From statement-making masterpieces at the Red Sea International Film Festival to ethereal, hand-beaded gowns gracing the steps of the Cannes Film Festival, this year’s red carpets showcased bold silhouettes and unapologetic maximalism – a powerful celebration of the Middle East’s creative authority.
