The homeland might be looking a little empty, and there’s good reason behind it.

The Pakistani industry flew to London for the weekend to attend The International Pakistan Prestige Awards (IPPA) 2017

It took place at London’s grand Hilton hotel over the weekend, and equivalent to Bollywood’s location awards show IIFA, the IPPA was a night of glitz and glamor for the Pakistani film and television fraternity. Forget ‘The Great Gatsby,’ last night Lollywood took London by storm in their sultry fine, fine attire. It was a night to celebrate the Pakistani film and television industry, with all our favorite actors and actresses present to pick up their highly deserved awards.

Ayesha Omar won the IPPA ‘Style Icon Of The Year’ at the awards and dolled up in a tasseled black gown to receive it

✌️?….thank you all of you, each and every one of you, for all the love and support…this one's for all of you…. ❤️❤️#ippawards2017 #ayeshaomar #styleiconoftheyear

The actress is a very well known trailblazer and twirled around last night as a fitting ode to her status
