Egyptian actress, Huda Al-Mufti, announced her latest milestone in the fashion world — she has been named the first regional ambassador for renowned Italian luxury fashion house, Dolce&Gabbana, in the Middle East.
Al-Mufti’s appointment follows a standout year for the actress, who was also named a brand ambassador for another iconic Italian luxury label, Bulgari, in 2023. These global brand collaborations mark a significant step in her career, showcasing her growing influence and presence within the international fashion scene.
The actress, known for her roles in Egyptian cinema and television, has garnered a significant following in the Arab world and beyond. Her sophisticated sense of style, coupled with her strong social media presence, has made her a natural fit for top luxury brands. As Dolce&Gabbana’s regional ambassador, Al-Mufti will represent the brand across various campaigns, events, and digital platforms, further solidifying her role as a style icon.
A Rising Star in a Changing Fashion Landscape
Al-Mufti joins a growing number of regional celebrities who have been tapped by major global brands to represent their labels in the Middle East. Her appointment is part of a larger trend where fashion houses are increasingly turning to Arab faces to connect with this dynamic and rapidly expanding market.
This year, Egyptian rap artist Marwan Pablo was named a regional brand ambassador for Italian fashion label Diesel, marking another example of how Middle Eastern talent is becoming increasingly influential in the world of high fashion. Similarly, Lebanese-British actress Razane Jammal was appointed the brand ambassador for French luxury giant Dior’s beauty line in January, further highlighting the rising recognition of Arab talent in luxury fashion.
Another key figure in this movement is Lebanese influencer Karen Wazen, who became the face of Roberto Cavalli fragrances worldwide. Wazen, like Al-Mufti, has made an impact by leveraging her extensive social media following and influence to secure global partnerships. Wazen’s role as an ambassador for one of the world’s most renowned fragrance brands underscores the increasing importance of social media and online engagement in shaping brand partnerships.
The Middle East as a Growing Luxury Market
These appointments highlight the Middle East’s growing influence in the global luxury market. The region has become a key focus for many luxury brands, not only due to its wealth and growing consumer base but also because of its deep cultural ties to fashion and beauty. As Arab countries continue to play a prominent role in shaping global trends, international brands are increasingly turning to regional stars to represent their image and connect with local consumers.
Dolce&Gabbana, in particular, has long had a presence in the Middle East, and Al-Mufti’s appointment is a testament to the brand’s commitment to further solidifying its influence in the region. With her passion for fashion, stunning looks, and social media appeal, Al-Mufti is poised to help the brand continue its growth in this key market.
