The Lebanese-Australian beauty is a front-row favourite.
You will have seen Jessica Kahawaty around. She’s a regular visitor to Dubai, a former beauty queen, a humanitarian and a lawyer.
(Anyone getting a mini Amal Clooney vibe? You’re not alone.)
She’s also a model, and with New York Fashion Week in full swing, we thought the time was right to show her a bit of love.

She’s got some pretty fast friends
Katawahy caught up with British racing driver Lewis Hamilton at last year’s Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
And has a habit of catching up with her fellow Aussies…
Kahawaty hung out with actress Cate Blanchett at last year’s Dubai International Film Festival. By the way, her gown is Ralph Lauren and Blanchett’s is Giorgio Armani.
She works with Unicef
Pictured here visiting the Zaatari refugee camp in Jordan, Kahawaty has said that her work with the children’s charity is what she’s most proud of.
And has spoken at the UN
Kahawaty addressed the General Assembly last November and spoke about teenagers and young people.
She can work some double denim…
“Britney and Justin Circa 2001 vibes,” she captioned this shot, showing both a sense of humour and some solid pop culture knowledge. The suit is Gucci.
She just hosted Michael Kors’ runway show
Just another day in the office.
She campaigns for children in crisis
This particular UN meeting was focussed on gendered violence and child protection. The next day, she headed to the Michael Kors show discussed above. If that doesn’t show some range…
She loves a local label or two
