Unlike previous extravagant editions, this year's awards took a more modest approach, with organizers inviting celebrities, nominees, media personalities, and select influencers rather than hosting a lavish ceremony.

 

The event featured 28 award categories across television, film, music, fashion, and digital content, with both Viewers' Choice and Critics' Choice selections.

 

The ceremony's return holds special significance as the awards were paused during the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2020, organizers opted out entirely and donated the ceremony's budget to the Akhuwat Foundation to support fashion industry workers affected by lockdown closures. The 23rd Lux Style Awards in 2025 were announced digitally.

 

The 2025 edition introduced digital content creator categories for the first time, acknowledging the growing impact of online storytelling and influencers on Pakistan's creative economy.

 

Created in 2002, the Lux Style Awards remain Pakistan's premier entertainment and fashion awards ceremony.
