DUBAI: The Saudi influencer shares her favorite shows, top trends, and the accessory she would never pair with a little black dress.  

Best TV show or film you’ve ever seen? 

Well, it’s actually an anime series called “Attack On Titan.” But for a live-action show it would be “Stranger Things” for sure. And for a movie, “Interstellar” remains untouched.  

Worst TV show you’ve ever seen?   

I would say “Dynasty.” It was too dramatic for my liking with no good plot.  

Best personal style moment so far?    

I’d say my Red Sea mermaid look at Red Sea Fashion Week.  

Worst personal style moment?    

That’s very tricky because I always hand-pick my outfits and go over them many times to make sure I’m satisfied with the final result.  

Best accessory for a little black dress?    

A choker of pearls is always a stunning option. Or long black gloves. They elevate the look.  

Worst accessory for a little black dress?    

I hate silver accessories for a little black dress. I feel like gold adds a touch of elegance and contrast, whereas silver can sometimes look too muted or harsh against the darkness of the dress.  

Best fashion trend of 2025?    

Bohemian style. I love how effortless, free-spirited and artistic it feels. It really aligns with my personal style. The flowy silhouettes, earthy tones and intricate patterns make every outfit look relaxed and stylish. My favorite pieces are maxi skirts, crochet tops and layered jewelry, especially with natural stones or beads. They add such a unique personal touch. 

Worst fashion trend of 2025?    

Slim-fit pants. I never liked skinny jeans back in the day, and I don’t think I’m going to start loving them now either.  

Best advice you’ve ever been given?   

“Do not take criticism from people you wouldn’t take advice from.” It helps me filter out negativity and focus only on constructive feedback from people whose opinions truly matter. Not everyone’s judgment is valuable or relevant to your growth. It’s been a game-changer for building confidence and staying true to myself. 

Worst advice you’ve ever been given? 

I have been advised to behave a certain way if I wanted to “grow.” That advice made me anxious and disconnected from myself. Then I realized that all it takes is just to be authentic.  

Best book you’ve ever read?    

“The Four Agreements.” I love it because it offers such simple yet powerful principles for living a more peaceful and authentic life. The four agreements are: being impeccable with your word, not taking things personally, not making assumptions, and always doing your best. It completely shifted my mindset. It helped me let go of unnecessary stress, improve my relationships, and focus on personal growth. 

Worst book you’ve ever read?    

I don’t think I have read a bad book so far. You learn something from every book you read.  

Best thing to do when you’re feeling low?    

I like to take a shower with salt to cleanse my energy whenever I am feeling low. And I put on good music and just dance! Dancing does wonders. Afterwards, I feel so much lighter, refreshed and more in tune with myself. The salt shower washes away any negativity, and dancing helps me shake off any stuck emotions. By the time I’m done, I feel re-energized, more positive and ready to take on whatever comes next. 

Worst thing to do when you’re feeling good?    

To not be present. It’s so easy to get caught up in overthinking, worrying about the future, or even scrolling mindlessly on your phone instead of fully enjoying the moment. When you’re not present, you miss out on truly experiencing happiness and appreciating how good things feel.  

Best holiday destination?    

Bali or AlUla for sure. I love the serene beaches, the lush greenery and the spiritual energy of Bali. The culture is so rich, and the people are incredibly warm. It’s the perfect place to relax and reconnect with yourself. And AlUla feels like stepping into another world. It’s such a magical and unique destination. The history and untouched beauty of the place are what captivate me the most — it’s peaceful, mysterious, and awe-inspiring all at once. 

Worst holiday destination?    

Every place holds its own magic.  

Best subject at school?   

 Definitely biology, I am a science girlie!   

Worst subject at school?    

Math. Numbers are my enemy.  

Best thing to do to ensure you have a productive day?   

Wake up early and start with a high-protein meal. That makes me feel more energized, focused and ready to take on the day. Waking up early gives me extra time to set the tone for the day without feeling rushed, and a high-protein meal keeps me full and fueled, preventing energy crashes. When I start my morning this way, I feel more motivated and clear-headed, making it so much easier to stay on top of everything. 

Worst thing to do when you’re trying to have a productive day?    

Procrastinate and get lost in social media. It drains your energy, wastes valuable time and takes you further away from accomplishing your goals, leaving you feeling unproductive and frustrated at the end of the day. 

Best concert you’ve ever been to?   

Coldplay in Abu Dhabi. It was absolutely ecstatic — the atmosphere was just unreal. They really know how to connect with the audience and create this incredible sense of unity. The lights, the visuals, and the way the whole stadium came alive during songs like “Fix You” and “Viva La Vida” was magical. It felt like such a powerful, unforgettable experience. I left feeling like I had been part of something much bigger than just a concert. 

Worst concert you’ve ever been to? 

Justin Bieber. He seemed distracted, and the energy wasn’t what we expected. We’d all been big fans, but it felt like he wasn’t giving his best, which was disappointing. We were hoping for a high-energy, engaging show, but it felt more like he was going through the motions. It definitely didn’t live up to the hype.
