Nadine Nassib Njeim was robbed in Cannes, $20,000 Hermes bag

Al Bawaba01-06-2025
ALBAWABA - Renowned Lebanese actress Nadine Nassib Njeim recently took to social media and revealed that a thief stole a $20,000 Hermes bag from her in France, after she attended the 2025 Cannes Film Festival.
In a clip circulating on social media, the actress expressed her anger towards the incident and mentioned that the robbery occurred after she checked in her bags at the airport.
Additionally, Njeim shared in disbelief that the Emirates Airlines staff are investigating the matter. However, she said that they offered her unfair compensation, which "wouldn't even buy an accessory for the Hermes bag," emphasizing its hefty price.
The robbery sparked widespread debate on social media, with many users raising topics about image and overpaying for luxurious items such as her $20,000 Hermes bag.
Others referenced China's recent videos about luxurious brands, criticized Njeim, and wrote, "Don't be upset, Nadine. Basically, all the international brands are manufactured in China, and their cost is a thousand times less than what you paid."
They added, "I mean, if you paid $50,000, its real price in China is $500. So, you should be upset about your stupidity and the stupidity of others who pay these amounts. Go to China and buy all the brands, and there is a discount there too. Ridiculousness."

Makeup Trends Celebrities Are Embracing This Summer — Shine Like Them With the arrival of summer, a variety of beauty trends are emerging that appeal to many young women and highlight their radiant, lively beauty. If you're someone who likes to stay on top of modern makeup styles, we recommend trying the trends adopted by celebrities during the summer season. Many of them have recently dazzled with stunning eyeshadow colors and lipsticks suited for hot weather — offering you a youthful, striking look. اضافة اعلان Summer makeup for celebrities is known for soft, subtle tones, especially in eyeshadows. Popular shades include pink, nude, and other neutral hues. The preferred look usually leans toward natural, glowing skin — often with a sun-kissed bronze finish — and lipsticks that are mostly light and glossy. Here are some of the top celebrity-inspired summer makeup trends to help you glow with a youthful flair: 1. Soft Earth-Toned Makeup Inspired by Nour Al Ghandour If you're a fan of earthy tones in the summer, take inspiration from actress Nour Al Ghandour. In one of her recent looks, she chose soft earth-tone makeup with warm eyeshadow shades across the eyelids, thick mascara, and a touch of black kohl inside the waterline. Her complexion appeared flawlessly matched to her tan skin tone, complemented by a soft earthy blush on the cheeks, and a glossy, earth-toned lipstick outlined with a soft brown lip liner. 2. Light Nude Makeup à la Daniela Rahme For those who love a minimalist nude look that enhances natural features, try Daniela Rahme's signature style. She recently wore soft nude eyeshadow on her upper lids paired with light coats of mascara. Her skin appeared even and natural with a foundation that matched her fair complexion. She finished the look with nude lipstick that highlighted the natural beauty of her lips. 3. Bold Summer Colors from Fatima AlBanawi Colorful makeup is a summer favorite, especially when applied boldly — perfect for those with a daring and trendy taste. Actress Fatima AlBanawi embraced the trend with vibrant blue eyeshadow that covered the entire upper eyelid, paired with lengthening mascara. Her complexion remained natural and light, enhanced with a bright pink blush on the high points of her cheeks and finished with matte fuchsia lipstick. 4. Pink and Bronze Glow Like Dima Kandalaft If you love pink hues, try the pink-bronze makeup trend worn by Dima Kandalaft. She blended pink eyeshadow across the upper lid with striking bronze highlights in the inner corner. Her lashes were enhanced with thick mascara, and black eyeliner defined her eyes. Her complexion was warmed with a bronzy finish and luminous bronze blush, while her lips were adorned with a pink-bronze lipstick outlined in light caramel lip liner. 5. Bold Red Lip from Mila AlZahrani One of the season's standout trends is the bold red lip — a look embraced by Mila AlZahrani at the Cannes Film Festival. Her classic makeup featured a sleek eyeliner across the upper lid, voluminous lashes, a smooth, unified complexion, and a striking red lipstick that made her lips the star of the look. 6. Classic Bronze Glam by Noor Ali Bronze makeup continues to dominate summer beauty trends. Actress Noor Ali dazzled in a bronzy glam look featuring bronze eyeshadow on the moving lid, intense mascara, a radiant bronzed complexion, and nude lipstick — perfect for lovers of golden, sun-kissed tones.

