She’s a singer, a mother, the owner of a makeup brand and now, she can be a part of all your social media posts. Emirati-Yemeni music sensation Balqees Fathi is the latest personality to become a part of Vogue Arabia’s new augmented reality (AR) experiences. After launching earlier this month with our April cover star HH Sheikha Fatima bint Hazza bin Zayed Al Nahyan, this new AR experience takes it a step further by bringing a virtual version of the singer herself, wearing Bahraini brand Noon by Noor, to wherever you may be. Interact with the singer and share your videos with us using the hashtag #VogueArabia.
