Effortless, Elevated, and Here to Stay: Yara Alnamlah's Newest Beauty Move
There's a new kind of beauty revolution happening in Saudi Arabia, one that favours subtle enhancement, long-lasting results, and thoughtful self-care. At the forefront is beauty entrepreneur Yara Alnamlah, the force behind Treat, a spa concept that blends luxury with intention. Her latest addition? Semi-permanent makeup, a service that promises to simplify daily routines while preserving that polished, naturally elevated look Saudi women are known for.
'We introduced semi-permanent makeup at Treat as a natural extension of our commitment to enhancing our clients' beauty while saving them time and effort,' Alnamlah explains. 'It aligns perfectly with our philosophy of effortless elegance and long-lasting results.' In a culture where beauty holds deep significance, the demand for treatments that offer both convenience and refinement is growing. 'Saudi women have an incredible eye for detail and a deep appreciation for looking well-groomed,' Alnamlah says. 'This service allows them to feel confident and camera-ready without needing to reapply throughout the day.'

Alnamlah is a personal fan of the technique herself. 'It's such a subtle way to enhance your features, just enough to feel polished but still very much yourself. It gives you that extra confidence with minimal effort.' As beauty trends in the Kingdom evolve, she notes a shift in focus, 'There's a clear move toward natural beauty, skincare-first treatments, and services that deliver real, lasting results. Women are more discerning. They want treatments that reflect their individuality and fit their lifestyle.'
So what makes Treat stand out in this growing landscape? According to Alnamlah, it's all about a bespoke experience. 'We're obsessive about hygiene, precision, and client satisfaction. Our artists are expertly trained, we use top-tier pigments and tools, and every client starts with a personalised consultation. It's not a one-size-fits-all approach.' Before committing to the service, Alnamlah encourages clients to be informed. 'Skin type and lifestyle can impact results, so we make sure expectations are clear. The consultation covers everything, from the healing process to aftercare, to ensure they feel comfortable and supported.'
The ideal client? 'Anyone who wants to cut down on their beauty routine without sacrificing how they look,' she says. 'It's especially beneficial for working professionals, mums, or anyone with sparse brows or uneven lip tone.' And the results are impressively low-maintenance: 'They usually last 12 to 18 months, with minimal downtime, maybe a little redness or peeling, but most clients are back to their normal activities right away.'

Ultimately, Alnamlah believes the art lies in restraint. 'We never want the work to overpower the face. It's about harmony, enhancing features in a way that feels balanced and true to each person's natural structure.' For those still on the fence, she offers a reassuring note: 'It's normal to feel nervous. That's why we start with a full consultation, share before-and-afters, and answer every question. It's about empowering you to make a confident, informed decision.'
With services like these, Treat isn't just offering a treatment, it's offering time, confidence, and a new kind of beauty ritual. One that feels less like a trend and more like a thoughtful evolution.

