“More is more and less is a bore” — a quote on maximalism by the OG fashion icon Iris Apfel that Dubai-based reality TV star Safa Siddiqui perfectly embodies.

After making her Netflix debut in season 1 of the popular show Dubai Bling, Safa Siddiqui became a household name in the Middle East for many reasons. She is bold, and feisty and loves her loud logos unabashedly.

Amongst a cast that features many names from the entertainment business, Safa manages to stand out because of her quick witty quips and unusual fashion choices. Whether she going to a social event or just visiting her best friend to make up after a fight, she is always dressed to the nines (preferably in latex and sequins).

The mother-of-two is the perfect fashion ‘it’ girl for a city that completely disregards the ‘quiet luxury’ phenomenon. When in Dubai, bring your bling.

The thing about maximalism is, that you need to be loud, but not noisy with your fashion choices. Strike a balance and know the proportions before clubbing multiple textures, colours and elements in a single combination – Safa, more often than not, manages to get this right.

Take a look at Safa’s best OTT looks that she carried with unshakable confidence:

1/10

maximalism

Safa could easily star in a Taylor Swift video, because she always dresses for revenge - especially, when she shows up in a semi-sheer catsuit.

2/10

maximalism

You don't expect her to lounge at home in sweats do you? She fought for that extra closet space and she will work it everywhere she can. Even if that means plotting her next move on the sofa in a head-to-toe crimson look.

3/10

maximalism

If she's wearing an elegant black dress, she will make sure to bring some bling with the accessories. In this case, it's a jewelled up vintage cordless phone clutch, because she always has the tea.

4/10

Sequin on sequin? Not for the faint hearted, but she wasn't one to begin with (did you see her showdown with Dana this season?).

5/10

Reporting for 'helicopter wife' duties in a camouflaging catsuit and YSL lunch box bag.

6/10

She's not a regular mom, she's a cool mom. Spot her twinning with her two girls in an electric blue feather-detailed gowns.

7/10

Not the one to play 'safe' Safa obviously paired her feathered cape with a heavily embellished gown and made it work.

8/10

Giving futuristic dressing her own fresh take, one power shoulder at a time.

9/10

Just casually doing school runs in leather shorts, gladiator boots and a cross-body Prada bag.

10/10

Repping the 'desi' culture in a holographic contemporary sari in true Safa style.
