Styled Archives: MENA Celebs Who Nailed the Office Siren Look
Arab icons have always known how to serve corporate chic. From crisp collars to pencil skirts, we round up the office siren looks that walked so TikTok could run. Jul 31, 2025 Before the term 'office siren' became TikTok canon, Arab celebrities were already filing expense reports in stilettos. Whether it was a sharp-shouldered blazer on a talk show couch or a pencil skirt strutting into a press conference, these women knew how to serve corporate seduction long before it was a trend. In this week's Styled Archives, we dig through the filing cabinet to uncover the most iconic moments where our region's stars gave boss energy — minus the 9-to-5. Sawsan Badr | Personal Archive (1975) Before the office siren had a name, Sawsan Badr gave it a face. Her voluminous blowout and razor-thin brows complete a look that's equal parts structured and subversive. Mona Zaki & Ghada Adel | "Isaaf 55" Premiere (2001) A little androgyny, a lot of early 2000s edge. Mona brought waist-cinched elegance; Ghada went full loose-tie cool. Monochrome, but far from minimal. Somaya El Khashab, Hend Sabry, Nour & Hani Salama | "Ezay El Banat Tehebak" BTS (2003) Matching ties, slick grey pants, and Doc-style boots — the girls came coordinated and camera-ready. With every hairdo serving something different, the energy was tight, tailored, and totally theirs. Hani Salama was there. Haifa Wehbe | Dubai (2004) Business trip but make it Haifa. Climbing those hotel stairs in a silky blue top laced at the edges, blazer in tow, smoky eye set to stun, and French tips locked in. Hanan Turk | Ahla El Awqaat (2004) Smart, sharp, and all attitude. Hanan Turk goes full cerebral chic in an all-black look, tiny frames, and a tousled chestnut pixie that means business. Elissa | Elie Saab's Haute Couture Ball (2005) Elissa pulled up in a full power play: grey pantsuit, blush butterfly lace top, and a fur-trimmed coat ready for the boardroom or the ballroom. Sherine Abdel Wahab | Cairo International Stadium (2006) Sherine hit the stage in a sharp pinstripe suit with a satin shirt and belt detail. Power dressing with a pop star twist. Nancy Ajram | Shakhbat Shakhabeet Music Video (2007) Playing the chicest teacher in pop, Nancy wore a checked puff-sleeve dress, belted at the waist, with bouncy curls and black-rimmed glasses. Laila Eloui | Dubai International Film Festival (2007) Silk florals, a tailored vest, and Chanel on the shoulder—Laila Eloui brought effortless glam to the Seventh Heaven press circuit, topped off with sunnies in her hair and the softest smokey eye. Menna Shalaby | Cannes Film Festival (2012) Menna Shalaby did Cannes her way: sharp ivory tailoring, a satin tie, and a quiet kind of confidence. Hair blown out, sunglasses in hand.

Amro Zidan Maps the 'Ecstasy of Mania' on New Experimental LP
Across 18 tracks, the Alexandria-born artist blends frenetic rhythms, distorted noise, and industrial textures with trippy influences from Egyptian shaabi music. Jul 31, 2025 Alexandria-based artist Amro Zidan dives headfirst into the chaotic euphoria of manic episodes on his new experimental LP, 'Ecstasy of Mania'. Across 18 tracks, Zidan blends frenetic rhythms, distorted noise, and industrial textures with trippy influences from Egyptian shaabi music. The project reframes mania not as a breakdown, but as a combustible source of creativity, if one dares to treat it as a companion. The opener, 'Outta Control', plunges you straight into the frenzied impulses and disorganized thoughts of a manic state. A flurry of sped-up beats and abrasive textures clash with fleeting, aggressive tabla patterns. There's no clear structure, only a raw, disorienting sonic spiral that mirrors the disorder within. 'On Bow Leg Eye', hallucinations come in with heavily processed, warped vocals drifting over glitchy melodic fragments and scattered percussive sounds. Meanwhile, the title track further escalates the chaos, fusing psychedelic shaabi keys with clanging metal and pulsing industrial rhythms. 'Dose Please (Argook El Gor3a)' brings in a moment of dark humor, sampling a one-liner from an Egyptian cult favourite comedy 'Wesh Egram'. But the joke quickly sours as jagged, deconstructed rhythms and industrial synths creep in, signaling tension, and perhaps the looming threat of a crash. By the time 'No Return' arrives with what sounds like broken radio transmission underlined by distorted basslines, evoking a descent into the abyss.
