1001 Seasons of Elie Saab: the star-studded 45th Anniversary Gala in Riyadh

 

 

Last night was a night of The Legend with The Stars; in celebration of his 45th anniversary the iconic Lebanese Couterier Elie Saab staged an outstanding Fashion Show entitled 1001 Seasons of Elie Saab. Jennifer Lopez, Celine Dion, Nancy Ajram, Amr Diab, and Camila Cabello put on their globally-renowned performances during this highly-esteemed historical event.

 

While a cast of supermodel divas including Isabeli Fontana, Candice Swanepoel, Adriana Lima, Sara Sampaio, and more graced the runway. 

 

 

 

 

Inaugurating the runway on a high note is none other than Halle Berry who dazzled the audience with her iconic Elie Saab look from the 2002 Academy Awards.

 

Now that's an Oscar-winning look!

 

 

 

 

The Venue in Riyadh hosted the Gala, 1001 Seasons of Elie Saab, as part of the annual winter entertainment festival of Riyadh Season, where a collection of 300 stunning pieces were showcased. The Riyadh Season Collection Fall 2025 was designed exclusively for this event!

 

Inspired by the classic Arab tales of One Thousand and One Nights, hence the name of the Gala, Saab reinterpreted the pieces with his distinct vision, and they were also styled by Carine Roitfeld, founder and editor-in-chief of CR Fashion Book.

 

 

 

 

The dazzling superstar Jennifer Lopez kicked off the entertainment of the star-studded night after Halle Berry took her front seat.

 

She was wearing of course a sparkling tasseled bodysuit by the Lebanese designer.

 

 

 

 

And in time for Elie Saab’s signature blooms, Cabello put on a spectacular performance in a glitzy pink number!

 

The couterier's ultra-feminine designs took to the stage during her act.

 

 

 

 

Nancy Ajram and Amr Diab’s solo performances fueled the crowd with the much beloved groove of Arab tunes!

 

...before the finale that saw Dion make a grand entrance. 

 

 

 

 

 

Celine Dion expresses extreme privilege to close the show of renowned Couterier Elie Saab.

 

This marked Celine Dion's third public appearance, and second performance since her comeback at the 2024 Paris Olympics, Dion earned her standing ovation as she moved the audience to tears with a memorable act. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The front row at the show was a beautiful scenery of some of the biggest and most beloved names in the region such as Nadine Nassib Njeim, Fatima AlBanawi, Razanne Jammal, Elissa, Maritta Hallani, and Rym Saidi.

 

This night is nothing but a testimony of timeless elegance, beauty, international exchange of Art, Culture & Fashion. 

 

Elie Saab’s role in putting Arab fashion on the global map is one for the books.
