The Six: Bahraini label Noon by Noor shows off at NYFW

DUBAI: Bahraini womenswear label Noon by Noor showcased its latest line at New York Fashion Week on Thursday — here are some of our favorite looks.

Chic pleats

Demure, floor-length pleats and a rainforest green silk blouse with quirky details on the shoulder, this look is an ideal daytime option.

Back to black

The rouched sleeves and extended cuffs on this diaphanous blouse make for subtle yet gorgeous detailing in an otherwise run of the mill outfit.

Match point

Pairing coral sleeves with a voluminous tan coat worked so well it left us wondering why we haven’t seen more of this winning color combination over the years.

Classic coat

Camel colored coats have long been feted as the ultimate in sophisticated, working woman glamor and this flowing jacket is a wonderful update on the usually structured closet staple.

Fuss free

This structured yellow-and-black look wouldn’t look out of place on an edgy art curator — it’s stylish, bold and unfussy.

Coral on the catwalk

The Pantone Color Institute named “Living Coral” as 2019’s color of the year and the designers seem to have caught on — this cheerful look is young and fun, but remains true to Noon by Noor’s chic vibe.

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.
