Nominations for the much-anticipated LUX Style Awards have been officially announced for the year 2019.
Voting for the 19th LUX style awards was held online due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. The voting was carried out with the jurors for the fashion, film, television, and music. It was overseen by auditors, PriceWaterhouseCoopers (PWC).
The event is held to award the best in the areas of music, fashion, TV, and films.
The LUX Style Awards team has earlier announced a postponement of the event and has vowed to support those in the entertainment and fashion industry affected by the pandemic. The team collaborated with the Akhuwant Foundation to fulfill the cause.
Note that the winners for the 19th mega event will be announced in a virtual ceremony later this year.
