Madonna enjoys a holiday in Morocco

  • Visit blends culture, fashion, architecture, ritual
  • Shares images of boyfriend and twin daughters

DUBAI: Pop icon Madonna has been spending time in Morocco, sharing a series of images that document a richly layered visit across the country, blending culture, fashion, architecture and ritual.

On Instagram recently she shared glimpses of the trip with her 20.1 million followers. The visit appears to span several locations and moods. In one set of images, Madonna is seen exploring local markets lined with rows of leather goods stacked floor to ceiling.

Dressed for winter, she wears a long fur coat and matching hat, carrying a large woven tote, blending into the earthy tones and textures of the space.

Another moment highlights Morocco’s famed hospitality, with a traditional mint-tea service captured mid-pour. A server in ceremonial attire pours tea from an ornate silver teapot into colorful glasses, set against an intricately tiled interior.

Architectural details feature prominently throughout her photo series. Several images focus on elaborately decorated interiors, from carved plaster walls and geometric zellige tilework to arched ceilings and mosaic floors.

One wide shot shows a grand seating area lined with patterned cushions beneath an ornate archway, showcasing the craftsmanship and symmetry that define traditional Moroccan design.

A dramatic candlelit dinner scene adds another layer to the journey. Set under tall arches, the long dining table has candelabras, crystal glassware and traditional dishes, while a white horse stands calmly at the far end of the space.

Madonna also shared a close-up portrait taken in soft light, wearing statement sunglasses, diamond earrings and a fur-collared coat, offering another fashion moment within the travel narrative.

In the final images, Madonna is photographed lighting candles inside what appears to be a historic religious or sacred space.

She captioned the post: “Moroccan Holiday.”

The singer also offered fans a look at her festive celebrations, sharing images from a photoshoot with her boyfriend, Akeem Morris, and her 13-year-old twin daughters, Stella and Estere.

Posing in front of a red backdrop decorated with a Christmas tree and disco balls, she wears a white satin mini dress with lace-trimmed short sleeves, square neckline and playful hemline, styled with fishnet tights, gold satin opera gloves and her signature glamour.

Coach taps Elyanna for Spring 2026 campaign

  • Chilean Palestinian singer also fronted firm last year
  • Star has made a donation to World Food Programme

DUBAI: Chilean Palestinian singer Elyanna is fronting yet another campaign for Coach, this time an “Express Your Many Sides” Spring 2026 initiative unfolding exclusively in the Middle East.

Across the campaign images, the focus is placed on the US fashion house’s leather bags, shown in a range of shapes and sizes.

Elyanna is pictured carrying the Tabby 26, distinguished by its structured flap silhouette and signature metal “C” hardware, presented in a warm maple tone.

Other styles include a compact shoulder bag with a curved profile and a larger, softer leather bag designed to sit under the arm. The bags appear in smooth and lightly grained leather finishes, styled in both light and darker colorways.

In the images, Elyanna’s wardrobe is kept understated to complement the accessories. She wears lightweight layers, including fitted long-sleeve tops paired with sleeveless vests and fluid trousers in neutral shades.

She also appears in a sheer, pale green dress layered over a long-sleeve base, patterned with small heart motifs.

Last year, Elyanna was the face of Coach’s Ramadan 2025 campaign. She was seen against a desert-inspired backdrop, styled in pieces that blended contemporary fashion with cultural influences.

The music sensation also carried Coach’s signature handbags, each featuring the gold chain accents.

Elyanna said in a statement: “Working with Coach again felt natural because it’s a brand I love and connect with in terms of lifestyle and expression.

“We’re aligned in our values, and it was great to be a part of it again for another year because it continues to reflect that alignment. I was also able to donate to the World Food Programme through our partnership once more, which means so much to me.”

Elyanna has been normalizing Arabic lyrics in the Western world throughout her career, taking inspiration from artists including Lana Del Ray and Beyonce, as well as Middle Eastern legend Fayrouz.

The Los Angeles-based singer’s music is a mix of Arabic and Western beats, which she attributes to her multicultural upbringing.

Her debut album “Woledto,” released in 2024, featured nine songs: “Woledto,” “Ganeni,” “Calling U,” “Al Sham,” “Mama Eh,” “Kon Nafsak,” “Lel Ya Lel,” “Yabn El Eh” and “Sad in Pali.”
