Amina Muaddi turns heads at Louis Vuitton show in Paris

DUBAI: Jordanian Romanian designer Amina Muaddi attended the star-studded Louis Vuitton show during Paris Fashion Week.

For the event, which took place on Tuesday, she wore a black oversized leather coat with brown trim accents and black feathered detailing along the collar, sleeves and front. She styled it with sheer black tights and leopard-print pointed heels, and accessorized with a structured Louis Vuitton handbag with chain detailing, along with diamond stud earrings.

Inside the venue, Emma Stone joined Zendaya, Jennifer Connelly, Jaden Smith, Ana de Armas and Sophie Turner in the front row.

This season has seen a wave of change, with several major houses debuting new creative directors. Yet at Louis Vuitton, one constant remained: Nicolas Ghesquiere. He has steered the label’s women’s line since 2013 and doubled down on his message this year.

Inside gilded salons, with fall light pouring through 17th-century windows he staged another jump through time. His Spring/Summer 2026 collection fused past and present, with corseted waists, Juliette sleeves, tubular arms and giant silk turbans. Feathered collars mimicked fur, while baggy, sultan-style trousers added an eastern beat. A striped, ruffled coat winked like Pierrot as a bejeweled gown flashed back at the murals.

“The collection is a celebration of intimacy and the boundless freedom of the private sphere,” Ghesquiere said, adding it was “an exploration of archetypes of genre” and the “ultimate luxury of dressing for oneself.”

The set, styled as a contemporary apartment inside the Louvre, pushed the idea of private elegance into public spectacle, while Cate Blanchett’s reading of David Byrne lyrics kept the mood reflective.

Mona Tougaard, who has Danish, Turkish, Somali and Ethiopian ancestry, was among the regional models on the runway. She wore a structured ivory ensemble that featured a high-neck satin top with dramatic ruffled detailing across the shoulders and chest, leaving cut-out sections at the shoulders. The piece was styled with knee-length white shorts.

Nour Arida to launch new skincare brand Sorbe

DUBAI: Lebanese model and influencer Nour Arida is expanding her portfolio by launching her own skincare brand, Sorbe.

The product lineup has not yet been revealed, with the brand set to launch on Nov. 16.

Arida described Sorbe as “multi-effect skincare, rooted in the belief that true beauty begins with feeling better, not trying harder.”

In a statement, she said she noticed a gap in inclusivity across the fashion and beauty industries.

“They all include women of different races, skin colors and body types. Yet they all show only one aspect of a woman — her posing and smiling,” the statement read.

Reflecting this idea, the newly released campaign images show Arida embodying three contrasting moods — crying, smiling and looking shocked.

The model has been promoting her brand for the past two months. In one of the teaser posts, she shared a photo of herself in what appears to be a studio or office space surrounded by boxes labeled Sorbe.

“I’ve received so many PR boxes throughout the years, and some were honestly very cool,” she captioned the post. “But lately, I’ve been thinking… this little thrill shouldn’t be limited to celebrities, creators or media. Why not anyone? Why not share it with you, the people who make this whole journey possible?”

Building on that sentiment, she launched a giveaway competition, saying she would randomly select five followers to receive a gift box. In the same post, she encouraged her audience to follow a temporary page created ahead of the official launch titled “Sorbe Coming Soon.”

“Maybe this time, it’s you who gets the box,” she wrote to her 10.9 million followers. 

In 2023, she was honored with the Arab Woman of the Year award in London, recognizing her advocacy for women’s rights worldwide. She is also the regional brand ambassador for Turkish fashion label Nocturne.

Arida also represents French fine jewelry house Boucheron, fronting multiple campaigns and championing their designs at international fashion events.

Her modeling career includes walking at Paris Fashion Week for brands such as Zadig & Voltaire, Nicolas Jebran and Paco Rabanne. She has also graced numerous international magazine covers and collaborated with beauty and fashion brands including Sephora, Rimmel and MAC.
