As a working mom who is also a successful actress and model, it is always important for Zahirah Macwilson to look polished and stylish at all times. However, it can be challenging especially when you are constantly chasing after a young toddler. To ensure that she stays polished and fancy, Zahirah always opts for linen because “these are breathable materials and comfortable to wear especially in a hot and humid weather like Malaysia”.

She also recommends the dresses from the M&S Autumn collection because she thinks that the “materials are cooling, soft and comfortable” and that she loves how “easy it is to wear, yet it is not too tight or too fitted, and is also modest, making it versatile for it to be worn on a day or night out”. She also adds that most people used to think that when one enters motherhood, there is a perception that one’s style is out, but with M&S cuttings and designs she believes that working moms “can still look fancy and practical and you can change it up with a pair of heels or even just a pair of flats” and you will look good anytime.

There are men out there who are interested in clothes and there are some who rely on their wives to help them pick out their outfits and make them fashionable. As a doting wife, Zahirah Macwilson does occasionally shop for her spouse, celebrity actor Aiman Hakim especially when she spots “a style that is suitable for him”. She describes her husband Aiman as “a really basic guy, who loves his t-shirts and shorts, especially the M&S basics T-shirt due to its versatility and how it can be easily paired with a pair of jeans, blazer on top for work or even shorts when he is off duties.”

After a long hard day at work, for many of us, it is nice to come home to a space that you can call your own. Zahirah Macwilson is a firm believer in incorporating scented candles in her home for her family to unwind from the M&S Home range because it feels luxurious and evokes a feeling of calmness. “I enjoy the feeling of being welcome and warm at home”.

Kuala Lumpur, 6th October 2022 – Celebrity actress, and model, Zahirah Macwilson is also a busy mom-on-the-go. As a modern working mom, she is faced with busy seasons where she is constantly engaged in photo shoots and a successful acting career. However, despite her busy schedule, it is always important for her to put her family first, and to ensure that her entire household and needs are met, similar to what most moms and wives also experience on a day-to-day basis.

To ensure that her family’s needs are met, Zahirah always heads to her favourite all-in-one stop shopping destination Marks & Spencer which is “close to her heart”. This is because “having grown up in the UK, M&S is a place where my (Zahirah’s) family used to go often for us to shop for our necessities from clothing to home to even food.”

As with most one-year-old toddlers, Isaac, Zahirah’s son, craves outdoor play. However, unlike most kids, Isaac has sensitive skin which can be a concern if he is not cloth well with the right fabrics. As a concerned mom, Zahirah does take extra care to ensure the clothing material she chooses is suitable for his skin and feeds his childlike desire for outdoor play. “I normally choose cooling and soft materials for Isaac when it comes to shopping for his clothes because he has mild eczema. I believe it is important to select really good quality cotton and to stay away from clothing that is thick and itchy.” She also shares that she leans “towards cotton t-shirts and shorts as he is always running around.” From the M&S Autumn kidswear range, she recommends the “M&S Basic cotton t-shirt and shorts because the materials are breathable and cooling and do not provide him rashes when he plays outdoors.”

As most Malaysians usually spend most of their time in air conditioning spaces to beat the hot and humid weather, Zahirah Macwilson and her family are no different. To keep her family’s skin moisturised, Zahirah Macwilson recommends the M&S lotions which have been used in her family for generations. “I definitely can’t leave the house without them. M&S lotion has always been a holy grail for me and my family (including my mom) as we have always been wearing it.“
