Accompanied by husband Wissam Breidy, the Tunisian model opted for a demure number by Dubai-based Lebanese designer Dima Ayad. But unlike Ayad’s trademark metallic-detailed numbers, Saidi’s pick this time spruced things up with a bold print. The bright shade of violet of her kaftan, interlocked with white in a geometric print, was enhanced by a sequined V-shaped neckline. Standing beside her, Breidy painted a dapper picture in head-to-toe black: a look that also ensured that the couple’s ensembles didn’t clash.

Given the busy pattern on her kaftan, Rym Saidi decided to go with understated, yet gorgeous, jewelry pieces for her iftar in Dubai. The model paired her look with a thin necklace featuring a trademark Bulgari pendant, and the rest of her jewelry – also from Bulgari – executed this minimalist vision to perfection. A pair of pared-back heels adorned her feet, rounding out a look that will surely provide inspiration for many Ramadan nights.

Rym Saidi’s super sleek beauty look
To complement her look, the 36-year-old pulled her hair back in a sleek low bun, letting all the focus fall upon her glammed-up face. Rym Saidi’s glossy pink lip was accompanied by a dewy complexion and a subtle rouge on the cheeks. Her sculpted brows and bold eyes brought to fruition a glamorous yet fuss-free makeup look, perfect for everything from evening affairs to a day out in the city.

Proving her versatile style, Saidi was also spotted in another distinct look this week. For the iftar hosted by Dior in Dubai, the mother-of-two opted for a black chiffon frock from the fashion house’s Ramadan collection. So whether you are looking to go the neutral route or the playful one, make sure to keep an eye out for Saidi’s wardrobe this month for lots of festive inspiration.

The Saudi actor and singer opted for a gold lace kaftan for her most recent outing, which was cinched in at the waist with a belt crafted from the same fabric. The Dior ambassador, who was also recently revealed as the face of the house’s new Ramadan collection, completed her look with matching accessories in gold, including a gold cuff and delicate rings. For arm candy, Omran carried aling a new iteration of the iconic Lady Dior Bag, and one of the latest La D My Dior timepieces by Victoria de Castellane.

Aseel Omran paired her gold lace kaftan with a soft beauty look
For her Dubai iftar, Aseel Omran complemented her metallic kaftan with soft, mermaid-like waves, and an equally romantic makeup look. Her picks included coral cheeks, a soft nudey-pink lip color, sculpted brows, and lush lashes. The overall look worked perfectly with her delicate ensemble, and would work just as well for an evening occasion as it would for a mid-day soiree post Eid.

There’s a new summer dress to covet this season, and it has received the stamp of approval from not one, but two Arab It girls: Amina Muaddi and Dana Hourani.
Earlier this month, both style stars were spotted favoring the same dress, which was a lilac-hued Loewe number with all-over ruched detailing and a halter neck. Muaddi and Hourani picked the soft and breezy look for equally memorable moments in their life. While the Jordanian-Romanian accessories designer wore the dress to receive the Neiman Marcus Award for Innovation in the Field of Fashion, the Lebanese singer wore it to celebrate her feature on a giant Loewe billboard in Dubai.
Check out how Amina Muaddi and Dana Hourani styled the Loewe summer dress below

The two also offered slightly different ways of styling the piece, with a statement accessory elevating both their outfits. For Muaddi, it was a stack of glittering bracelets, and unsurprisingly, silver heels from her namesake label. Hourani went a more minimalistic route with small metallic hoop earrings, and a cream-colored Loewe handbag. Interestingly, both women went with similar beauty looks with this romantic number. Strong cat eyes, dewy skin, and plump, rosy lips won the votes of both, Muaddi and Hourani. But while Amina wore the dress with her open hair styled in soft waves, Dana went with super sleek locks accentuated with her signature sharp fringe.
Muaddi took to Instagram to share pictures from the special evening, which included the designer posing with her trophy, as well as friends and family. As for Hourani, the singer commemorated the moment by posing in front of her billboard.

Days after Selena Gomez updated fans on her relationship status, the actor was spotted running around New York’s Upper West Side in a wedding gown. Before speculations about her marital status run wild and fans descend into a social media frenzy, it is essential to point out the film crew behind her in most photos from the scene.
Gomez is currently filming Season 3 of Only Murders in the Building, a critically acclaimed television series taking a comedic approach to crime fiction. It may have been Mabel Mora – Gomez’s character in the show – who walked down the aisle this time, but these photos have certainly proved that when the day comes, this former Disney star will make a beautiful bride.

Exuding the kind of glamour that’s synonymous with old Hollywood, the actor looked stunning in a strapless dress showing off her décolletage with a sweetheart neckline. Her fitted lace bodice merged into the floral embroidery adorning a puffy tulle skirt evoking images of timeless princess gowns. The sheer veil with lace edges and white gloves enhanced an already classically romantic ensemble, while the white boots on her feet gave the entire outfit a Mabel Mora-approved contemporary edge. The bridal look was completed with a bold red lip and drop earrings highlighted with the help of a chignon.

