Kelly Clarkson
For the finale of season 19 of “The Voice,” coach and pop singer Kelly Clarkson selected a multi-colored floor-length gown with plunging neckline from Lebanese designer Zuhair Murad. The designer is a hit with US singers — Beyoncé and Jennifer Lopez have also worn his dresses in the past.
Asmaa Galal
Like several of her peers, Egyptian actress Asmaa Galal championed a regional designer on the red carpet for the closing ceremony of the Cairo International Film Festival (CIFF). Galal selected this backless sparkling gown from Egyptian fashion house Shahira Lasheen, accessorized with jewelry from Damas.

The Egyptian actress and former model walked the carpet at CIFF’s closing ceremony in this metallic backless sequined dress detailed with black velvet ruffles, created by Lebanese designer Antoine Kareh’s eponymous label.
Cynthia Khalifa
Lebanese actress Cynthia Khalifa had a busy time at CIFF. “Lovely festival! I had a great week, although I was parallely overwhelmed with overnight shoots,” the 28-year-old wrote on Instagram. For the closing ceremony, Khalifa wore an eye-catching shimmering metallic suit from Cairo’s own Alia El-Esseily’s Fall/Winter 20/21 collection.
Katy Perry
The 36-year-old pop superstar hit the stage at the recent UNICEF Changemaker event in a vivid pink taffeta dress from Bahraini designer Monsoori’s Spring 2021 collection. The voluminous tiered skirt and bow-embellished shoulders made a statement as loud as Perry’s performance of her latest single, “Only Love.”
