From Nadine Nassib Njeim to Bella Hadid, take a look back at the best dressed Arab celebrities seen over the years at Cannes Film Festival.
Since 1946, the Cannes Film Festival has evolved into one of the most prestigious events in the world of cinema and fashion. Held annually in Cannes, France, the annual celebration attracts filmmakers, actors, and celebrities from around the globe. And over the years, Arab celebrities and designers have played a significant role in shaping the festival’s cultural landscape and delivering iconic style moments, forever leaving the region’s mark on fashion — and cinema — history.
Today, the Middle East’s favorite celebrities are Cannes regulars, adding their own unique flavor to the red carpet with glamorous ensembles. From Bella Hadid to Nadine Nassib Njeim, these beauties bring star power and style in abundance to the French Riviera. Beyonce celebrities, Arab designers like Elie Saab, Zuhair Murad, and Rami Kadi have also had the chance to use Cannes as their fashion stage, showcase Arab style at its finest time and again.
As the 77th Annual Cannes Film Festival approaches on May 14, Arab designers and celebrities are expected to steal the show once again. From Tara Emad and Razan Jammal’s regal Chanel outfits, to Yasmine Sabri‘s Rami Kadi gown, and of course, Mona Zaki’s debut last year in Zuhair Murad, here’s a look back at all the best dressed Arab celebrities seen at the prestigious film festival over the years.
