Tonight, Lebanese couturier Elie Saab celebrated 45 successful years in the business with a star-studded evening held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Titled The 1001 Seasons of Elie Saab, the special fashion show showcased 300 stunning ensembles from the fashion house, showcased alongside not one, not two, but five different musical performances by Jennifer Lopez, Camila Cabello, Nancy Ajram, Amr Diab, and Celine Dion.
Given the weight of the momentous occasion, stars from across the globe flew to the kingdom to join the Saab family and cheer on their achievements. Of course, most of the celebrities in attendance — from Halle Berry and Monica Bellucci, to Nadine Nassib Njeim and Razane Jammal — proudly walked the red carpet dressed in Elie Saab creations. Below, a closer look at who wore what.

A little embellishment goes a long way, but tonight, the stars pulled out all the stops in Riyadh. while Saba Mubarak posed for cameras in a shimmering purple one-shoulder gown, Camila Cabello opted for a sheer black number with gold sequin work. As for Celine Dion, the legendary musician walked the red carpet in a tie-dye print pink gown coated in clear sequins and topped off with 3D flower-like accents on the shoulders.

Instead of all-eyes-on-me sparkles, some celebrities went the classic route tonight, picking elegant gowns in deeper shades. While Nadine Nassib Njeim picked an inky blue gown with rose-like detailing along the neckline (paired with a delicate headpiece), Amina Khalil gave the idea of LBDs an update with a playful silhouette. Aseel, on the other hand, posed with sister Lojain Omran in a classic black fit and flare number, completed with old Hollywood waves and a bold red lip.
