Second cover story for the @voguearabia March 2024 featuring @kareenakapoorkhan #Repost @voguearabia with @use.repost ・・・ A member of one of Bollywood’s most iconic dynasties, #KareenaKapoorKhan is one of India’s most beloved stars. At 43-years-old, she has given her audience countless hits over her career, and is showing no signs of slowing down, with her new movie ‘Crew’ being launched this month. The secret? “I’ve embraced myself through every decade of working – from 18 to my 20s and 40s, from being a size zero to having two children,” the star shares in this month’s issue. “Beauty is a positive word with a positive emotion, and we should look at it that way.” Themed ‘Beauties of the World’, our #March2024 issue aims to celebrate women of different ethnicities, body types and ages — all with a strong connection to relevant social causes — while reminding us that beauty is not just a physical trait, but a quality that really shines from within.

🎶🎤🇵🇸 My March 2024 Vogue Arabia cover story featuring the fabulous @elyanna #Repost @voguearabia with @use.repost ・・・ Vogue Arabia turns 7 this month with a collector’s edition featuring 7 iconic women. Themed ‘Beauties of the World’, the issue aims to celebrate women of different ethnicities, body types and ages — all with a strong connection to relevant social causes — while reminding us that beauty is not just a physical trait, but a quality that really shines from within. At just 22, Palestinian singer #Elyanna shattered a major glass ceiling last year, when she became the first artist to perform a complete set at Coachella entirely in Arabic. Still, growing up, Elyanna explains there were things about herself she didn’t like, but it’s something she worked hard on – to love herself. “As an artist, I have a lot of responsibility to spread that message. I want young Arab girls to feel confident in their skin and love their curves and curls. No one should be told they need to look a certain way.” Find out more about what’s to come in our anniversary issue on Vogue.me.

Repost @voguearabia After completing his final round of chemotherapy for leukaemia in early 2023, Sheikh Rashid Bin Ahmed Al Maktoum has returned to competitive showjumping – stronger than ever. Together with his wife, fellow equestrian Natalie Lankester, the couple is preparing for international competitions representing the UAE. However, it’s the family life that also keeps the parents busier, specially with the arrival of their third daughter. This month, #VogueArabia met the couple and all three of their children for the first time at their estate in Belgium. “We’ve got the Asian Championships at the end of November, and if we both qualify in dressage and showjumping, it’ll be our first major competition together with the kids in town. It’s our dream to share this journey, not just as riders, but as a family,” Lankester says.

I write multiple stories every month, but there are some that linger long after. This was one of them. It was such a joy speaking to Ayham Hassan about his graduate collection for Central Saint Martins which was both poetic and powerful for the September issue of @harpersbazaararabia @ayham_hassan_99 #harpersbazaar #bazaararabia #september #palestine 🇵🇸

Repost @voguearabia In the latest issue of #VogueArabia, we explore how the sculptural Arab nose – a lasting symbol of identity and heritage – is being embraced on its own terms. Once overshadowed by Western beauty standards, it’s now at the forefront of a shifting narrative shaped by pride and representation. Social media has accelerated this change, challenging archaic ideals alongside Arab creatives who continue to redefine how beauty is portrayed. “There is a definitive shift, and we are seeing more representation of different kinds of beauties from around the world. I see more appreciation for the Arab nose in its different forms, which is a beautiful thing,” says Saudi model and June cover star #TaleedahTamer. “This sends a powerful message that beauty isn’t a single mould, but instead a spectrum.” #septemberissue #vogue
