From Yasmine Sabri to Mai Omar, Here’s How Regional A-Listers Are Taking Paris Fashion Week By Storm
From feathers galore to slick back hair and statement jewels, here’s what our favourite regional creatives wore to the most glamourous week in the fashion industry
Paris Fashion Week 2022 went by faster than we could even blink with some of the most extravagant runway shows in fashion history. For instance, Bella Hadid’s innovative spray-on dress by Coperni and Kanye’s debut as a catwalk model on his own Yzy Szn 9 Fashion Show.
And that’s not all, regional A-listers didn’t shy away from their on-point ensembles, like Karen Wazen’s super chic black Rick Owens gown or Negin Mirasalehi’s barbiecore Valentino moment, that gave us endless amounts of style inspiration.
If you thought Milan Fashion Week was as glam as could be, then you’re in for a treat. Here Bazaar Arabia shares the best-dressed regional celebrities from this year’s Paris Fashion Week.

The founder of honey-based haircare products brand, Gisou, and Harper’s Bazaar Arabia‘s July-August cover star donned the shade of the season – Valentino Pink – wearing an ensemble from the label’s Pink PP Collection.
