Today we’re joined by entrepreneur and luxury footwear designer Andrea Wazen as she unpacks everything she brings with her on a trip to London. From statement outerwear to standout evening dresses, Andrea talks us through the key pieces she relies on when transitioning from the Dubai sunshine to the unpredictable British weather. Expect elegant Nour Hammour coats, a reversible Varley layer, perfectly cut Citizens of Humanity denim and cosy Ralph Lauren cashmere. For evening, it’s all about chic leather, Norma Kamali drama and Camila Coelho cocktail dresses – styled, of course, with Andrea’s own platforms and signature heels, loved by the likes of J.Lo, Sydney Sweeney and Jenna Ortega. She also shares the bags she swears by (including a vintage Hermès Birkin and Bottega Veneta tote), clever reversible accessories from her own line and the travel essentials she never flies without. Elegant, sexy and always comfortable, Andrea’s packing philosophy proves great style starts from the ground up.

Welcome back to the SheerLuxe Middle East Podcast. This week, host Tamar Jabi is joined by Hebah Baker, Talar Bilemjian and special guest Hanya Alkhamis, visiting from Kuwait, for a fun chat on all things health, wellness, fashion and pop culture. First, the team share their current wellbeing obsessions. From the David Beckham-backed IM8 supplement to viral vibration plates, walking pads, red light therapy and the benefits (and debates) around ice baths, fasting and sauna “glow rotations”. Plus, they dive deep into blue light glasses, gut health resets and the best places to unwind in the region. Then, it’s onto fashion: expect outfit breakdowns, standout new finds, chic laptop bags and the designers the team can’t stop talking about. Finally, they round things off with celebrity chatter, including Olivia Dean and a lively discussion on labels, confidence and what ‘good style’ really means.

Step inside the beautiful home of fashion designer and Lady Fozaza founder Alanoud Badr, as she welcomes us into her light-filled, ever-evolving space. In this intimate home tour, Alanoud talks us through her philosophy of building a home slowly and intentionally, sharing the stories behind her favourite pieces – from statement works by Egyptian and Syrian artists to vintage furniture finds from Paris and London.

On this episode of the SheerLuxe Middle East Podcast, Tamara, Talar and Hebah are back with their latest edit of everything worth knowing right now. They kick things off with the buzziest launches and cultural moments on their radar – from Color Wow’s Pop & Lock, Sole DXB and Zara’s new AI tool, to wellness finds like Amy Sessions/Welltth, and the charm of Heart Cottage Lane. The League is also on their radar – a curated, members-only platform connecting like-minded, career-driven people that feels perfectly suited to Dubai’s social scene. Next up, they discuss their latest fashion finds, including the Nour Hammour Artise jacket, standout pieces from Hertunba (the Eye top and fringe dress), Repetto ballerina flats and jewellery by Pierre Laborde. In Mustn’t Miss, they spotlight the Sarah Jessica Parker interview on SheerLuxe Middle East and the Never Fully Dressed pop-up event, before diving into the hot topics of the week – covering Rhode’s latest moves, Kate Middleton, Rama Duwaji, Timothée Chalamet’s Golden Globes speech and more. Finally, they wrap up with their ride-or-die essentials, from the Fitbit Luxe and Oura Ring to Olivia von Halle pyjamas, wrist and ankle weights, and Gabby George’s bridal arms TikTok series.

Join us in this exciting episode as we welcome Sarah Jessica Parker, who is back in Dubai for the first time in 11 years! We dive into her stunning new jewellery collection created in collaboration with Astrea London and founder Natalie Morrison, which includes an array of twistable rings and beautiful necklaces that reflect the duo’s friendship and creativity. SJP explains how this collaboration came to be and shows us her favourite pieces from the collection, including friendship bracelets inspired by her iconic role in ‘Sex and the City’. We also explore her favourite fashion moments, including her memorable encounter with Oscar de la Renta. Dressed in Dima Ayad, SJP emphasises the importance of supporting regional talent and how she curates her outfits to express gratitude during her travels. Plus, we chat about her signature necklace tuck and the freedom of personal expression in jewellery.

Welcome back to the SheerLuxe Middle East Podcast – and to our final episode of the year. Hebah Baker and Talar Bilemjian join Tamara Jabi. The three get into the region’s fashion momentum – from Dubai Fashion Week’s guest designer Alberta Ferretti to Riyadh Fashion Week opening with Vivienne Westwood and closing with Stella McCartney – before spotlighting the emerging names they’re loving, including Dubai favourite Emergency Room and its new Timberland collab. They also unpack the retail launches set to shake up 2026, from Ulta Beauty and Primark landing in the region to a clever “portable ATM” service that feels peak-Dubai convenient. There’s chat about what they’re watching (and avoiding), what they’re wearing, and the fashion finds heading straight into their carts. They also run through the cultural openings you can’t miss – including Abu Dhabi’s Natural History Museum – the latest celebrity chatter, and the broader Ozempic/body-positivity conversation. Finally, they share the products they can’t live without right now, from Kosas’s colour-correcting concealer to a portable red-light panel and Cymbiotika’s supplement sachets.

Go inside the beautifully layered home of Dalia El-Ali, where art, design and personal storytelling come together in a space she’s completely reimagined from the ground up. In this home tour, Dalia walks us through her Victory Heights house in Dubai – a full renovation that transformed a closed, traditional layout into an open, light-filled home defined by sculptural architecture, hanging stairs and a striking black-and-white base. Her love of art takes centre stage, with a thoughtfully curated collection spanning Lebanese, Palestinian, Iranian and international artists – many discovered through travels, Art Basel, Art Abu Dhabi and Dubai Design Days. From embroidered and textile-led artworks to custom-designed furniture, Murano lighting and playful pops of colour, every piece has a story and a purpose. You’ll also see how Dalia blends modern design with Middle Eastern heritage, incorporating arches, mother-of-pearl details and handcrafted elements that reflect her roots. The tour continues through her intimate TV room, statement guest bathroom, semi-open kitchen designed for hosting, and out into the garden, where a retro pink bar, sunset golf views and poolside living complete the home.

Step inside the stunning Dubai home of Aya Cotran as she invites SheerLuxe Middle East inside her renovated Jumeirah villa – a rare, character-filled space blending London charm, Palestinian heritage and modern Dubai living. From the bold orange blossom entryway and nostalgic black-and-white flooring to a library-effect wallpaper, custom Rosso Levanto marble sink and a Rosa Valencia dining table she designed herself, Aya’s home is full of colour, print, heirlooms and stories collected from around the world. We explore every room – including the cosy family spaces, Mediterranean-inspired kitchen, Art Deco bar and British-style majlis – plus the lush garden. Along the way, Aya shares more about her favourite design details, her love of wallpaper and maximalist prints, and the sentimental pieces that make her house feel like home.
