Emily in Paris Goes Local: Fashion Icons Across the Region Bringing Cooper’s Energy Home
Since Emily in Paris made a comeback on our screens, with Season 4 taking over our hearts, we once again got swept up in the life of our favorite happy-go-lucky, confident, and “curious” American girl in Paris, Emily Cooper.
The fashion icon, social media guru, and marketing executive inspires us daily as she shares her life with us through her bubbling Instagram profile, “Emily in Paris.”
Who is to say, though, that Cooper is our only inspiration? As a celebration of all things Cooper, let us shine a spotlight on local influencers across the region who share her chic, adventurous, and content-creating vibe!
Noha Elsherbiny
Making it at the top of our list is none other than Noha Elsherbiny, the Egyptian Instagram star and fashion influencer who has been taking us on a fun journey as she shares her life of motherhood, fashion, and much more.
As with Cooper, Elsherbiny is a style icon who can slay some unconventional looks. Back in 2021, she even collaborated with local brand Bazic and introduced the brand to her bold and unconventional style choices.
Her entire journey is impressive. She stepped into the influencer limelight way back in 2013, and look at her today, with more than 348,000 followers keeping tabs and getting inspired by her daily content.
Yasmina Eyad
Taking the fashion world by storm is Egyptian stylist Yasmina Eyad. The fashionista is all about strutting around in the hottest looks and even has her very own clothing brand known as “Yazzi’s World”. She is someone who can pull off any look and even help you out in giving you that touch of confidence when needed.
Being such a popular figure in the fashion world, you can expect to see her at regional events alongside other fashion gurus like Huda Beauty. Like Cooper, she knows how to network and make connections with the finest in the industry.
Nour Arida
Channeling full-on Cooper energy, this is the first influencer in our list who is a Paris-based fashionista. Nour Arida is the 33-year-old Lebanese model and influencer who has years of fashion under her belt.
She worked with many international brands, including French fine jewelry label Boucheron, LVMH-owned French cosmetics brand Makeup Forever, and much more.
Jessica Toutounji
Earning a spotlight following the same glacial pace as Cooper, Egyptian-Italian-Lebanese content creator Jessica Toutounji has been documenting her fashion journey through social media for seven years now.
She lives and breathes fashion, and now, she’s become a go-to in the world of styling. She even launched her very own label called Tunji, a true passion project.
Her social media is fun, creative, and interactive, much like Cooper’s, especially whenever she shares unique styling ideas or posts an entire series about styling outfits with local Egyptian brands only. She also likes to share her expertise through unique workshops about content creation and fashion.
Nojoud
Known as the Saudi fashion icon who has been making strides in the Kingdom, Nojoud Al-Rumaihi knows how to make quite the impression. Just like Cooper, she knows how to keep her followers entertained, whether by sharing her latest fashion finds with her 500K+ followers or her travel adventures.
Gannah Anwar
Okay, we already went through the Paris-based fashionistas and popular influencers, but there is probably no one as similar to Cooper as Gannah Anwar, the 21-year-old Egyptian interning at Dior in Paris. How could you get more Cooper than that?
Each of these ladies has been rocking the fashion world for some time now, tapping into their inner Emily in Paris personas. Tell us, which one is your source of fashion inspiration?