Saudi Label KML Blends Tradition and Modernity in Bold New Fashion Vision
Minimalism is often loud in fashion–white walls, clean lines and an air of controlled cool. So when I joined a Zoom call with KML's co-founders, Saudi sibling duo Ahmad and Razan Hassan, fresh off their LVMH Prize semi-final showing, I expected more of the same. What I got instead was something far more intimate and far more telling. Rather than a stylised, stark studio, the backdrop looked suspiciously like a childhood bedroom – a pristine, peachy beige one at that – immaculately organised with crisp white sheets that matched their optic tops. The unfiltered scene upended any assumptions about what a 'fashion founder' space should look like: earnest, personal, as far removed from pretentious as you can get. It was, as I quickly discovered, entirely aligned with KML's quietly contrarian approach to style. Photography by Lesha Lich, Styling by Ahmed Zaher Hassan KML, pronounced kamal, is an Arabic word meaning 'complete', an idea that sits at the core of the brand's ethos. 'It's this cultural and existential idea of people becoming more perfect, more complete when they put clothing on - the duality of being perfect on one's own, and more so when something is added,' explains Ahmad thoughtfully. It's a compelling notion, clothing not just as cover, but as an extension of self. Photography by Lesha Lich, Styling by Ahmed Zaher Hassan Raised in Medina, a city where cultures intertwine and inform one another, Ahmad and Razan's aesthetic is a direct product of the world they come from. A place where East meets West, old meets new and everything feels fluid. 'Medina is a city of mixing,' Ahmad explains, describing the fusion of Asian, African and Arab influences in their everyday lives. 'When we first started, we were focused on how different we are from other cultures. But the truth revealed the opposite; we're more similar than we are different. That was a humbling slap in the face,' he laughs. Photography by Lesha Lich, Styling by Ahmed Zaher Hassan The spirit of evolution runs through KML's latest collection, where traditional tunic tops are constructed as hybrids – part Arabian thobe, part Japanese kimono – boldly disrupted by sharp back cut-outs. Elsewhere, dramatic asymmetrical shoulder tops cut a clean silhouette, draping fluidly on both men and women, worn to great effect by model Nour Arida and celebrity stylist Law Roach at Riyadh Fashion Week. The result is a cross-cultural, gender-neutral thread that weaves together seemingly disparate influences into a coherent whole. 'There's respect for the traditional, but we're not interested in rehashing the past,' Razan says in her measured tone. 'Our goal is to evolve it. To develop it.' 'Culture that doesn't evolve risks becoming an artefact,' adds Ahmed. Its statements like these, delivered with world-weary clarity, that give the duo the essence of old souls, more like elder statesmen than the millennials they presumably are. Photography by Lesha Lich, Styling by Ahmed Zaher Hassan Where KML takes a bold step forward is in its vision of masculinity. In a world where men's fashion often recycles familiar formulas – tailored suits, sharp lines, the ubiquitous statement tee and athleisure ('casualisation as the end of humanity,' they joke) – KML offers something subtler, more introspective and altogether surprising. Nipped-in waists attenuated with thick obi-style leather belts, cropped midriff-baring jackets and voluminous skirts coaxed into place with generous draping – made practical with pockets, a utilitarian feature already appreciated by the women eager to raid this collection. Yes, we're talking menswear. It's an androgynous vision rendered in a restrained palette of black, white and muted beige, a colour-scheme and silhouette that trades bravado for nuance. Photography by Lesha Lich, Styling by Ahmed Zaher Hassan If it comes across as prolific, or groundbreaking, it shouldn't. 'Clothes – libās in Arabic – are inherently without gender,' Ahmad explains. The word's etymology opens the door to a freer interpretation of dress, unburdened by modern constructs. 'What fascinates me most is the origin of their ideas,' writes Massimiliano Di Battista, CEO of M+A Talent Group, who first encountered KML at the Saudi 100 Brands collective show in Paris. 'They reinterpret traditional Saudi ceremonial clothing for contemporary times. Their line is deeply modern yet rooted in history and craftsmanship in such an unconventional way.' That tension between heritage and reinvention has drawn international attention. This summer, Selfridges will stock a select edit of KML, a milestone that speaks to a shifting global curiosity about fashion that defies borders and binaries. Photography by Lesha Lich, Styling by Ahmed Zaher Hassan Yet, Ahmad and Razan challenge the assumption that expressive or fluid fashion for men is a Western novelty. In fact, across Saudi Arabia, men have long worn eyeliner, floral crowns, silver jewellery, colourful skirts unapologetically and without questioning their manhood. The Qahtanis, one of the oldest tribes in the Kingdom and known as the Flower Men, famously adorn their head-dresses with blooms, not as acts of rebellion, but as expressions of identity and unity with nature. 'These flowers are there, these colours are there. Why not wear them?' Ahmad asks, rhetorically. What's curious is how different generations receive KML's work. For older Saudis, the garments feel familiar, an echo of fading traditions. For younger audiences, they read as edgy, even avant-garde. This tension reveals how much Western influence has reshaped regional norms around gender and style. But for the Hassans, the intention isn't to provoke shock value. 'We're not rebelling,' Ahmad says. 'We're rejecting the rebellion that tried to erase our own traditions, re-writing them through a reflective lens.' Photography by Lesha Lich, Styling by Ahmed Zaher Hassan With the LVMH Prize experience behind them, what's next for the tireless duo who thrive on a meticulous process rooted in research, documentation and unflinching editing? 'Colour – there's a whole universe behind it,' Razan muses. It's a new realm they're eager to explore, particularly through cultural depth and representation, sure to be tinged with symbiotic meaning. They're also expanding beyond garments, 'a continued expansion of adorning the body in different 'covers' – jewellery, accessories, bags…things that we feel are still missing to complete the full story.' For both, the LVMH Prize offered more than visibility. 'It was a reminder that relevance isn't exclusive to one culture. When something is made with intent and beauty, it carries its own universality,' Ahmad reflects. 'If you'd asked me four years ago, I would have said I designed to set us apart. Today, I see it differently. It's what makes us similar, what makes us unified – that's more powerful. It's where the conversation begins.'

