DUBAI: Palestinian Chilean singer Elyanna has once again joined forces with British rock giants Coldplay to release a new version of “Ma Meilleure Ennemie,” originally performed by Belgian artist Stromae and French singer Pomme. The reimagined track is the standout addition to the extended soundtrack for Season Two of “Arcane,” the hit Netflix animated series based on the League of Legends universe.

Released over the weekend via Riot Games and Virgin Music Group, the extended soundtrack features a star-studded lineup, including Twenty One Pilots, Stray Kids, King Princess, and D4vd. But it is “Ma Meilleure Ennemie” — French for “My Best Enemy” — that has emerged as a breakout anthem, racking up more than 335 million streams on Spotify to date. It now ranks as the second most-streamed song in the history of “Arcane,” behind only JID and Imagine Dragons’ chart-topping hit Enemy from Season One.

“The incredible response our players had to ‘Ma Meilleure Ennemie’ inspired us to create a new version to celebrate the release of ‘Arcane’ Season Two’s extended original soundtrack,” said Maria Egan, global head of music at Riot Games. “Coldplay and Stromae have wanted to collaborate for a long time, and this felt like the perfect opportunity. Chris Martin’s English verse adds a whole new layer to an already iconic track.”

In a statement, Coldplay added: “We love Stromae and Pomme and the beautiful song they wrote for Ekko and Powder. It’s an honor to contribute to this new version and to the ‘Arcane’ and League of Legends universe.”

Meanwhile, Elyanna has been normalizing Arabic lyrics in the Western world throughout her career, taking inspiration from artists including Lana Del Ray and Beyonce, as well as Middle Eastern legend Fayrouz.

The Los Angeles-based singer’s music is a mix of Arabic and Western beats, which she attributes to her multicultural upbringing.

Last month, Elyanna performed live with British band Coldplay during their four-show run in Abu Dhabi, UAE.

The music sensation has previously hinted at upcoming projects this year, stating: “The sunrise and the rebirth of the ‘Woledto’ project is just (the) start for the next chapter of 2025. Arabic is the music of the soul and the sun. Grateful for all the talented people that believed in this project and helped with the vision to come to life this tour (sic).”

DUBAI: Jordanian Romanian shoe designer Amina Muaddi took to Instagram to celebrate the opening of her corner shop at the iconic Parisian department store Le Bon Marche Rive Gauche.

“Our first Parisian corner shop at @lebonmarcherivegauche is officially open today!! I’m so delighted to finally have a space of our own in the city where @aminamuaddiofficial was founded and in my favorite department store in Paris! So proud of my team. I hope it becomes your new favorite shopping destination,” she captioned the post.

Muaddi launched her eponymous footwear line in August 2018, approximately one year after departing from her role as co-founder and creative director of luxury footwear label Oscar Tiye. 

Her distinct pumps, sling-backs, mules, boots and sandals in an array of vibrant colors and holographic designs have since garnered a loyal checklist of famous fans, including Beyonce, Dua Lipa, Gigi Hadid, Kylie Jenner and Hailey Bieber Baldwin. 

Last month, Muaddi attended the Maison Alaia Summer/Fall 2025 fashion show during Paris Fashion Week.

The footwear designer was spotted wearing an all-black ensemble featuring a sleek leather set with a structured, oversized silhouette. The standout element of her look was a fringe-detailed top that cascaded from her shoulders.

Her hair was slicked back into a bun, complementing her sharp, defined makeup, which featured a bronzed complexion, sculpted brows and a nude glossy lip.

Meanwhile, late last year, Muaddi celebrated a major fashion moment when Beyonce wore her custom Yigit pumps in a teaser for the star’s NFL Christmas Day Halftime Show on Netflix.

Muaddi shared the video on her Instagram Stories. In the clip, the music icon can be seen wearing the satin heels in black and adorned with studs.

In the clip that Beyonce also shared on her Instagram account, the music sensation was seen holding a banjo, a stringed instrument often linked to folk, country, and bluegrass music. She wore a wide-brimmed black hat paired with sleek sunglasses, a colorful patterned cape featuring red and blue hues, and a rhinestone-adorned top. The outfit was completed with black gloves and a black skirt.
