Amina Muaddi celebrates Paris opening at Le Bon Marche Rive Gauche

DUBAI: Jordanian Romanian shoe designer Amina Muaddi took to Instagram to celebrate the opening of her corner shop at the iconic Parisian department store Le Bon Marche Rive Gauche.

“Our first Parisian corner shop at @lebonmarcherivegauche is officially open today!! I’m so delighted to finally have a space of our own in the city where @aminamuaddiofficial was founded and in my favorite department store in Paris! So proud of my team. I hope it becomes your new favorite shopping destination,” she captioned the post.

Muaddi 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. 

Her distinct pumps, sling-backs, mules, boots and sandals in an array of vibrant colors and holographic designs have since garnered a loyal checklist of famous fans, including Beyonce, Dua Lipa, Gigi Hadid, Kylie Jenner and Hailey Bieber Baldwin. 

Last month, Muaddi attended the Maison Alaia Summer/Fall 2025 fashion show during Paris Fashion Week.

The footwear designer was spotted wearing an all-black ensemble featuring a sleek leather set with a structured, oversized silhouette. The standout element of her look was a fringe-detailed top that cascaded from her shoulders.

Her hair was slicked back into a bun, complementing her sharp, defined makeup, which featured a bronzed complexion, sculpted brows and a nude glossy lip.

Meanwhile, late last year, Muaddi celebrated a major fashion moment when Beyonce wore her custom Yigit pumps in a teaser for the star’s NFL Christmas Day Halftime Show on Netflix.

Muaddi shared the video on her Instagram Stories. In the clip, the music icon can be seen wearing the satin heels in black and adorned with studs.

In the clip that Beyonce also shared on her Instagram account, the music sensation was seen holding a banjo, a stringed instrument often linked to folk, country, and bluegrass music. She wore a wide-brimmed black hat paired with sleek sunglasses, a colorful patterned cape featuring red and blue hues, and a rhinestone-adorned top. The outfit was completed with black gloves and a black skirt.

Bella Hadid dazzles in archival Georges Chakra

DUBAI: American Dutch Palestinian supermodel Bella Hadid glittered as she stepped out in a stone-detail dress from Lebanese label Georges Chakra when she attended a Valentine’s Day dinner in Los Angeles for her perfume brand Orebella.

A post shared on Orabella’s Instagram Stories on Friday announced: “Last night, we gathered with friends to celebrate the season of love and connection.”

The Lebanese couturier’s official Instagram side also shared some looks, captioning the post: “@BellaHadid stepped out in an archival #GeorgesChakra Couture look from the Spring/Summer 2003 collection for a Valentine’s Day dinner celebrating her brand Orebella.

“The sheer scarlet silk chiffon dress features a fitted bodice and a fluid column skirt, finished with a softly ruffled knee length hem.”

Meanwhile, at the end of last year, Hadid launched Orebella in the Middle East by introducing Ulta Beauty in Kuwait and Dubai.

In June last year, Ulta Beauty awarded the fragrance brand its prestigious Conscious Brand of the Year title, recognizing the label’s commitment to clean ingredients, ethical practices and sustainable packaging.

Orebella, which launched in 2024 with a sell-out line of clean fragrance mists, is rooted in Hadid’s love of scent layering, spirituality and beauty rituals.

Hadid wrote on her website at the time: “For me, fragrance has always been at the center of my life — helping me feel in charge of who I am and my surroundings. From my home to nostalgic memories, to my own energy and connection with others, scent has been an outlet for me. It made me feel safe in my own world.”

The alcohol-free scents of Orebella were Hadid’s answer to traditional perfumes.

“Through my healing journey, I found that I was extremely sensitive to the alcohol in traditional perfumes — both physically and mentally — it became something that was more overwhelming than calming to me,” she added. “That is the main reason I wanted to find an alternative, so essential oils became an artistic and experimental process for me.”

Last month, Hadid took part in a fundraising concert, Artists for Aid, in Los Angeles to support humanitarian relief efforts in Palestine and Sudan, which she co-hosted with Chilean-American actor Pedro Pascal, a longtime advocate for humanitarian causes.

The concert was led by Sudanese-Canadian poet Mustafa and brought together musicians, actors and activists in a show of solidarity.
