PRESENTING “EL NADY” FW24. FEATURING: @davemerheje @kareem @noore @calamawy @zainabjohnson Full collection now available in-store and online – choose wisely. 👀
For its final cover of the year @madamearabia wanted to shine a spotlight on the Egyptian actor May Calamawy (@calamawy). Already the world’s first Arab Marvel superhero, Calamawy is a force of nature talent that can take on any film genre with the ease of someone who is both self-aware and self-assured. “I’m grateful that I love myself – well, at the very least, that I’ve grown to learn how to champion myself, believe in myself, and not be mean to myself. And that, I think, has taken work that comes at a later age, ”she shares in this issue’s cover story. Besides her transformation into the Scarlet Scarab for Marvel, the Egyptian actor also wowed fans with her turn as Dena in three seasons of the critically acclaimed dramedy Ramy. It’s a character that gives the Arab woman a depth and complexity that’s often missing in the single dimension continually portrayed through the Western gaze. Upending stereotypes is something Calamawy seems particularly talented at. In her next role, in the upcoming film The Actor, she will be flexing her acting chops by playing five distinctly different parts. It was a challenge that she relished as it allowed her to stretch as an actor and show the world the breadth and width of her abilities. With each project, Calamawy is determined to sculpt a future where her passion for storytelling is the driving force. It is this sort of focused intention that makes her an actor that we should all be keeping our eye on. Tap the link in the bio to read the full cover story interview.
