Updated 5 November 2026 · Facts checked against coverage in 24 News, Daily Pakistan, Minute Mirror, Reviewit, Dailyinfotainment and The Nation
“Comeback ho toh aisa.” That was the line flooding Instagram after Aiman Khan stepped onto the runway on the final night of LAAM Fashion Week 2026 in a gold sequinned gown and a silver fringed cape by Erum Khan Couture. It was a rare high fashion moment for her, it came about a year after the birth of her younger daughter, and she looked, in a word, golden. Here is the look decoded, why fans called it a comeback, what we know about Erum Khan Couture, and how to wear gold this wedding season without looking like a trophy.
AT A GLANCE
- Who: Aiman Khan
- Designer: Erum Khan Couture
- Event: LAAM Fashion Week Season 2, final day, 26 October 2026, Lahore
- The look: Floor length gold sequinned column gown with a silver embellished, fringed cape
- Accessories: Statement silver flower earrings, a silver bracelet and a ring
- The buzz: “Comeback ho toh aisa”, with fans praising her fitness and asking for a return to dramas
- Price: Not published
Why the internet called it a comeback
Aiman Khan was one of the biggest young stars of Pakistani television, with hits like Baandi and Ishq Tamasha. In recent years she has focused on family life with her husband, actor Muneeb Butt, and their two daughters, while staying one of the most followed Pakistani celebrities on Instagram through campaigns and family posts.
So when she appeared on the LAAM Fashion Week runway, roughly a year after welcoming her younger daughter, fans noticed two things at once: a dramatic fitness transformation and a very confident return to high fashion. Comment sections filled with “queen”, “so fit” and requests for her to come back to acting. To be clear, there has been no formal announcement of a return to dramas. The “comeback” was a fashion comeback, and judging by the reaction, it worked.
It also landed on a big night. The final day of LAAM Fashion Week brought Sajal Aly, Saboor Aly, Zara Noor Abbas and Nameer Khan to Lahore, and the designer showcase featured Erum Khan alongside Ali Xeeshan and Mohtaram before HSY’s closing show.

The look, decoded
Most reports simply said “gold gown”. The photos show a more interesting outfit, in two parts.
The gown. A fitted, floor length column gown covered in gold sequins and beadwork. Look closely and the embroidery is not random: rows of beads run down the body in lines, then open into feather like sprays towards the hem. A high, round neckline keeps it elegant rather than revealing. A column shape is fitted without being tight, and it makes anyone look taller.
The cape. The surprise. A short, silver cape sits over her shoulders, heavily embellished with silver beads and small brown and bronze accents, finished with a fringe of hanging beads at the edge. Silver over gold sounds risky, but it breaks up all that gold, frames the face and adds movement every time she moves her arms. It is also the most modern part of the look.
The jewellery. Instead of a heavy necklace, which would fight with the cape, Aiman wears oversized silver flower shaped earrings, a delicate silver bracelet and a ring. Silver jewellery ties back to the cape, not the gown.
Hair and makeup. Big, glossy, side swept Hollywood waves in jet black, softly defined eyes, groomed brows and a rosy nude lip. Old Hollywood glamour, with a very Pakistani warmth in that smile.
Gold gown, silver cape, Hollywood waves: Aiman proved that mixing metals is the new rule.
About Erum Khan Couture
Erum Khan is a Pakistani couturier known for formal and occasion wear, and her label was part of the designer showcase on the final day of LAAM Fashion Week Season 2. Putting a star as widely followed as Aiman Khan in a gold gown with a silver statement cape was a smart choice: it guaranteed the brand a spot in every roundup of the night, including ours.
Price and where to buy
Erum Khan Couture has not published a price for Aiman’s gown, and we will not guess one. LAAM Fashion Week works on a runway to e-tail model, so looks from the shows are meant to reach shoppers online through the LAAM app and website. For couture pieces like this one, expect made to order timelines and a fitting, so contact the brand well before a December or January function.

How to wear gold like Aiman this shaadi season
- Mix gold and silver, but in layers. Aiman’s trick: a gold base and one silver layer on top, like a cape, shawl or jacket. Keep everything else to those two metals.
- Choose warm or cool gold for your skin. Yellow gold glows on warm, wheatish skin. Champagne or rose gold suits cooler, fairer tones.
- Earrings, not a necklace. With an embellished neckline or cape, skip the necklace and wear one pair of statement earrings, like her silver flowers.
- Matte skin, glowing highlights. A soft matte base with highlighter only on the cheekbones stops your face competing with the fabric.
- Where to wear it: walima, reception or a mehndi night. Gold photographs beautifully under stage and fairy lights.
- Budget version: a gold sequinned or tissue suit with a silver embellished shawl or short jacket gives you the same gold and silver effect for a fraction of couture prices.
- Hair: try her side swept waves. They suit every face shape and photograph beautifully at night functions.
THE SALESIREN VERDICT
The look: 9/10. Bold, glamorous and perfectly timed.
The moment: One of the most talked about appearances of the final night.
Steal this: The silver cape over gold. It is the detail that makes the look.
