Met Gala after Met Gala, we’re reminded that the region’s it-girl brands will never miss when it comes to serving the greatest fashion moments.
This year, while Thome Browne, Chanel, and Swarovski took the spotlight, it seems one Arab designer quietly became the true queen on the blue carpet.
It’s quite known that Jordanian-Romanian shoe designer Amina Muaddi has been A-lister approved since day one. From being the go-to brand of the Bad Girl RiRi to billionaire Kim Kardashian, Amina Muaddi is arguablt the biggest Arab designer name in 2025.
Surely enough, when the high-octane energy of the Met Gala swung by earlier this week, we at Cosmo ME HQ braced ourselves for major fashion flops than slay. But we were happily proven wrong.
This year, Hollywood’s biggest names decided to show up and show out wearing Amina Muaddi.
Wearing Marc Jacobs and showing her new baby bump, the iconic Rihanna has yet again shown her obvious love for a pair of custom Amina Muaddi pumps. This time, s particularly wore the spectator mules in black and white patent leather.
She’s the queen of drama but she’s also the queen of fashion takes. The SKIMS founder, Kim Kardashian wore a plunging Chrome Hearts dress, but for her heels? Oh, it’s just custom lace-up boots in Croc leather.
But she didn’t stop at just the blue carpet. Spotted later that Monday Night in New York City, she wore the best-seller ANOK pumps to the after-party.
Clearly, Amina Muaddi is the favourite. Aside from pop diva Rihanna and Kim Kardashian, a slew of other celebrities were also spotted wearing a pair of coveted heels including, legendary actress Regina King, supermodel Vittorria Cerrati, and Nigerian-singer Ayraa Starr.