AUB Alumni Reunion 2025: Honoring Legacy, Celebrating Community

American University of Beirut (AUB) alumni, along with families and friends, came together to celebrate the AUB Alumni Reunion 2025 through a series of meaningful events held between June 19 and 21. While the annual reunion is a cherished tradition for AUB graduates, it holds special significance for alumni celebrating their 25th, 50th, or more-than-55-year anniversaries. These milestone classes are formally honored during a ceremony at AUB Assembly Hall, which marks the official launch of a three-day reunion the Honoring Ceremony, Associate Vice President for Development, Alumni Relations, and University Events Salma Dannawi Oueida welcomed the guests with moving remarks. 'This bond between you and AUB isn't tied to a graduation year; it's something deeper. It's the quiet pride you feel when you hear of a student breaking barriers. It's the comfort of seeing old classmates and knowing that this place still feels like home. As we look around this room, we see more than alumni. We see torchbearers. Bridge builders. Guardians of a legacy,' she his keynote address, AUB President Fadlo Khuri reflected on the university's enduring mission and future direction: 'We're proud of the impactful AUB education that we provide—and our extraordinary alumni—but it's not enough. Our university must do more for the communities beyond our walls. And that is what we are doing. We are transforming, introducing new programs—even new faculties—while holding tight to the values that have made this institution great.'Khuri also shared updates from campus and affirmed the essential role of alumni: 'There have been some changes at your alma mater. But some things do not change. At the top of that list is the importance of our alumni—of all of you: You lead, you inspire, you innovate, and you give back—so that others may have life and have it more abundantly. You have stepped up time and time again in support of our abiding mission: to serve the peoples of Lebanon, the Middle East, and beyond to the greatest of our abilities. Thank you.'Keynote speaker Hussein Ammar, representing alumni celebrating their 50th year graduation anniversaries, delivered a poignant reflection. A 1975 graduate with a bachelor's degree in civil engineering, Ammar built a successful career managing construction companies in the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia. A founding member of the AUB Alumni Chapter in Jeddah, he has remained closely connected to the university as a mentor to graduates and a loyal, generous donor.'We celebrate today our graduation from 50 years ago; and it would be remiss not to reflect on how those years affected our beloved Lebanon,' he said. 'We endured a civil war, wars of others on our land, and external control that has gripped our country and regressed it to levels unimaginable. None of us graduating in 1975 could have anticipated what ensued. We were pioneers and we have fallen far behind.'He continued by highlighting AUB's enduring role through decades of turmoil: 'While all this transpired, AUB has persevered, affirming its noble mission. AUB has continued to be a beacon of learning and open thought in Lebanon, in the Arab world, and beyond. It has stood as a moral compass and safe haven in the face of unimaginable adversity. It has continued to bring Lebanese and Arab students from all walks of life, all religions and all political affinities into one common space—a space for debate, for listening, for learning, for growth. AUB is a microcosm of what Lebanon could be.'Class of 2000 keynote speaker Dana Hussein Ammar (BBA '00) represented alumni marking their 25th graduation anniversary. A strategic business and brand consultant, she also runs a motherhood mentorship platform and has over 20 years of experience spanning global corporations, social impact ventures, and food retail startups. She comes from a distinguished multi-generational AUB family and is the daughter of Class of 1975 speaker Hussein Ammar.'To think that my father, mother, and I sat under the same trees and walked the same steps on this campus, gives all the more meaning and exemplifies the longstanding legacy and sacredness of our alma mater,' she to the future, she pointed to the power of alumni to make a difference: 'Having shared precious years and memories on this campus, we now have the privileged position to impact and give back. Some will aid students financially, others through mentorships, grants, opportunity building, and the like—the bravest even get into politics. All of it is vastly appreciated by the communities we support.'The Honoring Ceremony featured the distribution of medals to members of the celebrated senior classes. It concluded with a group photo of the iconic AUB Main Gate stairs and a lively reception at the Assembly Hall Plaza. Festivities continued on campus with the annual Alumni Party featuring Alecco and his band, where hundreds of alumni, joined by their families and friends, enjoyed a vibrant atmosphere and high-energy the following evening, more than 2,000 attendees gathered at the AUB Green Oval for an unforgettable evening under the stars. The atmosphere was electric as Lebanese superstar Nancy Ajram lit up the stage with her timeless hits, and the crowd sang along in pure joy. The concert was a beautiful mix of nostalgia, energy, and pride—bringing together alumni, students, families, and friends for a magical night that perfectly captured the spirit of AUB Reunion. All proceeds from the concert will go toward supporting the class reunion scholarship fund, reinforcing the event's mission of giving back and empowering future generations.
