From 2014 to Now: 59 Pictures Charting Tara Emad’s Style Evolution

It is safe to say that Tara Emad has had one of the best style transformations in the Arab world. While the Egyptian actor may now be known for her leading roles in Middle Eastern TV and cinema, her relationship with fashion predates her acting career. This meant that the Cairo-born star had plenty of room to perfect her style credentials after walking her first runway show and winning a number of pageants as a teen.

Some of her first public appearances saw Emad in mini dresses and sparkling gowns, which although were time-appropriate, did not quite ooze the cool-girl vibe her looks so effortlessly do now. Whether it’s a pared-down off-duty outfit or an all-out red carpet one, Emad’s style has come to channel the best of her personality while striking the right balance between playful and bold. The mini dresses were swapped for structured ones with minimalistic flourishes, while the gowns she now wears feature edgy cut-outs and statement silhouettes.

A constant, however, is Emad’s passion for supporting Arab designers. The Suits Arabia star may be a close friend of Chanel and star in campaigns for international brands including Bulgari and Yves Saint Laurent, but her go-to designers have always been the ones closest to home. Emad has long been a supporter of Egyptian designer and friend Deana Shaaban and frequently walks the red carpet in her dresses. Some of the other Arab labels sported by the actor include Okhtein, Azzi & Osta, Sara Mrad, Nicolas Jebran, Zuhair Murad, and Harithand.

Below, take a look at Tara Emad’s style evolution in pictures.
