This year, the Cannes Film Festival just got a little brighter, and we’re so excited to tell you why. We’re never this hype unless … yup, you guessed it: three Arab celebs (of course) have officially made their best-dressed debuts at the iconic festival’s 79th opening ceremony! #represent
Fangirling aside, this lineup brought chicness and elegance to the red carpet while still daring to make a statement in a classic yet centred personal signature, be it through curated jewellery, understated sparkle, or feathered sleeves (iconic). From one shameless closet-raider to another, these divas better sleep with one eye open.
Arab celebs eating down also means one very important thing: the Arab designers were the ones cooking up some serious creative genius in the kitchen. Let Cosmo give you the deets:
Laila Zaher
The triple-threat actress, singer, and now super mama surprised us with an impromptu gender reveal in Maison de Couture Rami Kadi. Decked out in Chopard, her look was playful, tasteful, and, most importantly, the kind of elevated signature we’ve gotten used to from Laila. From Cosmo, congrats to the happy couple – a little girl is on the way! 🎀
Maya Aboul Hosn
2023’s Miss Universe Lebanon simply did not miss in structured yet feminine Nicolas Jebran. Was it a bold statement? Yes. Did it do exactly what it needed to? Also yes. Riding off her Ramadan series success, the television host-turned-actress opted for Mouawad jewels to finish her look off with a touch of elegant sparkle. The shawl moment. 😮💨
Jennifer Azar
Nicolas Jebran strikes again with a sweetheart look for Jennifer Azar, and we are honestly here for it. No stranger to Ramadan series success herself, the actress went for a classic white dress that accentuated her figure through fabric play. The star chose curated Hassan Zadeh Jewellery to bring her old money look full circle. 🤍 So, which was your favourite?
