Bella Hadid nabs Vogue Japan cover

DUBAI: Model of the moment Bella Hadid has nabbed yet another international Vogue cover, this time posing as the cover star for Vogue Japan’s May issue.
The half-Palestinian beauty was shot by French high fashion photographer Patrick Demarchelier and styled by Italian sartorial guru Sissy Vian.
Hadid is seen on the cover, which she shared via her Instagram account last week, wearing a gold, sequined Gucci dress and Bulgari necklace. The regal cover shoot marks the second Vogue Japan cover the much-loved model has landed, with her first appearance taking place in September 2016.
Vogue seems to love the Hadid sisters, with British Vogue choosing to feature the dynamic pair in the sibling’s first-ever dual covers for the magazine’s March 2018 issue.
Photographed by Steven Meisel and styled by Joe McKenna for British Vogue, the pair were interviewed by Vogue’s Giles Hattersley who spoke to them during the photo shoot in New York.

The latest Vogue Japan issue will be available on March 28 and follows Bella’s appearance in Shanghai at the “Dior: The Art of Color” exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art in the city last week.
The 21-year-old IMG Model then jetted across to New York, where she was spotted on Friday morning heading to a photoshoot with Italian fashion heavyweight Donatella Versace.
The 62-year-old designer teased her Instagram followers with sneak peaks of the shoot, saying: “Shooting something very special for you all in New York — and I'm not just behind the camera.”

Arab designers shine bright at the Golden Globes

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.
