Kylie Jenner champions Arab designer at ‘The Kardashians’ premiere 

DUBAI: US reality TV star and beauty mogul Kylie Jenner made her first red carpet appearance after the birth of her son, wearing an Arab designer.  

The entrepreneur wowed fans with her eye-grabbing look at the premiere of her family’s Hulu show “The Kardashians” at Goya Studios in Los Angeles this week.

Jenner, who shares two children with rapper Travis Scott, chose to wear a white skin-tight latex dress from Parisian ready-to-wear and accessories brand Coperni’s Fall 2022 collection. The dress featured simple floral embellishments on the chest.  

The Kylie Cosmetics and Kylie Skin founder also opted for a pair of white thigh-high boots from Jordanian-Romanian designer Amina Muaddi, that were custom-made for the star. 

Muaddi is one of the Kardashian-Jenner family’s favorite designers. 

The 34-year-old, who grew up in Italy, launched her eponymous footwear line in August 2018, approximately one year after departing from her role as co-founder and creative director of luxury footwear label Oscar Tiye. 

Earlier this week, Kylie’s elder sister Kendall Jenner was spotted wearing the designer’s Lupita glass slippers, and in June 2021, Kylie was spotted sporting another pair of Muaddi’s white boots called Pernille, which she paired with a handbag by the brand of the same name.

Besides the Kardashian-Jenner family, Muaddi’s distinct pumps, sling-backs, mules, boots and sandals — in an array of vibrant colors and holographic designs — have garnered a loyal checklist of A-list celebrities, including Dua Lipa, Gigi Hadid, Beyonce, Rihanna and Hailey Bieber Baldwin.

Several other members of the Kardashian-Jenner family, including Kim Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Kourtney Kardashian and Khloe Kardashian, also attended the premiere last week. 

Kim posed for pictures with comedian Pete Davidson, while Kourtney attended the event with her partner, drummer Travis Barker.

Review: ‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms’ is an oddball comedy worthy of Westeros

DUBAI: At a time when the sprawling saga of “Game of Thrones” and its prequel “House of the Dragon” have come to define modern fantasy television, “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms” emerges as an unexpected offering.

Based on George R.R. Martin’s “Tales of Dunk and Egg” novellas, the six-episode HBO series — created and spearheaded by showrunner Ira Parker alongside Martin — gives viewers a story that is not about dragons or imperial politics, but about two unlikely companions navigating a treacherous and unforgiving world from its humbler margins.

From the opening moments of the premiere, where the familiar “Game of Thrones” theme music is undercut in a moment of shocking levity, the show makes clear that we are far away from the grand halls of Casterly Rock, the Red Keep or even Winterfell. Grounded and whimsical, this is Westeros viewed from muddy inns, dusty roads and makeshift jousting camps.

Peter Claffey as Ser Duncan “Dunk” the Tall is the beating heart of the series. Claffey imbues Dunk with an endearing earnestness — a towering, awkward figure, constantly walking into doors, whose moral compass is as unwavering as his endless appetite.

His chemistry with Dexter Sol Ansell’s young squire, Egg, who has deep secrets of his own, is warm and organic, creating a duo that is as compelling as any knight and squire of fantasy lore. Their dynamic gives the story a cozy, almost heartfelt buddy-adventure quality.

What makes “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms” so captivating isn’t its lack of spectacle. It has plenty of Westerosi trappings and there’s a sizeable helping of Targaryens and Baratheons and who have you. But its choice to focus on everyday courage, loyalty and the messy, funny, sometimes mundane reality of being a hedge knight truly makes this a worthy addition to the “Game of Thrones” screen universe. We hope there’s more where that came from.