This behind-the-scenes sneak peek not only gives fans a chance to see Mora as a bride, but also hints at the fact that things may not go as perfectly as one would hope. Photos from the set show Gomez running away with her co-stars Martin Short and Steve Martin with none of them supporting the joyfully emotional expressions one would expect from a wedding. The actor also provided her followers with additional content with a post on Instagram.

Trust Bella Hadid to make a sartorial statement, all while supporting emerging talent.

Promoting her beverage brand Kin Euphorics in Las Vegas this weekend, the part-Palestinian model championed an up-and-coming designer from the region. The bright red dress worn by Hadid for her attendance at the Stanton Social Prime at Caesars Palace had been picked from Egyptian creative Amy Shehab’s namesake label. Given that the model styled herself for the event, it makes sense that the long-sleeved, curve-hugging number with a drop waist buckle caught Hadid’s eye, as it falls in line with her penchant for 90s-inspired pieces.

See Bella Hadid strike a pose in her pick from Amy Shehab below

Amy Shehab is a US-based online brand founded in 2016, and born out of the designer’s love for fashion which bloomed when she worked in retail at the age of 16. Empowered by her mother’s advice to “never rely on anything or anyone, but God,” Shehab used the social skills and funds from the job to lay the foundation of her independence, and began making her own jewelry while in college. “I would walk around NYC to source materials and it brought me joy. I started wearing my pieces to work and customers would compliment me and ask me where they could buy them,” she tells Vogue Arabia. “Most of the time, I gave the pieces for free out of love, until realizing that I have the power to turn this into a business.”

It was a 2016 trip to her grandmother’s home in Cairo and exploring factories in the city that helped Shehab find the materials to launch her very own line of Egyptian-inspired jewelry which she later brought to New York. “That’s where I broadened my options and started selling all types of jewelry online. Four years later, I began to create clothing, as I love having my own individual style and try to buy pieces I don’t see on others.”
With the brand now finding a fan in one of the world’s most sought-after models, Shehab feels honored. “I love how Bella is her own person,” she says. “Not only is she beautiful, but beautifully places pieces together and creates her style with confidence, no matter what she wears. She is a major influence in today’s world—both, in being a top model in fashion, and also in choosing to shed light on the importance of what’s going on in the world.”
It is evident that a strong passion for individualistic style and faith in the transformative power of fashion has led Shehab to this moment. “Wearing the perfect piece of clothing can completely shift your mood. When a woman is confident it’s almost like a superpower,” she says. “So now, I’m on this journey. Excited to see where it takes me, as I have a big love for fashion.”

Best believe Taylor Swift was bejeweled head-to-toe to kick off her long-awaited The Eras Tour—in a Zuhair Murad gown, no less.

For Night 2 of her sold-out concert in Glendale, Arizona, the Grammy Award-winning singer opted for a custom creation by the Lebanese designer: A romantic ball gown perfect for singing “Enchanted” in. The blush pink dress appeared to be straight out of a fairytale (or in this case, “Love Story”) with all-over embellishments in Murad’s signature sequins in a starburst pattern, while the back featured a cross strap detail. Styled by Joseph Cassell Falconer, Swift paired the dress with minimal jewelry and her unmistakable red lip and winged eyeliner.

Take a closer look at the bespoke Zuhair Murad gown worn by Taylor Swift for The Eras Tour below.

The rest of Swift‘s fashion-filled wardrobe for the tour includes equally noteworthy pieces that nod to her past musical eras. The gold, fringed Roberto Cavalli dress, in particular, is an updated version of another Cavalli number Swift wore during her Fearless tour in 2011. “We chose a beautiful champagne color, which is very Taylor,” Fausto Puglisi tells Vogue. The Roberto Cavalli designer has also created a black and red catsuit with snakes embroidered on it as a reference to her bold and daring Reputation era. “It’s more of a badass, rock and roll look,” he says.
So far, Swift has mirrored the pastel-hued aesthetic from her Lover album in a dazzling Versace bodysuit, performed Midnight’s “Lavender Haze” in an Oscar de la Renta faux fur lavender coat, and paid homage to Folklore in breezy prairie gowns by Alberta Ferretti and Etro.

The corset dress is fast becoming a celebrity favorite with Amina Muaddi being the latest one to take the trend out for a spin.

While in LA to attend the star-studded Versace show, the Jordanian-Romanian accessories designer opted for a lime green number from the fashion house. The strappy dress featured a bodycon silhouette with defined ribbing, serving as the perfect pick for a springtime soirée, or in Muaddi’s case, the Elton John Aids Foundation’s 31st Annual Academy Awards Viewing Party. The designer styled the dress with gold chunky chain link heels from her namesake brand and sported a coiffed hairstyle. Muaddi viewed the show in another statement piece, a black high-neck dress with a slit on the torso, and later slipped into a second black gown with a plunging neckline.

Take a closer look at Amina Muaddi’s green corset dress below.

