    I was tasked with wearing green for a week – “to live out your true inner villain,” as my editor so delightfully put it. As someone slightly chromophobic, especially to a shade as unapologetic as green, I was taken aback. But also... intrigued. Challenge accepted. There’s something about green that feels instantly charged, an outsider colour. Blame pop culture: from Wicked’s Elphaba to Maleficent’s toxic-fume aura, green has been villain-coded, co-opted and reframed in every direction imaginable.

    Lady in Red. A concept immortalized by poets, auteurs and dreamers alike, the very embodiment of allure and untouchable confidence. And Yousra, Egypt’s cinematic royalty, reclaimed it as her own. Swanning into the Joy Awards in Jeddah, draped in a floor-length, open-shoulder George Hobeika gown, in a shade so flaming red, it didn’t just turn heads–it spun them. A reminder that true power is dressing like you know you’re the moment.
