DUBAI: US Somali model Halima Aden was all smiles as she took to social media while in Saudi Arabia.
The catwalk star, who grew up in a Kenyan refugee camp before fleeing to Minnesota with her family, on Sunday shared a couple of images ahead of her talk at the Forbes Middle East Women’s Summit in Riyadh.
“Speaking at the Forbes Summit in Riyadh today! I’m incredibly honored to be with such remarkable women from across ALL industries. Styled by @jasonrembert and hijab from the Halima x @Modanisa collection,” read the caption on Instagram.
Aden is noted for being the first woman to wear a hijab in the Miss Minnesota USA pageant in 2016, where she was a semifinalist.
