With a career spanning decades, Nancy Ajram may very well have written the rule book on Arab pop diva style. The Lebanese singer has been in the public eye since releasing her first single as a teenager and performing in front of crowds since the early 2000s.

For Ajram, this meant having on-stage outfits that were as loud and eye-catching as they came at the time. Sequins, bright colors, and metallic fabrics dominated her wardrobe in the form of long and mini dresses, separates, and even statement tops paired with jeans. Going from one sold-out show to the next around the region, Ajram’s performance looks evolved into floor-grazing monochrome dresses that cemented her status as a rising A-list pop star. There were, of course, the occasional playful numbers worn out of her penchant for risk-taking: flared-out tulle skirts, leather shorts with tights, thigh-high boots, and minis with lace detailing.

Off-duty, Ajram’s casual style is more laid-back than one would expect the ‘Queen of Arab Pop’ to be. Favoring plenty of denim and sweatpants, the singer is often spotted out-and-about in sneakers and boots, and tops paired with jackets, long coats, and cardigans. During her pregnancies, the mother-of-three also embraced remarkable maternity style by switching to loose-fitting sparkling dresses for performances, and picking cardigans and blazers paired with leggings and dresses while she was not on stage.

The pop star’s style has now taken on a more sophisticated side while still keeping in touch with all things sparkle and shine. Flying the flag for local designers, especially the fellow Lebanese Elie Saab, Georges Hobeika, and Jean Louis Sabaji, Ajram has turned to caped gowns, metallic jumpsuits, and pleated dresses.

Below, take a look at Nancy Ajram’s style evolution in pictures.
