Malala’s first look from British comedy ‘We Are Lady Parts’ revealed

The first look of Malala Yousafzai’s character in the British comedy ‘We Are Lady Parts’ is making rounds on social media.

Clad in a cowboy avatar, the look is complete with hat and [fake] horse.

Malala made her cameo in Season 2 of the acclaimed show, the first episode of which aired yesterday (May 30). ‘We Are Lady Parts’ is a British sitcom written and directed by Nida Manzoor. The show is about a British punk rock band — named Lady Parts — which is solely formed by Muslim women.

Malala’s Season 2 appearance also featured a song called ‘Malala Made Me Do It’.

In a conversation with British Vogue, the Nobel prize winner shared what made her say yes to the cameo: this was “probably the first show I watched where you had Muslim characters who weren’t side characters – you had five of them as the leads. That stood out.”

She also told Vogue that she was concerned about her appearance, specifically getting her head-covering right: “I want to look good. I’d want somebody to put as much effort into the dupatta, and into how I want to cover my head, as everything else…. When I saw the look and the hat, I knew they’d thought about it. I was really happy.”

Meanwhile, the director of the show, Nida Manzoor, told the LA Times about her decision to ask Malala for a cameo, saying that she had heard Malala talking about her love of comedy “and she had such a dark sense of humor. She’s so witty. I thought, ‘This woman loves comedy so maybe I have a chance’.”
