When Scha Alyahya chopped off her long locks to a modish bob early this year, it sparked a lively discussion on the Internet. Such is the power that Scha wields as one half of Malaysia’s most influential celebrity power couple. Together with her husband Awal Ashaari, Scha has cultivated a legion of adoring fans who have followed her since her early days as a film actress.
Today, her influence transcends film and entertainment; she commands an ardent following for her impeccable flair for fashion. In an exclusive interview, Scha answers eight style-related questions about herself while sporting the latest accessories from Roger Vivier.
1. You are a style inspiration for a lot of women. What are your thoughts about dressing for success?

To be honest, I don’t feel like I deserve such praises; I am humbled to hear such words. When I dress, I deliberate over what drives my clothing choices. Some days, I dress to express myself and on other days, I do it to leave an impression to others. But whatever it is, I believe in always staying true to yourself. When you dress in a way that embraces your personality, you will feel comfortable and confident in your own skin.
How do you use fashion to express yourself?
Fashion should be easy and fun. I strongly believe that it’s best to not be bogged down by ‘shoulds’ and ‘musts’ in how you dress. Follow where your personality takes you, and style yourself according to your personal taste.
2. How would you describe your style?
