Rahma Riyad Instagram – Our December Cover Star & Iraqi singer Rahma Riad is among those on the road to meteoric fame, and speaking to ELLE Arabia she reflects on fame, her musical journey and closing the FIFA World Cup in Qatar. We also speak to various artists and entrepreneurs making their mark and spreading our heritage near and far – from music, fashion, sports and art. All in all to celebrate this year – and the years to come – we’ve put together an issue bursting with the most festive looks, the most dazzling jewelry and the boldest makeup. We hope this issue brings you hope and joy, and we wish you a happy end of to a great 2022! @rahmariadh decked up in @tiffanyandco high-end jewelry collection wearing an outfit by @halston Publisher: Valia Taha @valiataha Editor in Chief: Dina Spahi @dinaspahi Senior Editor: Dina Kabbani @dinakabbani Photographer: Amer Mohamad @shootmeamer Styling & Creative Direction: Jade Chilton @jadestyledirector Production Coordination: Farah Abdin @farahabdin Makeup: Sofia Tilbury @sofiatilbury using Charlotte Tilbury makeup @charlottetilburyarabia Hair: Ivan Kuz @ivan_kuz Location: Caviar Kaspia @caviarkaspiadxb Caviar Kaspia Dubai
