Camila Cabello can’t get enough of Lebanese designers  

DUBAI: US singer-songwriter Camila Cabello is proving to be a loyal fan of Lebanese designers, stepping out in Andrea Wazen heels this week following a high-profile appearance at the MTV Video Music Awards in a Tony Ward dress.

Wazen took to Instagram to share two photos of Cabello showcasing her designs. In the first, Cabello wore chic black open-toe heels called “Carol,” featuring a slender stiletto and white insole. She paired them with a fitted black halter-neck dress, styled with platinum blonde hair and dark sunglasses. 

In the second photo, she wore the “Carol” heels again, but this time in white. The heels feature a signature strap across the toes with a twist detail at the front. 

 

 

For this look, Cabello opted for a tailored beige blazer and matching mini skirt, paired with a light blue button-down shirt styled asymmetrically. An oversized bow on one shoulder and an untucked hem added a playful, relaxed touch to the polished outfit.

Her Tony Ward dress, worn at the Video Music Awards in September, featured a black lace design with intricate embroidery across sheer fabric. With a fitted silhouette and semi-transparent sleeves, the look was completed by a dramatic black lace veil.

 

 

Trained in Paris and London, Wazen launched her eponymous brand in 2017. Her designs are known for their sleek silhouettes and meticulous craftsmanship.

Recognized for her impact on the fashion world, Wazen has become a prominent name in luxury footwear, putting Lebanese design on the global fashion map. Her creations have been worn by the likes of Jennifer Lopez, Katy Perry, Kylie Jenner, Hailey Bieber, Cardi B, and more.

The latest celebrity to embrace her designs was US actress Sydney Sweeney, who wore the designer’s “Denver” heels in white nappa and mesh.

Additionally, US singer and songwriter Kelsea Ballerini recently attended the premiere of “Doctor Odyssey” in Wazen’s “Rouches” sandals in beige. 

 

 

Beyond celebrity endorsements, Wazen has earned industry acclaim, receiving the Fashion Trust Arabia Accessories Designer Award in 2019 and the Emerging Talent prize at the Footwear News (FN) Achievement Awards in 2020.
