The premiere took place in London as part of the UK Asian Film Festival, ahead of the film’s release in Pakistan. Mobeen’s look was styled by Saad Hassan and combined contemporary fashion with traditional elements to reflect the story of the film, which centres on resilience and community in Lyari.
She wore a white shirt with a wide collar and puffed shoulders paired with a traditional Balochi shalwar. The minimal base outfit was designed to highlight a statement embroidered corset that featured detailed artwork and symbolic imagery.
The corset included illustrations of young girls playing football, alongside motifs such as rickshaws, palm trees, and floral patterns, all crafted in colourful threadwork. It also carried the phrase “Lyari ka Fakhar,” meaning “Pride of Lyari,” reinforcing the film’s cultural message.
Her jewellery further elevated the look, featuring bold gold pieces including a heart-shaped necklace, metal rings, and a traditional panja-style hand accessory connected to finger rings. She completed the ensemble with gold earrings and custom nail art featuring personalised messages, including references to Lyari and stylised lettering.
