We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again—nothing beats the timeless charm of a little black dress. And it looks like Hend Sabry agrees. Yesterday, the Tunisian star took to Instagram to share a noteworthy outfit: a not-so-basic LBD that proves that it’s always a good idea to reinvent one’s classics. Sabry was seen in an ebony Gucci dress with sheer detailing along the neckline and sleeves, and the most interesting accents. Scroll to check out her full ensemble.

Hend Sabry complemented her Gucci dress with a classic beauty look
Featuring a sharp white collar and matching white cuffs, Hend Sabry’s Gucci dress gave the basic LBD a preppy spin. The outfit also featured chunky gold buttons on the cuffs that stood out against the classic palette of  the dress. For her picture-perfect shots, the actor decided to pair her ensemble with an equally fail-safe beauty look. Sabry opted for matte crimson lips and sharp black winged liner, completing the combination with contoured cheekbones and a super sleek low ponytail with a side parting. As for accessories, the actor opted for another timeless piece—pearl stud earrings—and a selection of delicate rings. Strappy black heels from Aquazzura added the perfect finishing touch.
If you’re a fan of neutral hues, classic cuts and investment-worthy outfits, a semi-sheer black dress like Hend Sabry’s Gucci pick is one you need to bookmark. While you can style it just the way she did for a formal event, you can also spruce things up with a pair of statement heels in a bold shade every now and then.

Etro has unveiled its latest campaign and it features some very special stars, notably Somali-American model Halima Aden and Tunisian actor Hend Sabri.
The Italian label chose Aden and Sabri to star among the diverse line-up for its new Pegasus Club Campaign. Aden and Sabri join models Alton Mason, Elsa Hosk, actor Hikari Mori, rapper Myss Keta, Italian fashion expert Anna Dello Russo, and Spanish socialite Naty Abascal for the campaign which celebrates Etro’s Pegaso bag, which debuted in the brand’s Fall 2020 runway show this year.

The Pegaso cross-body bag is a re-imagined design of a style dating back to the 80s, with its name derived from the winged stallion of Greek mythology, an image that has been synonymous with the brand since 1968. Shot by Dutch photographer Matthias Vriens, the images show the iconic Pegaso bag in two different sizes and versions with a glossy finish in black, red, yellow, and electric blue colors. Vogue Arabia’s Diversity Editor-at-Large, Aden, can be seen modeling the glossy red style, while Vogue Arabia’s September 2020 cover star Sabri is seen holding the blue colorway.
23-year-old Aden is one of the most sought-after models in the fashion world. The former Vogue Arabia cover star was the first model to wear a hijab on international runways in 2016, and the first hijab-wearing woman to be featured on the cover of Vogue. The model and activist, who grew up in a Kenyan refugee camp, has recently celebrated buying her first home, in Minnesota in the US.

Both Aden and Sabri are formidable women in their respective fields, with the Tunisian actor being one of the most in-demand actors in the region. The Egypt-based actor has been a longtime champion of female empowerment in the Arab world, both on and off-screen, often portraying roles that reveal the overlooked complexities of Arab women. Furthering her commitment to inspiring young, regional creatives, Sabri was recently named as the head of the jury panel for a filmmaking challenge to encourage young filmmakers from Saudi Arabia to produce new work.
