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.

Her holiday sets include the brand’s skin perfume collection, and a travel-size duo featuring Salted Muse and Nightcap.

Nightcap, launched in August, is reportedly a homage to Hadid’s favorite horse from her childhood. The fragrance has been characterized as warm and spicy, with notes of ginger, cardamom and vanilla.

Salted Muse features top notes of sea salt, pink pepper and carbon dioxide extract, followed by heart notes of olive tree accord, fig and lavender. Its base notes include cedarwood, sandalwood and amber.

Bella’s sister, Gigi Hadid, also released a winter collection for her clothing brand Guest in Residence, featuring sweaters, beanies, scarves and socks in seasonal colors.

Meanwhile, Hammam, a Dutch Moroccan Egyptian model, appeared in red as part of a festive campaign for Estee Lauder, a label she has worked with on multiple occasions.

The model shared images from the campaign on Instagram, showing her posing in a red gown alongside Karlie Kloss and Paulina Porizkova, set against oversized holiday decorations and baubles.

Hammam was announced as a global ambassador for the US cosmetics company in 2023.

She spoke about the appointment in a recent interview with Estee Lauder: “This is the most amazing opportunity to represent and empower girls around the world.

“As a Moroccan-Egyptian woman, I am incredibly honored to take on this role with such a long-standing brand that promotes diversity and women’s empowerment in the beauty space.”

Shaik, an Australia-born model of Saudi, Pakistani and Lithuanian descent, also shared festive content with her followers. In one Instagram post captioned “Holiday party season,” she wears a sparkly maroon halter-neck dress with a plunging neckline.

The post took the form of a “get-ready-with-me” carousel, offering a glimpse of the beauty products she used ahead of a holiday event.
