Meeting Elie Saab in person for the first time during this event added an emotional layer to her participation.
The evening was a dazzling affair, with models and performers wearing designs that spanned Saab’s illustrious career. From sparkling gowns inspired by the 1920s to bold metallic creations fit for royalty, the show was a testament to Saab’s vision of blending Arab culture with modern elegance. Celebrities like Monica Bellucci, Nadine Nassib Njeim, and others graced the red carpet in Saab’s creations, further solidifying his reputation as a designer of choice for global icons.

Elie Saab’s event not only celebrated his legacy but also highlighted the growing influence of Saudi Arabia as a hub for cultural and artistic events, making the night historic for both fashion and regional entertainment.
