The maison’s vision is to scout versatile personalities who embody the Valentino values rooted in diversity—from cinema and music to literature and sports, each selected DI.VA. plays a pivotal part in bringing this noble idea together. The Valentino DI.VA.is a wearer of many hats and is upheld by her inner values. Empathetic, intelligent, and romantic.

Balqees is known for pushing the envelope in the music industry and positioning herself as a female powerhouse to be reckoned with. She is a bold, rebellious and a woman whose music is unique and liberal. Valentino is all about championing values of different cultures through international personalities who share a similar sentiment. A celebration of diversity and individuality is all about embracing authenticity—through a form of self-expression that is based on truth with no room for compromise.

After being named the face of Swarovski’s Ramadan line this week, Balqees has been on a roll with this latest luxury news. “Being a Valentino DI.VA. for me means being part of a community that shares my same values. I am a singer and music to me is freedom, empathy, and euphoria … It’s simply life. Today, I learned how to live love and with every Valentino piece I wear, I feel liberated and in unconditional love with myself,” shared Balqees, in an official statement.

Although, this isn’t the first time Balqees has been associated with the Italian house, the Emirati pop sensation attended Valentino’s Fall-Winter Haute Couture show in Rome, showcased on the steps of Piazza di Spagna. For the presentation, Balqees opted for a PP pink structured dress with cutout details from Valentino’s PP pink collection.
