Styled Archives: When MENA Celebrities Rocked Lace
Whether draped, sheer, or sculpted, lace became something sharper in these moments. A look back at how MENA icons made it anything but traditional. Jul 24, 2025 In 2001, Fairuz performed in Kuwait City wearing a black lace gown, backed by a 48-piece orchestra. The look was spare and exacting. A year later, Samira Said opened the Dubai Shopping Festival in a lace-trimmed top and low-slung trousers, styled for early-2000s stage glamour. At her 2003 concert in Cairo, Haifa Wehbe wore sheer black lace, a jewel-studded belt, and smoky eyes. In 2004, Elissa performed in Kuwait City in white lace layered over a scarlet slip. Nancy Ajram's 2006 Muscat Festival look featured a flared lace skirt designed for movement. On the red carpet, lace remained precise. Lebleba wore it with shoulder bows at DIFF in 2008. In 2012, Najwa Karam appeared at Cannes in a white mermaid-cut lace gown. At CIFF in 2016, Elham Shahin wore black lace with sheer sleeves and a flowing skirt. In 2017, Laila Elwi paired velvet with a lace panelled skirt. Rym Saidi wore a hooded black lace cape to the 2023 Red Sea Film Festival. In 2024, Nelly Karim appeared at the Discobolo Awards in a lace corset, tailored trousers, and a long black coat. These moments offer a cross-section of how lace has moved through stages and red carpets across the region - one fabric, countless statements. Fairuz | Kuwait City Concert (2001) Performing with a 48-piece orchestra, Fairuz wore a black lace gown that matched the gravity of her voice; elegant and commanding. Samira Said | Dubai Shopping Festival (2002) On stage in a lace top, Samira Said made delicate look commanding. It was early 2000s glamour with just enough edge to match the vocals. Haifa Wehbe | Cairo Concert (2003) Serving goth glam before it was cool, Haifa hit the stage in black lace, smoky eyes, and a jewel-studded belt that cinched the whole look. Elissa | Eid Concert, Kuwait City (2004) White lace over a scarlet slip, Elissa turned contrast into a statement. Soft, striking, and just a little impossible to look away from. Nancy Ajram | Muscat Festival (2006) Nancy kept it sweet with a playful twist, letting lace take over from the waist down. Flirty, fun, and made to move with every beat. Lebleba | Dubai International Film Festival (2008) Softened by shoulder bows and framed in lace, Lebleba's look was equal parts sweet and striking. A red carpet moment with old-school charm. Najwa Karam | "Vous N'avez Encore Rien Vu" Premiere (2012) Wrapped in white lace and cut to a mermaid silhouette, Najwa Karam brought a Levantine flair to the Cannes red carpet with a look that was all poise and presence. Elham Shahin | Cairo International Film Festival (2016) Lace traced the sleeves, cut through the bodice, and flowed into a sheer skirt below. Elham Shahin's 2016 look played with coverage and contrast, turning classic black lace into something confidently bold. Laila Elwi | Cairo International Film Festival (2017) Laila Elwi took the red carpet in a velvet and lace gown that did elegance without effort. A sheer panel down the skirt gave the look movement, while the sculpted bodice kept it sharp and statuesque. Rym Saidi | Red Sea International Film Festival (2023) Rym Saidi walked in draped in sheer black lace, hooded cape and all. Somewhere between haute couture and witchcraft. Nelly Karim | Discobolo Award, Rome (2024) Lace corset, long black coat, and tailored pants. Nelly Karim showed up like a fashion noir heroine. Cool, controlled, and fully in charge.
