The Lux Style Awards is an annual entertainment awards ceremony held in Pakistan since 2002. The event recognises achievements in the Pakistani film, television, fashion, and music industries. Accolades are determined by industry panels alongside public voting segments for selected film and television categories.

The televised ceremonies have primarily taken place in Karachi, with editions also hosted in Lahore, Kuala Lumpur, and Dubai.

History

The Lux Style Awards were established in 2002 by Musharaf Hai, then chairperson of Unilever Pakistan. It grew to become one of the country's primary annual entertainment awards ceremonies.

The 2008 ceremony was cancelled citing security and economic concerns. Organisers redirected event funds to establish educational scholarships for students at the National College of Arts, the National Academy of Performing Arts, and two regional fashion institutes.

Categories initially featured audience-voted Viewer's Choice awards for performance roles. In 2019, organisers introduced distinct Critics' Choice accolades alongside the viewer-voted categories to evaluate technical and artistic merit.
