El Abd gives Scene Styled an intimate look at her personal style, shaped by her fast-paced lifestyle in the limelight.
In just a few short years, Egyptian actress Yasmina El Abd has built a cinematic presence that stands out, especially at the young age of 18. From her breakout role as Zeina in the hit Netflix series 'Finding Ola', to her performances in the Ramadan 2024 series 'Massar Egbari' and the family drama 'Mawdoo' 'Aeli', El Abd has demonstrated a remarkable range, refusing to be confined to a singular persona or role.
In Ramadan 2025, El Abd shone alongside Amina Khalil, Ahmed El Saadany, Youssra El Lozy, and Mohamed Shahin in 'Lam Shamseya', delivering her most nuanced performance yet—one that resonated deeply with Egyptian audiences.
Yet, whether she's walking the red carpet or sharing a candid moment on social media, her fashion choices reflect a playful and refined aesthetic. 'With fashion, I tend to lean more towards classic styles, but whenever I do something different, I embrace the moment, because you always have to try different things.' Yasmina El Abd tells SceneStyled.
In this exclusive edition of Scene Styled Selects, Yasmina El Abd curates a capsule wardrobe, virtually taking us through a week in her life, sharing insights into her personal style, and the thought process behind her favourite pieces.

This will definitely be a family heirloom – don't think I've taken it off since I stole it! And the Maybelline Sun Kisser has been another staple in my routine, as it's the perfect blush/bronzer combo, which is so perfect when travelling and wanting to look put together with the least amount of effort.' she shares.
