While some users praised the actress for her confidence and elegance, others argued that the outfit choice clashed with the spirit of Pakistan’s independence, calling it an unnecessary homage to a figure from the former colonial power. One user sarcastically commented, “When you order Lady Diana from an online store.”
The criticism ranged from claims of cultural imitation to suggestions that Khan could never match the late royal’s grace. Still, her supporters dismissed the backlash, insisting she carried the look with pride and poise.
The discussion continues to trend, reflecting the fine line between fashion inspiration and cultural sensitivity in Pakistan’s celebrity sphere.
