Runways at Paris Fashion Week are always a spectacle, but sometimes it’s the models themselves who bring the extra spark. This season, a number of Arab faces stepped onto some of fashion’s most coveted runways, each bringing their own presence and style to the moment. From textured tailoring at Nina Ricci to sheer lace drama at Saint Laurent, these looks were proof that Arab models are continuing to shape the energy of the Paris catwalk.
Amira Al Zuhair Walks the Nina Ricci Runway
Saudi model Amira Al Zuhair brought effortless confidence to the Nina Ricci runway. Her look paired a structured animal-print jacket, finished with soft floral details at the shoulders, with a flowing olive skirt that moved easily as she walked.
A matching patterned bag with a long trailing strap added a playful touch, while sheer tights, statement heels, and a choker tied the look together. The result felt eclectic but polished—structured tailoring softened with unexpected details.
Loli Bahia Closes the Saint Laurent Show
As the show drew to a close at Paris Fashion Week, French-Algerian model Loli Bahia delivered a striking final moment for Saint Laurent.
She stepped onto the runway in a sharply tailored black suit featuring strong shoulders and deep satin lapels, worn without a top for a dramatic plunging neckline. Wide-leg trousers added fluidity to the structured look.
With slicked-back hair, smoky eyes, statement earrings, and a sleek black clutch, Bahia embodied Saint Laurent’s signature blend of power and effortless glamour—an elegant closing note to the show.
Malika El Maslouhi Walks the Nina Ricci Runway
Moroccan model Malika El Maslouhi delivered a softer, more fluid moment on the Nina Ricci runway. Her silky rose-gold suit caught the light with every step, giving classic tailoring a luminous twist.
Underneath, a teal satin top added a pop of color, while layered fabrics and draped textures brought movement to the look. It felt relaxed but striking, the kind of outfit that turns simple tailoring into something a little more playful.
Bella Hadid Walks the Saint Laurent Runway
At Saint Laurent, Bella Hadid embodied the house’s signature sultry aesthetic. Her sheer lace dress featured intricate black embroidery layered over a nude base, creating a dramatic contrast.
With its sleek silhouette, delicate lace hem, and bold earrings, the look captured the confident, seductive edge that defines Saint Laurent.
A Strong Presence on the Runway
From textured tailoring to fluid satin and daring lace, these runway moments highlight the growing presence of Arab models at Paris Fashion Week. With names like Amira Al Zuhair, Malika El Maslouhi, and Bella Hadid in the mix, it’s clear the region’s talent continues to leave its mark on the global fashion stage.