Corset dresses and other pieces with similar details have also been favored by both, younger and veteran stars of late. Most recently, at the 2023 Oscars, The Little Mermaid lead Halle Bailey wore a tulle corset dress while Academy Award-winner Jamie Lee Curtis walked the carpet in a crystal-covered design from Dolce & Gabbana. Jenna Ortega, the 20-year-old breakout star from Netflix’s Wednesday also put a fresh spin on the style during the press tour of her new film Scream VI by opting for an olive green Dion Lee corset suit. Elsewhere in New York, Keira Knightley made a rare red carpet appearance on Tuesday wearing Vivienne Westwood corsetry which also recalled her Pride & Prejudice and The Duchess days.

What’s old is new again—just look at the red carpets this awards season. Hunter Schafer, Zendaya, Cate Blanchett, and more used the red carpet as an opportunity to showcase vintage fashion at the BAFTAs, NAACP Image Awards, Oscars, and more. Many of the gowns and ensembles were from the recent past by designers like Versace, Jean Paul Gaultier, Dior, and more. One particularly popular era: 1995-2005 (which, coincidentally, encompasses some of the years Gen-Zers were born.)
And the looks feel remarkably of the moment. Take, for example, Olivia Rodrigo. The pop star, with the help of stylist Danielle Goldberg, wore horse-printed Chloé pants from Stella McCartney’s tenure at the brand on the red carpet. With a flared leg and low-slung waist, the pants, incredibly, hit multiple quadrants on the trendiness chart. While vintage Versace—namely the 90s— has been worn to events by Zendaya, Dua Lipa, and Bella Hadid. It’s fashion so good, it demands to be worn twice.
Vintage taps into the ever-growing desire for sustainability within fashion. Why make an entirely new dress when there are plenty of great ones waiting to be reworn? And the looks do not have to feel overly rooted in the past either. Popular archival shops such as Tab Vintage, Pechuga Vintage, and Shrimpton Couture have emerged as reliable go-to’s for remarkably curated and of-the-moment vintage fashion for celebrities and fashion enthusiasts.
And then there is Cate Blanchett, who has not only reworn looks from previous red carpets but also reworked garments into entirely new creations. An Alexander McQueen gown becomes a fitted top; repurposed lace from the Armani workshops is used for a new gown. Blanchett showcases that vintage fashion can be utilized in multiple and myriad ways.

Below, check out some of the best vintage fashion moments from this past awards season.

Kate Middleton just attended the annual Commonwealth Service for the first time as the Princess of Wales and made sure to give a sartorial shoutout to the new king.
On March 13, Prince William and Kate Middleton attended the service at Westminster Abbey with the rest of the royal family. Though the Princess of Wales has been favoring recycled pieces from her wardrobe at recent events, she opted for a new Erdem suit from the British designer’s upcoming collection. The navy design features a midlength flared skirt and peplum blazer with sparse white floral embroidery.

Kate Middleton paired the elegant suit with blue suede pointed-toe heels and a matching wide-brim hat with bow detail. For accessories, she wore one of her favorite jewelry combinations: Princess Diana’s sapphire and diamond drop earrings that perfectly complement her famous engagement ring.
But those weren’t the only item from the royal archives that made an appearance. The princess also wore the Wales Feather Brooch that Lady Di used to wear as a necklace. According to People, the brooch was previously gifted to Middleton by King Charles, making it a sentimental nod to both her mother- and father-in-law, as well as her updated title. For the look, it appears Middleton removed the emerald drop from the pin, which has also been worn by the Queen Consort.

Though Miranda Priestly may not consider florals for spring groundbreaking, there’s something refreshing about Middleton’s recent wave of prints. Heavily favoring houndstooth coats and skirts as of late, the Princess of Wales even showed off the more affordable side of her closet when she broke out a midi skirt from Zara, which she paired with a much more expensive bespoke Alexander McQueen coat and black boots by Gianvito Rossi.
Affordability was not the name of the game on Commonwealth Day. According to British Vogue, the Erdem look will run you over $3,600 when it becomes available in fall 2023… accessories extra.

Ahead of her own nuptials later this year, Rajwa Al Saif attended her first royal wedding as the fiancée of Crown Prince Hussein this week. On Sunday, March 12, Princess Iman and Jameel Thermiotis’s intimate ceremony at Beit Al Urdon Palace in Amman saw the bride’s future sister-in-law Rajwa Al Saif opt for the Neolitsea dress from Roksanda. The Saudi national proved her style credentials as the future queen of Jordan in a delightful yellow draped cape dress designed by London-based Serbian designer Roksanda Ilinčić using crepe fabric.

Al Saif kept her look minimal when it came to accessorizing with dangling earrings in burgundy and the Knot Intrecciato Gold Mesh Clutch from Bottega Veneta. The newest member of the Jordanian royal family chose to adorn her feet with the Marla 85 mules in satin from the Malone Souliers capsule collection with generational jewelry house L’Atelier Nawbar.
Earlier last week, Al-Saif’s outfit for Princess Iman’s pre-wedding henna party was another example of her impeccable style. It’s safe to say that when her own wedding comes around in June 2023, many will be waiting with bated breath to see what the future queen of Jordan will be wearing in what is sure to be a memorable moment in the region.
