Paris Fashion Week might be the global capital of couture, but this season, Arab stars stole the spotlight — from the front rows of Dior and Valentino to the glittering runway of Elie Saab. Whether it was red-carpet-ready glam or effortless street chic, Arab celebs made sure every flash of the camera told a story of elegance. Here’s a look at who sat where — and what vibes they brought to the City of Light.
Salma Abu Deif at Loewe
Salma brought minimalism with a twist in a strapless two-tone mini dress — soft pink on one side and bold red on the other. She kept accessories sleek with strappy heels, a small black handbag, and oversized sunglasses, letting the clean lines and color contrast do all the talking.
Yasmine Sabry at Balmain
Egypt’s own Yasmine Sabry turned up the heat at Balmain in a fierce leather look — structured, bold, and totally Balmain-coded. She paired her outfit with thigh-high boots and a sleek belt, serving pure confidence and luxe energy that had everyone talking.
Marwan Moussa at Christian Louboutin
Rapper and style trailblazer Marwan Moussa brought his signature edge to Christian Louboutin’s show, rocking an all-black quilted set with subtle stud detailing. The matching jacket and pants exuded understated cool, elevated with sleek accessories, dark shades, and polished brown boots. Effortless, confident, and undeniably modern — Moussa proved that minimalism can still make a major statement.
Karen Wazen at Dior
Lebanese fashion icon Karen Wazen made a stylish appearance at Paris Fashion Week, attending the highly anticipated Dior show. She turned heads in a sophisticated all-black ensemble, featuring a double-breasted tailored blazer paired with a matching mini skirt. Completing her chic look with black sunglasses and a classic quilted handbag, Karen embodied timeless elegance with a modern edge.
Mai Omar at Messika
Mai Omar showed up and showed out at the Messika show — serving total glam-core energy. Rocking a dramatic black dress with a high-low silhouette and structured detailing, she was the ultimate mix of chic and fierce. The diamonds? The attitude? Icon behavior.
Anas Bukhash at Elie Saab
Elie Saab’s show got an extra dose of personality thanks to Anas Bukhash. Rocking a bold mustard jacket paired with brown trousers and sneakers, he nailed the “modern menswear” vibe. Clean, confident, and full of flair — exactly what we expect from one of the region’s most stylish men.
Nadine Labaki at Celine
Lebanese director Nadine Labaki brought timeless cool to Celine, rocking a houndstooth blazer, high-waisted jeans, and a white tee — the kind of look that whispers “chic” instead of shouting it. Her oversized sunglasses gave total Parisian muse energy.
Nour Arida at Celine
Model and influencer Nour Arida showed up at Celine exuding sleek confidence. Her black tailored blazer, crisp white shirt, and denim combo nailed the house’s rock-chic aesthetic. Paired with black rectangular shades and a sharp bob, Nour was the definition of “less is more.” Effortless, edgy, and perfectly Celine-coded.
Karen Wazen at Isabel Marant
Karen Wazen brought major drama to Isabel Marant, turning the fur-trimmed bomber and sheer tights look into a total moment. It was bold, unexpected, and unapologetically her — a masterclass in balancing feminine glam with edgy attitude. If “cool girl winter” had a face, it’d be Karen at that show.
Jana and Kenzy Diab at Elie Saab
Jana and Kenzy made a stylish sister statement — Jana in a corseted maroon-and-black lace gown that radiated drama, and Kenzy in a black off-shoulder crop top paired with a sheer floral maxi skirt. Their coordinated dark hues and youthful silhouettes felt fresh yet fashion-forward, proving the Diab sisters are ones to watch.
This season, Arab celebrities didn’t just attend Paris Fashion Week — they owned it. Every look was a reminder that Arab fashion is bold, global, and unapologetically authentic. Paris might be the city of fashion, but this week? It spoke fluent Arab chic.
