With AFCON happening in Morocco, the energy right now goes way beyond football. It’s about movement, connection, and cultural crossover, and fashion is right in the mix. The Moroccan kaftan and takchita have always traveled well, and when Arab celebrities wear them, it feels less like styling and more like a cultural conversation.
Haifa Wehbe in Maison Fatim (2024)
Haifa Wehbe made jaws drop in this golden-yellow Maison Fatim takchita. Think rich embroidery, sparkling sequins, and flowing fabric that moves with every step. The dramatic sleeves and subtle high slit give it a contemporary edge, while her loose, wavy hair keeps the look effortlessly chic.
Laila Eloui in Maison Fatim (2025)
Wearing Maison Fatim, for Festival International de Cinéma d’Auteur de Rabat, Laila Eloui went deep burgundy velvet. The richness of the fabric, the gold detailing, the crown, all of it felt perfectly at home in Rabat. She beautifully blended into the city’s cultural rhythm while still owning the red carpet.
Hend Sabry in Rafinity Haute Couture (2025)
Hend Sabry’s take was quieter, but just as powerful. Her plum kaftan by Rafinity Haute Couture is clean, elegant, and confident. It’s the kind of look that lets craftsmanship speak first. Styled outdoors, it shows how Moroccan kaftans don’t need a palace setting to feel iconic.
Carmen Soliman in Maison Fatim (2025)
For a concert in Morocco, Carmen Soliman chose an ivory kaftan by Maison Fatim that feels both relaxed and ceremonial. The flowing silhouette is elevated with intricate gold embroidery along the neckline, cuffs, and belt, rich in detail without being overpowering.
Yasmine Sabry in Selma Benomar (2024)
At Fashion Trust Arabia in Marrakech, Yasmine Sabry stepped out in a deep emerald custom made caftan by Selma Benomar. The off-shoulder cut adds a contemporary edge, while the floral embellishments and structured bodice stay true to traditional Moroccan techniques. It’s dramatic, polished, and unmistakably rooted in place.
Dorra Zarrouk (2022)
Wrapped in a soft mint takchita for a magazine photoshoot, heavy on gold embroidery and finished with a statement belt and crown, Dorra leans fully into Moroccan royalty but keeps it modern. The look is dramatic without trying too hard, editorial but still grounded.
Moroccan kaftans and takchitas continue to show up across Arab pop culture, worn on stages and carpets by women who understand their weight and their beauty. Each time, the silhouette shifts slightly, styled differently, worn with a new attitude but the craftsmanship stays intact.
