Making her highly anticipated Cannes Film Festival debut, Emirati singer Balqees Fathi turned heads in a breathtaking white Giambattista Valli gown. The romantic creation, a testament to the ‘mermaidcore’ trend, featured an off-the-shoulder neckline, sheer sleeves, and a fishtail silhouette. Fathi’s ensemble was further adorned with exquisite Messika jewelry, including a diamond choker, earrings, and a stack of geometric rings.
Fathi’s beauty look was equally captivating, with a radiant, burnished rose gold glow and a slicked-back ponytail complete with a hair flip. The retro ‘do, reminiscent of the 90s, has become a star-favorite, gracing the locks of celebrities like Jennifer Lopez, Hailey Bieber, and Kylie Jenner.
Fathi took to Instagram to share the special moment with her nearly 16 million followers, accompanied by Valerie Messika, the founder and artistic director of the namesake jewelry brand. The singer’s appearance at the prestigious film festival marked a significant milestone in her career, solidifying her status as a fashion and beauty icon.
