Not only does our Summer Issue Cover Star Elyanna sing in Arabic, but she also honours her Arab roots by showing the culture some love through fashion and beauty. Styling the Palestinian keffiyeh *properly*, using belly dancing tangles and skirts in her music videos, and constantly showing love to the Middle East is what this rising star is all about.

Just at the age of 20, Elyanna has already amassed more than 12 million views on her single ‘Ana Lahale,’ and since then she’s collaborated with the likes of Lana del Rey, Massari, and Issam Al Najjar.
Similar to her fire fashion sense, the Palestinian-Chilean singer is known to never shy away from a smokey eye, killer liner, and a flawless finish. In celebration of the songstress’ Summer Issue cover reveal with Cosmo ME, she filmed a lil GRWM, recreating Arab noughties glam that we all know and love.

The star smokes out her eyeshadow and blends it to ~perfection~ in order to master this look. We think Lebanese pop star Haifa Wehbe would have followed the exact same beauty routine in the ’00s – anyone else??
