From 2009 to Now: 38 Pictures Tracing Mona Zaki's Style Evolution

Few Arab stars can attest to having a career trajectory as impressive as their style evolution, and Mona Zaki is one of them. The Egyptian actor, whose popularity took her from the world of TV series to the silver screen, has continued to showcase her exceptional acting range for over a decade now.

In the late aughts, Zaki walked red carpets and attended film festivals in time-appropriate cocktail dresses that came in colorful hues and patterns. The occasional gown, in Arabesque designs and silhouettes, started making an appearance in the star’s wardrobe later on, but it was only when Zaki swayed away from the classic dress that her playful side showed through. The actor experimented with jumpsuits for the red carpet on multiple occasions and for her version of risk-taking, went for details that ranged from off-the-shoulder and one-shoulder numbers to a feather-trimmed neckline.

The last few years have seen Zaki realize her sartorial sense more and more in sophisticated pieces that speak to her star power. While the Perfect Strangers actor is friends of international fashion and jewelry houses including Dior and Bulgari, she remains a supporter of local talent. Zaki has been spotted in dazzling gowns by world-renowned couturiers like Zuhair Murad and Nicolas Jebran, but also in classic, understated dresses by brands like Maison Yeya, and Sandy Nour.
