Social media and several online posts have circulated reports that Maryam Nawaz was seen carrying a luxury handbag at her son **Junaid Safdar’s wedding that was widely described by users as being “worth around PKR 900,000” (approximately USD 3,100). The reports specifically mention a Valentino Garavani-style handbag at the event, drawing significant attention online.
However, none of these claims have been independently verified by established news outlets or through official statements from Maryam Nawaz’s office or her political party. Observers caution that social media posts often amplify luxury-oriented rumours without credible sourcing, and the figures circulating should be treated as unconfirmed.

Luxury bag reports spark discussion on social media
On platforms including Instagram and Facebook, viral posts claimed that Maryam Nawaz was pictured with a designer handbag “valued at around PKR 900,000” (roughly USD 3,100 based on current exchange rates). Some posts even referenced higher-end brands, but these attributions were made without verifiable backing or itemised pricing from sellers, auction houses, or authorised retailers.
Social media virality around luxury items at high-profile weddings often inflates value estimates, and experts in digital media analysis caution readers to distinguish between speculation and confirmed reporting.
No official breakdown of wedding expenditure
Similarly, widespread claims about the total expenditure on Junaid Safdar’s wedding have not been substantiated by credible financial reporting. Despite numerous videos and posts speculating that the wedding cost “billions of rupees,” no authoritative news organisation or government office has released an audited account or official estimate of cumulative spending on venue, catering, attire, entertainment, or logistics.
Without transparent accounting from the hosts or their representatives, estimates remain anecdotal, often amplified by political commentary or opinion content rather than documentary evidence.
Context on Maryam Nawaz’s public profile
Maryam Nawaz, a senior figure in Pakistani politics, has been the subject of public debate over personal wealth and asset disclosure in the past. Media reporting on her financial disclosures has referenced past legal and political disputes about property ownership, but those matters are separate from the specific social media claims about her attire at a personal family event.
