Take a bow, Mr Saab.
Lebanese fashion designer Elie Saab is one of the all-time greats, as any regular reader of Emirates Woman will know.
Whether he’s dressing Angelina Jolie or Lupita Nyong’o, Saab’s designs shine. He’s famed for his mastery of cut and silhouette.
He’s even got his own postage stamps. Slightly major.

So you won’t be surprised to hear that he’s done it again. Join us for a look at a couple of his recent hits.
Olivia Wilde
Let’s begin with this dark romance look on actress and producer Olivia Wilde, which shows that black can be anything but basic.
With a lace skirt and sequined blazer, Saab’s design is red carpet glam done with a twist.
Wilde, who recently starred in Canadian rapper Drake’s Nice For What video, was attending the Los Angeles premiere of husband Jason Sudeikis’ film Kodachrome.
Paris Jackson
Moving right along, here’s it-girl Paris Jackson in a fern-print Saab number. It’s so, so pretty, and if you look closely you’ll notice some very clever panelling through the bodice.
The aforementioned Nyong’o wore a jumpsuit and duster in this fabric to Comic Con last year. We loved it then, we love it now. Great stuff.
Jackson was attending the Evening to Foster Dreams Gala for CASA of Los Angeles, a charity which pairs children in the welfare system with volunteer advocates.
