DUBAI: Six of the Middle East’s most fashionable Instagram stars are starring in their very own three-part reality show, set to air across the region on E! television channel on Dec. 26.
Available exclusively on OSN or WAVO, the home of such hit shows as “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” and “Rich Kids of Beverly Hills” is set to show off the lives of six Middle Easters social media personalities in a mini-series titled “My Fabulous M.E.”
The three-part series by Sugar Rush Productions features two personalities per episode, including influences from Beirut, Dubai and Kuwait.
The show will feature Kuwaiti star Fatima Almomen, who has 1.2 million followers on Instagram, as well as Kuwaiti Dana Al-Tuwarish, who has 1.8 million followers on the social media platform.
Representing Beirut is Nour Arida, a fashion blogger with 203,000 followers on Instagram. Fellow Lebanese star Lana El-Sahely, with 200,000 followers, will join her on the show.
Dubai-based personalities include Lebanese beauty blogger Maya Ahmad, who has more than one million followers on Instagram and nearly 500,000 subscribers on YouTube. She is joined by 24-year-old Hadia Ghaleb who has 863,000 followers on Instagram and 250,000 fans on Facebook.
DUBAI/ LOS ANGELES: Arab designers dressed a handful of stars at the 83rd Annual Golden Globes on Sunday, with talent from Lebanon, Egypt and Saudi Arabia among the designers to be featured on the awards ceremony red carpet.
Show host Nikki Glaser took to the red carpet at the event in a baby pink gown by Lebanese designer Zuhair Murad.
The outfit, one of many costume changes for Glaser on Sunday night, hailed from his Resort 2026 collection.
For her part, Kylie Jenner was spotted at the awards ceremony in a custom-made silver gown by Saudi couturier Mohammed Ashi, the founder of Paris-based label Ashi Studio.

Irish TV personality Maura Higgins looked elegant in a figure-hugging black gown with a textured golden shawl-like accessory by Dubai-based Egyptian designer Marmar Halim.
Timothee Chalamet and a sea of other stars also said goodbye to color at this year's Golden Globes, opting instead for black.
Ariana Grande left behind her “Wicked” character's signature pink color for a black Vivienne Westwood couture dress but brought back her ponytail. Other notable celebrities in black included Ayo Edebiri, Selena Gomez, Miley Cyrus and Mia Goth.
Edebiri chose a black off-the-shoulder Chanel dress embellished with jewels on the shoulders from Matthieu Blazy’s Métiers d’Art 2026 show.
Celebrities held onto their gowns and watched their steps as they posed for photos on high stairs that served as the red carpet. Like the Met Gala, they lined up at the bottom and had to perilously climb their way up.

The 83rd Golden Globes gives a glimpse into how celebrities will showcase their original take on fashion as the awards season progresses. Since 1944, the show has honored the best in film and television.
The carpet, at The Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California, is a chance for nominees to make a statement, though some are beholden to fashion houses who pay them as ambassadors.
Several, including George Clooney, wore Giorgio Armani. The fashion world lost Armani in September, but his eponymous brand lives on.
“It was nice to see so many attendees, including Julia Roberts and Kate Hudson, wearing the brand and pay tribute,” said Véronique Hyland, fashion features director for Elle.
Stars also shone in metallics. “Sentimental Value” actor Renate Reinsve twirled on the carpet in a shimmery silver tasseled dress by Nicolas Ghesquiere for Louis Vuitton. Her co-star Elle Fanning's Gucci dress was embroidered with Norwegian flowers in honor of their Norwegian drama film.
