Arab models are making runway history, and Paris Fashion Week was proof. From old-money elegance to bold, head-turning statements, these women didn’t just walk—they owned the moment. Here’s a recap of the Arab models who shut it down in the chicest way possible.
Amira Al-Zuhair (Saudi-French)
Amira Al-Zuhair turned heads at the Zimmermann show, stepping out in a fiery burnt-orange dress that hugged her figure with ruched draping. The sleeveless dress brought all the drama to Paris Fashion Week, paired with strappy brown leather sandals and gold statement jewelry—think chandelier earrings and stacked bracelets.
Nora Attal (British-Moroccan)
The Arab model, Nora Attal, served major boss energy at Balmain, stepping out in a black leather trench coat and statement brown fur thigh-high boots. The look was the perfect mix of classic and next-level, channeling Balmain’s new era while keeping it fierce at Paris Fashion Week.
Loli Bahia (French-Algerian)
Loli Bahia kept it effortlessly cool at Louis Vuitton, rocking an oversized coral turtleneck with metallic embellishments. The Arab model paired it with high-waisted brown trousers and a coordinating coat featuring a checkerboard-patterned pocket detail—relaxed yet totally polished.
Bella Hadid (Palestinian-American)
Bella Hadid closed the Saint Laurent runway in a sheer royal blue Yves Klein lace dress with bold angular shoulders. The look was completed with sleek black pumps and a gold choker. Hadid’s hair was slicked back bringing out the Arab model’s features.
Gigi Hadid (Palestinian-American)
Gigi Hadid embraced vintage vibes at Miu Miu, channeling 1920s glam in a double-breasted wool jacket, knee-high socks, and classic brown loafers. A pair of shoulder-grazing metallic earrings added a modern twist to the old-school aesthetic.
Paris Fashion Week was all about bold fashion and even bolder runway moments. These Arab models proved they’re not just part of the industry—they’re shaping its future.
