Arab Style Stars Represent The Region at New York Fashion Week | #StyleFiles
Alaa Balkhy
Harper’s Bazaar Saudi’s Contributing Editor, Alaa Balkhy, has definitely been taking Fashion Week by storm. The content creator has so far attended Carolina Herrera, Coach, and Michael Kors – and we’ve been bookmarking her stylish outfits.
From a zebra-printed trench coat and flamingo-inspired fur jacket, to a snake-printed dress and patent leather trench, there seems to be an animal theme throughout. These are some of the looks she’s shared from the shows.
Nada Baeshen
Saudi creator and media personality Nada Baeshen has also been a regular fixture at New York Fashion Week. She started off looking edgy at La Pointe wearing pistachio green from head-to-toe. Then, at Carolina Herrera, a lilac gown came out to play, which featured a peekaboo black bustier and black petticoat underneath.
We also got a glimpse of an all-grey sequined number she wore to the Michael Kors showcase while mingling with Aalaa and fellow Arab creators.
Abla Sofy
Model Abla Sofy is as glamorous as they come. The Moroccan-born beauty has attended Tom Hilfiger, Carolina Herrera, and Tory Burch – and we’re waiting patiently for an outfit reveal of the look she wore to the Michael Kors show yesterday.
Diala Makki
TV presenter Diala Makki looked dapper at Tory Burch. The Dubai-based media personality wore a shimmery black corduroy suit to the showcase. She finished off the look with slicked back hair and a silver clutch. She also attended the Carolina Herrera showcase and can be seen wearing a lace, periwinkle blue gown and matching blazer to Michael Kors in a few images posted on IG Stories.
Jood Aziz
Saudi model and actress Jood Aziz was also in attendance at Tory Burch. She stunned in a printed, sheer, black and white gown, while opting for a belted black number at Carolina Herrera.
In addition to the regional sartorial set, modest models boasted a strong presence on the catwalk…
Ikram Abdi Omar
Hijabi model Ikram Abdi Omar looked fierce on the catwalk of Prabal Gurung. The Harper’s Bazaar Arabia cover star stunned in a baby blue power suit, feathered coat, black gloves and a black headpiece.
Afterwards, she transformed into a catwalk queen, walking the runway of Sergio Hudson. She donned tailored plaid pants, a belted brown coat and black undershirt.
Halima Aden
Fellow Hijabi model Halima Aden made her fashion return as she attended the Carolina Herrera showcase on Tuesday. For her appearance, Aden opted for a vibrant pink ensemble comprising a pencil skirt and button-down blazer boasting puffy sleeves. She accessorised with a gold clutch handbag, pink statement earrings, and beige-coloured headscarf.
