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.

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.

The third iteration of the Miu Miu Select has officially begun, taking flight from within the region this time. For its first stop, the Italian fashion house tapped Dana Hourani to curate a special wardrobe from Miu Miu’s latest season. The Lebanese singer unveiled the pieces in Dubai on May 26, carefully selected from the brand’s ready-to-wear, bag, shoe, jewelry, and eyewear collections, and all customized with a dedicated tag.

Those who keep up with the ‘Ensanein’ singer would know that Hourani’s personal style is her own spin on girl-next-door fashion, putting Miu Miu’s disruptive and individualistic pieces right up her alley. Titled Day Night, her Miu Miu Select wardrobe includes “elevated, everyday pieces that stand out” such as tops with cool details, mini skirts, co-ord sets, and It girl accessories like platforms, colorful hair clips with the brand’s logo, and the coveted mini Miu Wander in a range of fun hues. Hourani describes her capsule as “elegant, fun, and playful,” and goes on to share, “The Day Night Collection is where daywear is merged with eveningwear. This collection is for the self-expressive, it’s for the free-spirited, regardless of age and it’s for the forever young at heart.”

Among the friends of the fashion house who have been enlisted for previous editions of Miu Miu Select are Alexa Chung, Lila Moss, Jessica Kahawaty, Georgia May Jagger, and Chloë Sevigny. After its first appointment in Dubai, the series will make stops in Singapore, Milan, and Tokyo.

“Feelings are the foundation of everything that I do,” says Lebanese singer and visual artist Dana Hourani. First emerging on the fashion scene with her unique brand of style, she debuted in the music industry in 2019 with the deeply personal single “Ella Enta.” Her candid lyrics and musing vocals combined with her uplifting personality have garnered her 208,000 Instagram followers and millions of streams on YouTube and streaming platforms. So who better to team up with Vogue and Swiss fine watchmaker Audemars Piguet on a new short film exploring the connections between fashion and freedom? Part of an ongoing collaborative series to celebrate the unveiling of the latest Royal Oak timepieces, Fashioning Freedom sees Hourani delve into her early sartorial memories and covetable wardrobe to reveal the personal style cues that express her best.

We caught up with the singer at her home in Dubai, where she lives with her husband and daughter Zoe Ray. Well before her crossover into the independent Arabic music landscape, Hourani had established herself as a fashion influencer by documenting her life and style on social media. While she is now moving in the direction of her calling as a singer, her timeless fashion sense follows, as a quick scroll on her Instagram profile would prove. Going through a box of old photographs, the 34-year-old can’t help but find one thing in common with her six-year-old self. “This outfit is reflective of what my style could be today,” she says of a red and black ensemble. “I would have basic pieces but they could have a kind of twist or a unique cut out.”

Over the years, Hourani has perfected the effortless, cool-girl chic look, making it her own with unconventional silhouettes and eye-catching accessories. As for the labels she sports, they come from her version of high-low dressing centered around supporting fellow Arabs in the fashion industry. A signature accessory that ties all her looks together is the latest 34mm Royal Oak Selfwinding in black ceramic, which is both timeless and versatile – like Hourani’s style. “Recreating this look brought me to an old version of myself when I was a lot edgier and daring with the way I dressed,” she says, putting together pieces that resemble the outfit in the photograph. “I feel like now I’m a lot more classic. I go for more of the effortless style, but it was nice to have a look back and remember how I used to dress.”

With her first studio album expected to be released in November 2021, the singer has a lot to look forward to, given the success of her previous tracks “Lahza,” “Zuruni,” “Enti Ana,” and “Yay.” One can only expect her upcoming work to be a soul-searching piece that honors her roots and family. “Feelings direct the motions of who I am,” she shares. “And expressing those feelings is the ultimate freedom for me.”