Inside the Riyadh Villa of Saudi Entrepreneur Nojoud Alrumaihi
Hospitality, warmth and generosity, believes Alrumaihi, are embedded in her culture and way of being. 'It extends beyond the home and into how we gather, share, dress and even celebrate. It's a culture of presence, not performance,' she says. Her charisma and creativity come across seamlessly on social media, where she shares snippets of her statement styles. A sculptural white and gold gown by Stephane Rolland and colour-blocked Rosie Assoulin ensemble appear alongside a dreamy Fendi baguette embellished with floral beadwork and new-season Valentino Garavani bag dotted with cherries. 'I gravitate towards silhouettes that honour the classics, but I always find a way to weave in an unexpected detail, whether it's an offbeat colour, an artisanal piece or a story behind the fabric,' she shares. 'I dress emotionally and intuitively.' Photography by Tamara Hamad Championing Saudi designers' aesthetics – such as Arwa Al Banawi's unapologetic edginess, Abadia's timeless elegance and the bold patterns and colours of Nasiba Hafiz, Alrumaihi sees her heritage as the foundation of her visual identity. 'It gives my style depth and meaning. I'm deeply proud of where I come from, but I reinterpret it through a contemporary lens,' she explains. 'A traditional motif can live on in a sculptural cut, or a modest silhouette can be expressed through modern tailoring. It's less about contrast, more about continuity.' Photography by Tamara Hamad Photography by Tamara Hamad This harmony is mirrored throughout Alrumaihi's home. One of her most treasured elements on display is a carpet that once belonged to the late HRH Crown Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz. 'It was originally displayed in an art studio and I was instantly drawn to its history and presence,' recalls Alrumaihi, who also owns a rare copy of Life magazine featuring King Abdulaziz on its cover. This is displayed on a mantelpiece where, in place of a fireplace, there's an amalgamation of art and fashion tomes. Elsewhere, a gallery wall comprises a cluster of prints by Saudi artist Ethar Balkhair, who centres diversity and women's empowerment in her work. Faceless figures with exaggerated silhouettes and playful proportions are draped in fashion- forward garments, bringing depth and colour to Alrumaihi's walls. 'Her work explores cultural motifs and Middle Eastern fashion in a way that feels both nostalgic and contemporary,' explains Alrumaihi. 'Each piece carries a story and together, they form a wall that speaks to heritage and identity.'

Breaking Records: Reflections From MDLBEAST's Ramadan Alharatani
Back in the 90s during the early days of satellite TV, Ramadan Alharatani would record mixtapes when music debuted on MTV, and sell them at gift shops. Then, when he went to high school in the United States, he would return to Saudi during holidays with suitcases full of CDs that hadn't yet reached local stores, reselling them at his uncle's record shop. He never imagined that his personal passion for music would evolve into something more. 'It's still hard to grasp that what was once an underground music scene in my hometown, Jeddah, would evolve to a thriving music scene globally,' says Alharatani, who, as CEO of MDLBEAST, has helped elevate the local industry to global prominence. It all started with Soundstorm – a milestone for musical performances in the Kingdom. 'It was the first public event where men and women could be in the same space, enjoying live music together at scale. It marked a cultural shift and opened the door for a more inclusive music entertainment offering,' he reflects. In 2021, the event saw 700,000 attendees over four days, becoming a large-scale, multi-genre festival attracting visitors from Saudi and beyond. MDLBEAST's other flagship events – XP Music Futures, Balad Beast and A Thousand and One – spotlight talent while also supporting the next generation of Saudi artists through workshops and networking opportunities. And, its record label helps emerging Saudi talent release original music and reach global audiences. The platform has brought international stars to Saudi's sands too, from Eminem and Metallica to Camila Cabello and David Guetta. 'One thing global performers consistently highlight is the electric energy of Saudi crowds, who are young, passionate and deeply engaged,' shares Alharatani. Photo: MDLBEAST MDLBEAST is elevating the nation's offering of music festivals and events, and it's doing so within a cultural framework. At Keinemusik in AlUla for instance, the programme incorporated prayer breaks. 'This balance of global and local is key to our identity,' says Alharatani. 'Ultimately, music creates a sense of community. On the dance floor, people from different backgrounds, cultures, and countries come together, united by a shared love for music. It's in those moments that we focus on what connects us, not what separates us. With lights that illuminate the desert sky, and added effects from drones, pyrotechnics, lasers and massive LED screens, the festival has made international headlines as a 'Saudi rave'. This year, MDLBEAST plans to inaugurate a HiFi listening bar in Jeddah's historic Al-Balad as well as a members-only pool club concept, in addition to ongoing Esports World Cup and Formula 1 events. The momentum is only escalating, according to Alharatani: 'We're excited to keep growing, breaking Arab artists internationally, expanding our reach and working with partners to continue building a creative and subcultural ecosystem for the next generation.'
