Celine Dion was undoubtedly the star of the night as the renowned fashion designer Elie Saab celebrated four and a half decades of his illustrious fashion house with a breathtaking event in the vibrant city of Riyadh.
Titled “The 1001 Seasons of Elie Saab,” this once-in-a-lifetime show showcased the designer’s creations and also brought together some of the biggest names in the Middle East, including the likes of Nadine Nassib Njeim, Lojain Omran, Fatima Al Banawi, and Amina Khalil.
The evening was a magnificent display of artistry, featuring beautifully crafted ensembles that were specifically designed for the event. But perhaps the most enchanting aspect of the night was the stellar lineup of musical performances. Highlighting the momentous occasion, the show featured five musical superstars, including Jennifer Lopez, Nancy Ajram, Amr Diab, Camila Cabello, and, of course, the beloved Celine Dion.
